Abstract: The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of proprioceptive training on dynamic and static balance among soccer players. To achieve the purpose of this study, 20 male soccer players were randomly selected as participants from Wilson Football Club (WFC) and Spirited Football Club (SFC), Tuticorin, Tamilnadu, India. Their age were ranged from 18 to 22 years. The selected participants were randomly divided into two groups such as Group-I underwent proprioceptive training (n=10) and Group-II acted as control group (n-10). Group-I underwent proprioceptive training for three alternative days and one session per day and each session lasted for 60 minutes for eight week of periods. Group-II was not exposed to any specific training but they were participated in their regular activities. The data on dynamic and static balance were collected and administering by “Y” balance and stork balance stand tests. The pre and posttests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior to and immediately after the training programme. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the dependent‘t’ test and Analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA) for each and every selected variables separately. It was concluded that the proprioceptive training group had shown significantly improved in dynamic and static balance. However the control group had not shown any significant improvement on any of the selected variables such as dynamic and static balance.
