The current study aimed to determine the effects of low (i.e., balance task only) versus high (i.e., balance task combined with an additional motor task like dribbling a basketball) balance training complexity (6 weeks of training consisting of 2 × 30 min balance exercises per week) on measures of static and dynamic balance in 44 healthy male adolescents (mean age: 13.3 ± 1.6 years).
Irrespective of balance training complexity, significant medium- to large-sized pretest to posttest improvements were detected for static (i.e., One-Legged Stance test, stance time [s], 0.001 < p ≤ 0.008) and dynamic (i.e., 3-m Beam Walking Backward test, steps [n], 0.001 < p ≤ 0.002; Y-Balance-Test-Lower-Quarter, reach distance [cm], 0.001 < p ≤ 0.003) balance performance. Further, in all but one comparison (i.e., stance time with eyes opened on foam ground) no group × test interactions were found. These results imply that balance training is effective to improve static and dynamic measures of balance in healthy male adolescents, but the effectiveness seems unaffected by the applied level of balance training complexity.
本研究旨在确定低复杂度(即仅平衡任务)与高复杂度(即平衡任务结合其他运动任务,如运球)平衡训练(6 周的训练包括每周 2 次、每次 30 分钟的平衡练习)对 44 名健康男性青少年静态和动态平衡测量的影响(平均年龄:13.3±1.6 岁)。
无论平衡训练的复杂程度如何,静态(即单腿站立测试,站立时间[s],0.001<p≤0.008)和动态(即 3 米向后走平衡木测试,步数[n],0.001<p≤0.002;Y 平衡测试低位,伸展距离[cm],0.001<p≤0.003)平衡表现均有中等到较大的前后测改善,且除一项比较(即睁眼在泡沫垫上单腿站立的时间)外,均未发现组×测试的交互作用。这些结果表明,平衡训练对改善健康男性青少年的静态和动态平衡测量具有有效性,但应用的平衡训练复杂程度似乎对其效果没有影响。
