Background. Developing lower extremity muscles in a proportional shape plays an important role of balanced body movement. It is believed that special development of muscles which provide multidirectional movements of ankle will contribute to the increase of balance ability, and this may significantly support the improvement of technical skill performance in football. The aim of the research was to examine the ability to keep dynamic balance and ankle joint muscle strength in football players, and to prove the relation between the ankle joint muscle strength level and the dynamic balance ability of each foot. Methods. The participants were amateur footballers (n = 17, football experience 10 ± 1.4years, weekly training 12 ± 1.3 h). “WFQ-R poll” questionnaire was used to determine the participants’ dominant and non-dominant limb, the dynamic balance was assessed using “Tecnobody Pro-Kin Type B 252” (Italy) device and ankle joint muscle strength was measured using an isokinetic dynamometer “Cybex Norm” (USA). Results. Significant differences (p < .05) were found between limbs for ankle plantar flexors, in non-dominant limb plantar flexors were stronger. Dynamic balance ability for dominant foot was better in comparison with non- dominant foot. The correlation was found between ankle plantar flexors, evertors, invertors and between dorsal and plantar flexors for both limbs. Conclusions. Strength improvement of muscles affects the movement of the ankle dynamic balance positively, but for the development of static and dynamic balance, proprioceptive balance training is as effective as strength training.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of balance training with electromyogram-triggered functional electrical stimulation (EMG-triggered FES) to improve static balance, dynamic balance, and ankle muscle activation in stroke patients. Forty-nine participants (>6 months after stroke) were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 25) and the control group (n = 24). The experimental group underwent balance training with EMG-triggered FES for 40 min a day, 5 days a week, for a 6-week period in addition to general rehabilitation. The control group underwent balance training without EMG-triggered FES along with conventional therapy. Outcome measures included static balance ability, dynamic balance ability, and leg muscle activation. The static and dynamic balance abilities were significantly improved after intervention in both groups (p < 0.05), although the experimental group showed considerably greater improvement than the control group (p < 0.05). Leg muscle activation on the affected side resulted in significant improvements in the experimental group (p < 0.05) when compared with baseline but not in the control group. Balance training with EMG-triggered FES is an acceptable and effective intervention to improve the static balance, dynamic balance, and ankle muscle activation in stroke patients.

Static and dynamic balance abilities enable simple and complex movements and are determinants of top athletic performance. Balance abilities and their proficiency differ fundamentally with respect to age, gender, type of balance intervention, and type of sport. With this study, we aim to investigate whether 4weeks of dynamic balance training (DBT) improves static balance performance in school-aged gymnasts and football players. For this purpose, young male gymnasts (n=21) and male football players (n=20) completed an initial static balance assessment consisting of two one-legged stance (left and right foot) and two two-legged stance (eyes open and eyes closed) tasks. Subsequently, all participants underwent a 4-week intervention. DBT consisting of nine individual tasks was performed two times per week. Another static balance assessment followed 1day after the last training session and retention was assessed 2weeks later. Dynamic balance scores and total path length were analyzed via rank-based repeated measures designs using ANOVA-type statistics. The influence of factors GROUP and TIME on the static and dynamic balance performance was examined. Prior to DBT, young gymnasts showed better static balance performance than football players. However, after intervention, both groups improved in both one-legged stance tasks and also had high retention rates in these tasks. No significant improvements were seen in either group in the two-legged balance tests. Both groups improved in the dynamic balance tasks, although no differences in learning rates were evident. Our findings imply an inter-relationship between both static and dynamic balance components. Consequently, training regimes should include both balance components to facilitate early development of balance ability.

Background. Core stability (or core strengthening) has become a well-known fitness trend that has started transcending into sports medicine. It has become a common practice to incorporate balance tasks into the training program for athletes who want to improve performance and prevent injuries. Hypothesis. We suggest that core stabilization and balance training with closed eyes will be more effective than training with open eyes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of core stabilization training with open eyes versus closed eyes on balance and stability of young football players. Methods. Fourteen healthy young football players aged 10–12 years were assessed for pre and post core stabilization training using two balance tests: Stork Balance Test (SBT) and Modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT), and one test for core stability ‒ McGill Core Stability Test (MCST). The intervention included twelve twenty-minute training sessions each of them involved six core strengthening exercises. One group performed exercises with open eyes, and another with eyes closed. Results. Core stability exercises with eyes closed as well as the same exercise done with eyes open insignificantly improved dynamic balance and core stability, but significantly improved the static balance of the subjects. Conclusion. After applying training with closed eyes as well as eyes open, core stability and balance of young football players increased insignificantly. There were no significant differences in core stability and balance training between training with eyes open and eyes closed.Keywords: core stabilization training, balance, open eyes, closed eyes.

The Relationship

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between lower extremity isokinetic muscle strength and dynamic balance ability of elite judo athletes and improve the efficient dynamic balance ability of athletes.METHODS A total of 26 male and female judo national candidates (13 males and 13 females) were participated. Isokinetic strength and dynamic balance in three consecutive areas of the lower limbs (knee, hip, waist) were measured. Multiple regression analysis step selection method was used to analyze the correlation between isokinetic strength measurement variables and dynamic balance ability. In addition, the results were analyzed by dividing the difference of fitness variables between male and female athletes and male and female athlete groups.RESULTS The male athlete group showed higher muscle strength in all areas of isokinetic strength (p <.01). Stability was statistically significantly higher (p <.05). There was interrelationship between the lower extremity isokinetic strength and the dynamic balance of the lower extremities in male and female athletes. The trunk flexion showed the highest correlation with the dynamic balance in the male athletes, and trunk flexion and hip extension in female athletes.CONCLUSIONS The trunk muscle strength showed the highest correlation with the dynamic balance ability in male and female athletes.
