[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of ankle exercises on balance ability when using shoe height insoles. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty adults in their 20s, who were students, were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group (n=15/group). Individuals in the experimental group wore height-adjustable silicon insoles measuring 3, 5, and 7 cm three times per week for four weeks. The ankle exercise program consisted of stretching exercises, resistance training, and a balance exercise. [Results] There was a significant improvement in the balance ability of the experimental group for all height insoles (3, 5, and 7 cm) following the exercise program, as compared with before the exercise program. There was no significant improvement in the balance ability of the control group for all height insoles following the exercise program as compared with before the exercise program. The experimental group exhibited a significant improvement in balance ability following the exercise program for all the height insoles as compared with the control group. [Conclusion] According to the results of this study, active ankle exercises are helpful in preventing ankle joint damage, as they improve balance ability.
[目的]本研究旨在探讨使用增高鞋垫时踝关节运动对平衡能力的影响。[对象与方法] 30名20多岁的成年学生被随机分为实验组和对照组（每组n = 15）。实验组个体每周三次穿着3厘米、5厘米和7厘米的可调节高度硅胶鞋垫，共四周。踝关节运动方案包括伸展运动、阻力训练和平衡运动。[结果]与运动方案实施前相比，实验组在使用所有高度鞋垫（3厘米、5厘米和7厘米）进行运动方案后，平衡能力有显著提高。与运动方案实施前相比，对照组在使用所有高度鞋垫进行运动方案后，平衡能力无显著提高。与对照组相比，实验组在使用所有高度鞋垫进行运动方案后，平衡能力有显著提高。[结论]根据本研究结果，积极的踝关节运动有助于预防踝关节损伤，因为它们能提高平衡能力。
