This study's aim was two-fold: (i) to test the intra-session reliability of the one-leg balance activity test; and (ii) to assess the influence of age on reaction time (RT) and the differences between dominant and non-dominant feet. Fifty young soccer players with an average age of 12.4 ± 1.8 years were divided into two groups: younger soccer players (n = 26; 11.6 ± 0.9 years) and older soccer players (n = 24; 14.2 ± 0.8 years). Each group then completed four trials (two with each leg) of the one-leg balance activity (OLBA) to evaluate RT under a single-leg stance. Mean RT and the number of hits were calculated, and the best trial was also selected. -tests and Pearson correlations were performed for statistical analysis. Values for RT were lower, and the number of hits was higher while standing on the non-dominant foot ( = 0.01). MANOVA revealed that the "Dominant Leg" factor did not affect the multivariate composite (Pillai Trace = 0.05; F(4, 43) = 0.565; = 0.689; Partial ETA Squared = 0.050; Observed Power = 0.174). The "Age" factor did not present an effect on the multivariate composite (Pillai Trace = 0.104; F(4, 43) = 1.243; = 0.307; Partial ETA Squared = 0.104; Observed Power = 0.355). The results of the present investigation demonstrate that RT may be lower while standing on the non-dominant foot.
(i)测试单腿平衡活动测试的组内信度;(ii)评估年龄对反应时间(RT)的影响以及优势脚和非优势脚之间的差异。50名平均年龄为12.4±1.8岁的年轻足球运动员被分为两组:较年轻的足球运动员(n = 26;11.6±0.9岁)和较年长的足球运动员(n = 24;14.2±0.8岁)。然后,每组完成四次单腿平衡活动(OLBA)试验(每条腿各两次),以评估单腿站立时的RT。计算平均RT和命中次数,并选择最佳试验。进行t检验和Pearson相关性分析以进行统计分析。站立在非优势脚上时,RT值较低,命中次数较高(P = 0.01)。多变量方差分析显示,“优势腿”因素不影响多变量综合指标(Pillai迹 = 0.05;F(4, 43) = 0.565;P = 0.689;偏Eta平方 = 0.050;观察功效 = 0.174)。“年龄”因素对多变量综合指标没有影响(Pillai迹 = 0.104;F(4, 43) = 1.243;P = 0.307;偏Eta平方 = 0.104;观察功效 = 0.355)。本调查结果表明,站立在非优势脚上时RT可能较低。
