Effects of 8 Weeks of Resistance Training with Traband on Dynamic Balance in Young Soccer Players

Objective: Keeping one's balance is a basic part of daily activities and it is an important factor in the performance of the athletic. The goal of this study was to study the effect of resistive exercises on young soccer players dynamic balance. Methods: Forty young soccer players voluntarily participated in this study and were randomly divided randomly into two groups of experimental and control. Subjects' dynamic balance in pre-test and post-test was measured using Biodex balance system. Experimental Group took part in an eight-week designed program of resistive exercises. Results: The average age (18.22±0.83 year), height (173±5.73 cm), Weight (62.1±6.88) were measured and independent sample t-test were run to compere the data collected in the pre-test and posttest. To see if there were meaningful differences in the performance of the groups following the training. The result indicated positive effect of the training of the overall balance (p= 0/001), lateral (p=0/001) and anterior-posterior (p=0/001) balance in the experimental groups. Conclusion: Results confirmed the significant influence of these exercises on subjects’ dynamic balance. Based on the results, using resistive exercises can be recommended in order to improve athletes’ dynamic balance
