Abstract

Background: India's national sport is field hockey, which is played all around the world.The capacity to combine sensory input from numerous mechanoreceptors to determine one's body position is known as proprioception.Movement sense, also known as kinaesthesia (kinesis: movement, aesthesis: sensation), is a part of proprioception.Proprioceptive receptors, the sense of touch, the vestibular system, and the processing of visual information all work together to govern tone and the experience of force and pressure during postural regulation.In general, agility is described in terms of two locomotor movements that are used in place of a linear sprint and a direction shift.Based on the listed potential effects of proprioceptive training, particularly the alteration in muscle force generation, it is assumed that some alterations in speed and explosiveness may be anticipated after this type of training.Aim: To study to study the effect of proprioceptive exercise on postural control and agility in professional hockey players.Methodology: Intervention given for 6 weeks, 3 session per week.Pre data was collected.For static postural control Reach test was used, and for the dynamic postural control SEBT was taken.Agility was measured by T test.Result: There was significant effect of proprioceptive exercises on postural control and agility.Conclusion: Proprioceptive exercises are effective in improvement in postural control and agility in Hockey Players.
