摘要

The present study investigates the relationship between balance and soccer skills performances among female soccer players. Twenty-three female soccer players (n = 23, weight: 49.7 ± 6.9 kg, height: 1.60 ± 0.4 m, age: 18.4 ± 1.9 years) from sports schools and academies volunteered to participate in this study. The Johnson Modification Balance Test (JMBT) and the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) were used to assess dynamic balance ability and Loughborough Soccer Passing Test (LSPT) and Loughborough Soccer Shooting Test (LSST) were used to assess soccer skills performances. A Pearson Correlation was used to measure the correlation between dynamic balance and soccer skills performance. No significant was found between dynamic balance and soccer skills performances: JMBT and LSPT (r = 0.10, P = 0.963), JMBT and LSST (r = 0.10, P = 0.963) as well as the SEBT and LSPT (r = −0.32, P = 0.129) and SEBT and LSST (r = 0.78, P = 0.724). At this point, within the study context, equilibrium has no significant impact on the ability to execute passes and shoot accurately among female soccer players. More research is required to determine the influence of balance on motor skills, balance ability may be related to competition level for some sports with the more proficient athletes displaying greater balance ability.
