Currently, sports activities require a high reaction speed, coordination, and balance, highlighting the relationship between proprioceptive control, visual control, and hand-eye coordination in youth. The present research assessed the proprioceptive control, reaction speed, and lower limb balance of youth from five different schools to identify the level of physical preparation of children in this direction. This prospective study was conducted between 1 January 2020 and 29 February 2020. A total of 107 healthy children (33 females and 74 males) with appropriate medical conditions, aged between 14 and 15 years, from five Romanian schools were included in the experiment. All children were assessed for visual control and reaction speed with the ruler drop test, and for lower limb balance, the standing stork test was used. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, data series distribution, and comparison of means and medians using specific statistical programs. Comparison of medians highlighted significant statistical differences in the standing stork test with eyes closed and the dominant leg compared with the nondominant leg ( = 0.0057). Males were compared to females at the nondominant leg ( = 0.0179); closed eyes were compared with opened eyes for the nondominant leg ( = 0.0175 and 0.0006) for the ruler drop test comparing the dominant hand with the nondominant hand ( = 0.0212). Children who engage in sports activities better integrated sensory information in motor action execution based on reaction speed and coordination with the nondominant hand.
目前，体育运动需要较高的反应速度、协调性和平衡能力，这突出了本体感觉控制、视觉控制和手眼协调之间的关系。本研究评估了来自五所不同学校的年轻人的本体感觉控制、反应速度和下肢平衡能力，以确定儿童在这方面的身体准备水平。这项前瞻性研究于 2020 年 1 月 1 日至 2 月 29 日进行。共有 107 名健康儿童（33 名女性和 74 名男性）符合适当的医学条件，年龄在 14 至 15 岁之间，来自罗马尼亚的五所学校参加了实验。所有儿童都接受了视觉控制和反应速度的测试，使用标尺下降测试，以及下肢平衡的测试，使用站立鹳式平衡测试。统计分析包括描述性统计、数据系列分布以及使用特定统计程序比较均值和中位数。中位数的比较突出了在闭眼和优势腿与非优势腿的站立鹳式平衡测试中存在显著的统计学差异（=0.0057）。与女性相比，男性在非优势腿的站立鹳式平衡测试中（=0.0179）存在显著差异；在非优势腿的标尺下降测试中，闭眼与睁眼（=0.0175 和 0.0006），以及优势手与非优势手（=0.0212）进行比较。参与体育活动的儿童在执行运动动作时更好地整合了感觉信息，反应速度和协调性都有所提高。
