[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of static and dynamic balance by using Medicine-ball and Swiss-ball exercises. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-six normal adults who agreed to participate were included in the study. Subjects were randomly assigned to the Medicine-ball (n=18) and Swiss-ball groups (n=18). The participants performed the exercise for 6 weeks. Balance error scoring system and one leg standing test were performed to determine static balance, and functional reach test and timed up and go test were performed to determine dynamic balance. [Results] A significant improvement was observed from the Medicine-ball and Swiss-ball exercises, but no difference was found between the groups. In addition, a significant difference was found between balance error scoring system, one leg standing test and functional reach test after pre- and post-exercise of the Medicine-ball and Swiss-ball. [Conclusion] The findings of this study showed that the Medicine-ball and Swiss-balls were effective in improving static and dynamic balance.
[目的]本研究旨在探讨使用健身药球和瑞士球训练对静态和动态平衡能力的影响。[对象与方法]选取36名同意参与研究的正常成年人。受试者被随机分为健身药球组（n = 18）和瑞士球组（n = 18）。参与者进行为期6周的训练。采用平衡误差评分系统和单腿站立测试评估静态平衡能力，采用功能性前伸测试和计时起立行走测试评估动态平衡能力。[结果]健身药球训练和瑞士球训练均使平衡能力得到显著改善，但两组之间无差异。此外，健身药球组和瑞士球组训练前后在平衡误差评分系统、单腿站立测试和功能性前伸测试方面存在显著差异。[结论]本研究结果表明，健身药球和瑞士球训练对改善静态和动态平衡能力有效。
