Complex Motor Activity Behind Soccer Dribbling

I choose to investigate the complex motor activity behind soccer dribbling. Indeed, dribbling is the maneuvering of a ball by a player with their feet while moving in a given direction, in an attempt to avoid other players to intercept the ball. Soccer dribbling requires strength, speed, and very good lateral moves. Indeed, this complex movement involves legs coordination, rhythmical movement, and dynamic balance.
1) The cerebellum plays an important role in motor control. Indeed, it contributes to the coordination, timing, and accuracy of voluntary movement, it maintains balance and posture. It is also involved in motor learning. In this case, the cerebellum is involved in the learning of soccer dribbling. It allows soccer players to sprint with the ball at their feet while
Basal ganglia allow soccer to perform axial movements such as turns and pivots. Furthermore, basal ganglia contribute to the asymmetrical limbs movement such as running.
3) Two Ventromedial tracts: - Reticulospinal tract is involved in the movements of locomotion and posture. It also contributes to voluntary movements. In this case, Reticulospinal facilitates the running of the soccer players.
-Vestibulospinal tract plays an important in head-eyes coordination, it maintains posture and balance. In dribbling soccer, the Vestibulospinal tract allows soccer player to maintain stability and balance on the ground while they are dribbling. Indeed, soccer players need to keep their head up and off the ball in order to see where their teammates and their opponents are and if there is room to pass or to shot. So, soccer players need to have a great head-eyes coordination.
4) Two areas of the frontal Lobe: -Primary motor cortex: Responsible for voluntary movements. It is involved in the actions of running while dribbling.
-Premotor Cortex: involved in planning movements, the sensory guidance of movement and understanding people
