“…However, few studies have focused on investigating the effect of calf-muscle stretching in soccer players, and many have neglected to consider the impact of soleus-muscle stretching [ 9 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. Since ankle flexibility is closely related to dynamic balance [ 25 ], which is a key component of physical fitness among soccer players [ 26 , 27 , 28 ], calf-muscle stretching can significantly benefit soccer performance [ 4 ]. The soleus muscle is one contributor to dorsiflexion ankle flexibility.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 4 weeks of soleus stretching on ankle flexibility and dynamic balance, as well as selected monitoring and performance tests in soccer. Forty-five healthy female soccer players were randomly divided into a regular stretching group, a regular stretching group with soleus stretching, and a control group. Dynamic stretching protocols were performed for 4 weeks during three sessions per week as part of routine exercises. The regular group stretched three muscle groups (i.e., gastrocnemius, quadriceps, and hamstrings), while the regular + soleus group also stretched the soleus muscle. Before and after the stretching intervention, the ankle range of motion test, Y-balance test, drop jump test, dynamic knee valgus test, and Illinois Agility Running Test were performed. Ankle ROM, Y-balance, and DJ significantly improved in both intervention groups compared to controls. Only the regular + soleus group showed improvement in the Illinois Agility Running Test. Additionally, athletes performing the additional soleus stretching had greater improvements in ankle ROM and DJ but not in DKV or Y-balance. The results showed that adding soleus stretching into regular protocols can provide benefits for female soccer players in terms of performance parameters.

“…Individual and team sports involve quick starts and stops, rapid change of directions, efficient footwork, and quick adjustment of the body or body parts [2,19]. Agility is the ability to maintain control body position while quickly changing direction during a series of movements [20]. Agility is one of the elements of physical condition that plays an important role, especially in sports, including basketball, when being guarded by an opponent.…”

Purpose: The author tried to examine the water and sand exercise models to maximize athletes’ training ability as exercise media. Material and Methods: This research is experimental research with a “Two Groups Pretest-Posttest” design that includes a pre-test before the subjects are given treatment and a post-test after the treatment. The research populations were twenty male athletes from a basketball club in Yogyakarta, selected using a random sampling technique. All samples were subjected to a pre-test to determine the treatment group, ranked by their pre-test scores, then matched with the A-B-B-A pattern in two groups with ten athletes each. The sampling technique used in this dividing step was ordinal pairing. This research was conducted 18 times in treatment. The instrument used was an agility test using the Lane agility test. The movements for each number are as follows, (1) Sprint, stunt step, (2) Right slide (running with a guard position to the right side), (3) Run backwards, (4) Left slide, (5) Right slide, (6) Sprint, stunt step, pivot, (7) Right slide, (8) Sprint. Results: The research used normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing. To test the hypothesis, the researchers used the two types of t-tests, namely paired sample test and the independent sample test. The T-test is a statistical analysis technique that can be used to determine whether there is a significant difference between two sample means or not. The results revealed that the t count was 2,335 with a p significance value of 0.031. Because the t-count was 2.335 and the significance value was <0.05, these results indicated a significant difference. Conclusions: There was a significant difference in the effect of the exercise methods (water exercise and sand exercise) on agility. The sand exercise training method was higher (better) than the water exercise training method on the agility of basketball athletes.

The present study aimed to determine the effect of core training on agility, explosive strength and balance in young female volleyball players. 20 young female volleyball players volunteered to participate in the study. Vertical jump, counter movement jump, pro-agility and dynamic balance tests were applied to all volleyball players before and after the core-training program. The athletes were selected randomly and divided into two groups as study group (n=10) and control group (n=10). The study group performed core exercises added to the beginning of the training sessions for 8 weeks (3days/week) in addition to volleyball training. The control group, on the other hand, continued volleyball training alone. At the end of 8 weeks, the tests applied in the pre-test were repeated and analyzed for all participants in order to determine the effect of core training on agility, explosive strength and balance parameters. In the statistical analysis of the study, Kurtosis-Skewness test was used to determine the normal distribution of the data. Mixed Anova and two-independent independent-samples t-test were used to make in-group and between-group comparisons. During the study, the level of significance was accepted as 0.05. A statistically significant difference was found in the balance precision index, static vertical jump (cm), counter movement jump (cm) and pro-agility agility test (sec) parameters when comparing the study and control groups. As a result, core exercises performed in addition to volleyball training appear to have a positive effect on agility, explosive strength and balance performances.
