Physiotherapy focused on the postural system and tissues of the lower extremities in child football players
MARŠÍK, Roman
The thesis concerns with the topic of the physiotherapy which is focused on a postural system and tissues of the lower limbs of children playing football, whereby I focus on the influence of the deep stabilization, and the body posture, especially on muscles of the lower limbs. I assume that the importance of the deep stabilization within training units of football players is often ignored, especially talking about children. The current trend puts emphasis primarily on the performance, and only then on the condition of the player themselves which may also affect the performance itself. Without preventive measures, such as various types of compensatory exercises, medical complications may occur in the form of injuries, and these may further limit the player. These exercises serve as an injury prevention or as the compensation of unilateral load which may occur. The theoretical part of the thesis was focused on the postural system in connection with postural functions and the deep core stabilizing system and its connection with the position of various segments. Furthermore, it was focused on biomechanical features, especially muscle and connective tissues which are of high importance by football players, moreover, these are often injury-prone. This section is followed by the list of injuries which occur most. Also, the elements of preventive measures are described here, such as compensatory exercises or the use of compensatory utilities, and the last section of the theoretical part features the methodology of training children in terms of physiotherapy. In the practical part I dealt with the examination of four probands - children aged 11-12. In the examination I concerned with the body posture, the shortening of muscles fibres, postural functions and the postural stability which was detected by posturography.
