Stanowisko do badania zdolności koordynacyjnych kończyn dolnych osób uprawiających piłkę nożną

W artykule opisano stanowisko badawcze zdolności koordynacyjnych kończyn dolnych składające się z układu sterowania oraz z dwóch przyrządów: jednego przeznaczonego do przeprowadzania próby różnicowania ruchów i drugiego do badania równowagi statycznej, częstotliwości ruchów lokalnych i globalnych. Omówiono przebieg poszczególnych prób oraz określono końcowe wyniki pomiaru. Zwrócono uwagę na specyficzne cechy tego typu układów pomiarowych. Przedstawiono przykładowe wyniki badań.

Football is one of the sports that requires proper coordination capabilities of the lower limbs. The evaluation of such capabilities, which must include limb asymmetry, is required at each stage of the training. The evaluation is a basis on which the load, intensity, and training means are selected. So far, such studies have been performed using a stopwatch, a ruler, and a wooden stand, the so-called t-bar. To facilitate the research and improve the reliability of the results, a specialized test stand was built. The design process was aimed at simplicity of the resulting instruments. There were also taken into account available financial resources. This paper describes the research test stand for lower limb coordination capabilities. It consists of a control system and two devices, one for trial of movement differentiation and the other for trials of static balance, as well as local and global movement rate. The operator manages the course of attempts using a PC with dedicated software. The paper discusses the course of each trial task and describes the measurement results. Some of the specific features of this type of measurement systems, visible only during the actual tests, are also mentioned. The basic functions of trials managing software are outlined. Moreover, the paper presents the measurement results obtained from tests of lower limb coordination capabilities.
