Gain in Strength and Muscular Balance After Balance Training

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2001
The isolated effect of balance training on muscle strength of the flexors and extensors of the knee, without accompanying strength training, has not been addressed in the past. Effects of a balance training program alone were compared to a strength training program.

A Comparative Study of Sports-specific Balance Training versus Plyometric Balance Training

Chettinad Health City Medical Journal, 2022
Introduction: Football is a sport that involves running as the foremost part in which the lower limb plays a vital role in participation. Balance training is vital to athletic performance and should be integrated into an athlete’s daily training. Plyometric represents the performance of stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) activities that involve a high ...

Figure Skater Level Moderates Balance Training

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2012
It was suggested that baseline levels of postural control in figure skaters might influence the effectiveness of neuromuscular training. The aims of the present study were to investigate the baseline association of skater skill level with standard center of pressure metrics and time to stabilization, and to determine if skill level influenced the ...

Balance training (proprioceptive training) for patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2009
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis may have an increased risk of falls due to impairments in lower-extremity joints, which may result in either mobility, or postural stability problems. There is evidence in the literature suggesting that balance, agility and coordination training techniques can induce changes in lower-extremity muscle activity patterns

EFFECTS OF BALANCE TRAINING ON SELECTED SKILLS

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2006
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a 4-week balance training program on specified functional tasks. Thirty-six subjects (age = 22.7 +/- 2.10 years; height = 168.30 +/- 9.55 cm; weight = 71.15 +/- 16.40 kg) were randomly placed into control (C; n = 19) and experimental groups (Tx; n = 17).

Can Balance Training Promote Balance and Strength in Prepubertal Children?

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2011
The prevalence of sustaining a fall is particularly high in children. Deficits in postural control and muscle strength are important intrinsic fall risk factors. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of balance training (BT) followed by detraining on postural control, plantar flexor strength, and jumping height in prepubertal ...

The effects of dual task gait and balance training in Parkinson’s disease: a systematic review

Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2018
In patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), the ability to perform simultaneous tasks may be impaired. However, there is no consensus as to whether the strategy of use dual task (DT) should be used with PD patients during gait and balance training because
