Influence of six-week training intervention with visual feedback on the NeuroCom SMART Equitest System on the postural stability of football players

Title: Influence of six-week training intervention with visual feedback on the NeuroCom SMART Equitest System on the postural stability of football players Objectives: The first aim of this diploma thesis is to find out the effect of the six-week training intervention with visual feedback performed on the NeuroCom SMART EquiTest on the postural stability of football players. The second aim of this diploma thesis is to correlate the Maximum Excursion parameter from the Limits of Stability test on the NeuroCom with the Star Excursion Balance Test score performed on The MAT. Methods: This research involved 20 football players in the age from 19 to 30 (age average = 23,85; SD = 2,79), who belong to the adult category. First, soccer players underwent initial postural stability measurements using seven tests on the NeuroCom SMART EquiTest and excursion distance measurements when performing the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) on the MAT. Subsequently, they were randomly divided into two groups: control (n=10) and experimental (n=10). The experimental group underwent a six-week training intervention with visual feedback using training protocols on the NeuroCom SMART EquiTest. After the training intervention of the experimental group, postural stability was measured again on a NeuroCom SMART EquiTest and..
