Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the dynamic balance ability and whole bodymuscle function of field hockey players.
Methods: The subjects consisted of 12 university soccer players and eight field hockey players. The anterior,posteromedial, and posterolateral reach directions dynamic balance ability of both feet for the two groupswere determined using the Y-balance test kit. Each hand-push, each hand-pull, upper body-push, upperbody-pull, trunk rotation, lower body-push, and lower body-pull were measured for the two groups, usingthe smart muscle testing device.
Results: For the Y-balance test, soccer players scored significantly higher than field hockey players forleft-posterolateral (p=0.024). Whole-body muscle function measures showed that field hockey players scoredsignificantly higher than soccer players for the right hand-push (p=0.002) and left hand-push (p=0.035).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that soccer players frequently shoot and dribble with their leftleg as a stepping foot, and the dynamic balance ability of the left-posterolateral is dominant due to theactivation of the tibialis anterior muscle used in the stepping foot. In addition, in the case of field hockey,due to the use of a hockey stick, , the muscle strength of the right hand-push and left hand-push is dominantdue to the adaptation of the muscles to the pushing force of the upper body, which is mainly used inmovements such as dribbling, passing, and shooting.
