Special didactics in the postural stability of young players

Previous research has evaluated the training effect of soccer, in adolescence on postural control through the use of a strong platform for the detection of the Center of pressure (COP); this research, however, showed only how soccer. unlike other sports or sedentary subjects, would improve postural stability during adolescence before a man’s normal biological development. However, the meaning of this potential can be given by the abilities developed through this sport, or by its training/situations that facilitate the learning process. This further research on the influence of soccer training on postural control will have to search specifically for the factors that lead to a greater postural control; therefore, the project concerns the experiencing of two different training methodologies on 2 groups of children aged between 6-7 years, who will be offered their training program for 5 years and, at the beginning/end of every year / training cycle assessments will be made through a strength springboard of the COP in order to evaluate the postural stability of children. The educational applications will be made according to the cognitive and prescriptive teaching approach or that of eco-dynamic and heuristic learning type, with the aim of highlighting what type of methodological approach in soccer will lead to a greater postural control in adolescence in order to obtain additional data that can contribute to Peterson’s research (2006) on the variables that influence the postural control during the adolescence.
