What is it for....
To develop proprioceptive stimulation work on the upper limbs, we thought of using balls of the same color and size but of different weights.
Before presenting a job proposal we must understand what proprioception of the upper limbs is and what value it can have for the goalkeeper.
Specifically, it allows you to get in touch with the ball at the right time and in the right way.
The correct way is not only about the “precision” factor but also includes the “right speed” of action and the “right amount of force” to apply to the ball.
This factor becomes decisive both in the catch and in the deviations.
Balls of different weights force the goalkeeper to make three different specific adjustments.
The first occurs during the transmission of the ball. In fact, light balls, at close distances, with the same throwing force, arrive earlier than heavy balls. This factor forces our athlete to perform movements preceding contact with the ball with different speeds, depending on the weight of the thrown ball. This internal adaptation greatly stimulates the choice of the correct timing.
The second stimulus factor concerns the modulation of the correct degree of force to oppose to the ball. In fact, we know that two equal but opposite forces cancel each other out and it is on this concept that some principles related to the technical gesture of catching are based.
In this sense, using different balls means “accustoming” the upper limbs to manage continuous variations of different forces. This internal adaptation stimulates the “sensitivity” of the joint proprioceptors (especially the Golgi tendon organs”) and of pressure.
Wanting to be more precise and complete we could say that there are situations in which the force to be opposed must be greater than that expressed by the ball in motion, since only in this way can it change its trajectory. That surplus of force generates deviations and in any case requires an ability to manage the "right speed and direction" and the "right force" which represents the third point on which we must work in terms of stimulating proprioception.
