Efects of Long-Term Training Program on Static and Dynamic Balance in Young Subjects

Abstract

Purpose: Te purpose of this study was to examine the efcacy of a long-term training program of 10 weeks on static and dynamic balance parameters in a young healthy population. Methods: Participants were 35 young healthy female subjects. Balance measurements were done using the Flamingo Balance Test (FBT) for static balance and the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) for dynamic balance. Results: Dynamic balance points increased and static balance points decreased afer a 10 week training protocol compared with before training, indicating improvement in both dynamic and static balance. Conclusions: Tese results indicate that long term training resulted in an improvement both static and dynamic balance. Training can be suggested for patients with balance problems
