Abstract
The aim of our contribution was to verify the impact of mobilization exercises on muscle shortening in football players of MFK Snina U13. A two-group experiment was used. The probands’ research group consisted of 20 players, where the experimental ensemble consisted of 10 players and a control set of 10 players. We used the Janda (1982) shortened muscle testing methodology, modified by Thurzová (1992). After the initial measurements, a compensation program of balancing exercises was developed, which was applied to probands for six weeks within the training process. After six weeks of operation, we conducted an output measurement of the entire proband research set. We found decreased incidence of shortened muscles on the basis of targeted compensation programme of mobilization exercises and an occurrence of statistically significant changes between the input and output measurements in the experimental group on p < 0,01 and p < 0,10 and also between the outputs in the experimental group compared to the control group on p < 0,01 and p < 0,10. The results of the research have shown that an appropriately selected mobilization exercises can have a positive impact on the shortened muscle condition of young football players.
