Overview
Aim of the study is to compare balance, core stabilization performance, foot reaction time, and body awareness in 50 amateur football players aged 13-19 (Group I: 13-15 years, and Group II: 16-19 years) according to age, and to determine age-related performance differences.
Detailed description
The aim of this study is to evaluate balance, core stabilization performance, foot reaction time and body awareness in amateur football players aged 13-19 years, to examine how these parameters change according to age groups, and to compare and reveal developmental differences in these performance components in young athletes. This research study is designed as an observational and cross-sectional evaluation study. The study aims to collect and compare the data according to age on participants' sociodemographic data, balance status using the Y-Balance Test, endurance levels using the McGill Core Endurance Test, reaction time using the Nelson Foot Reaction Test, and awareness levels using the Body Awareness Questionnaire.
