Characterization of a professional youth soccer player's lower extremity motor component
Keywords:
motor component, motor coordination, sports injuries, sports performanceAbstract
The performance of an elite athlete is influenced by several factors. Among them, the motor components have a significant impact on the complexity of motor coordination, mainly with regard to the organization and execution of movements and motor planning. The objective of this work is to characterize the motor component of the lower limbs of a Colombian professional youth soccer player. This is a descriptive case study with a quantitative approach. The motor component of the lower limb of a 20-year-old Colombian professional soccer player was analyzed. The variables of flexibility, explosive strength, muscular strength, baropodometry and stabiliometry were studied. Differences were observed in the right body segment, mainly in the trunk flexibility tests (back saber flexibility test, 90/90° test, and Thomas test), as well as in the stability and baropodometry tests. A greater load distribution was observed in the left foot (65%), which is slightly cavus, consistent with significant changes in the static body stability and body barycenter tests, demonstrating an alteration in the motor component. Flexibility and stabiliometry show a greater change, which increases the likelihood of sports injuries. Changes in the motor component are known to reduce the likelihood of injury in football soccer players.
