Lower limb musculoskeletal injuries in sports are linked with balance abnormalities and altered postural control. Dynamic balance screening should be performed in order to identify athletes at risk. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the preseason dynamic balance performance and side-to-side asymmetry of healthy elite male soccer players, using modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT). Seventy-three elite soccer players (23.8 ± 5.4 years) were evaluated using the mSEBT. Normalized reach distances, side-to-side asymmetries, and composite scores were determined. The composite scores were 93.33% ± 8.99% for dominant leg and 93.36% ± 9.23% for nondominant leg. No significant differences were found between dominant and nondominant limb in any direction. The mSEBT is an easy-to-use tool to measure the dynamic balance performance in elite athletes. It can be applied successfully during preseason physical examinations. Future studies are needed to establish predictive cutoff points in order to increase mSEBT use in screening soccer players for dynamic balance abnormalities and identify those at risk for noncontact lower limb injuries.
运动中的下肢肌肉骨骼损伤与平衡异常和姿势控制改变有关。为了识别有风险的运动员，应该进行动态平衡筛查。本研究的目的是使用改良星形伸展平衡测试（mSEBT）评估健康精英男性足球运动员的赛前动态平衡表现和左右侧不对称性。73 名精英足球运动员（23.8 ± 5.4 岁）接受了 mSEBT 的评估。确定了归一化的伸展距离、左右侧不对称性和综合得分。优势腿的综合评分为 93.33% ± 8.99%，非优势腿的综合评分为 93.36% ± 9.23%。在任何方向上，优势肢和非优势肢之间均无显著差异。mSEBT 是一种用于测量精英运动员动态平衡表现的简单易用的工具。它可以在赛前体检期间成功应用。未来需要进行更多研究，以确定预测临界值，以便在筛查足球运动员的动态平衡异常和识别非接触性下肢损伤风险方面增加 mSEBT 的使用。
