Objective: The effective variables in maintaining balance come from sensory information that is obtained from sensory-visual, vestibular and visual systems, and is affected by coordination, range of motion and muscle strength. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between neuromuscular mechanisms and the static and dynamic balance of soccer players.
Methods: In an analytical observational study, among the football players of the Shahdari Tabriz Club, 45 people were selected to examine the relationship between strength, joint strength, proprioception and range of motion. The static equilibrium value was measured by means of the equilibrium error assessment (BESS), dynamic equilibrium by Y test, knee range of motion and proprioception using an electrogunometer and chest and hamstring muscle strength and joint force sensation using an isokinetic dynamometer it placed. Finally, using SPSS software version 19 and running the Pearson correlation coefficient, the relationship between variables was evaluated at the significance level of 0.05
Results: The results showed that there wouled be a significant relationship between extensor muscle strength and knee flexion, joint force sensation, proprioception and knee range with static and dynamic balance (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results of the study imply that improvement of knee joint strength in soccer athletes may improve their static and dynamic balance.
