摘要:The objective of this study is to determine the level of application of the safe and protected ways of falling before an unexpected and unintentional fall in a team of Alevin players in Messina, Italy. A quasi-experimental research design is applied to an incidental sample of 15 players (age M = 10 ± 0.6) on their spontaneous response to an unintentional fall backwards. The results show that 3/4 of the sample does not present any protection mechanism in the event of a fall. It is concluded that in the team of Alevin players in Messina, Italy, there is no specific training on protected and safe ways of falling backwards.
