Abstract Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of the plyometric training programs on balance in normal individuals. Subjects and method: Thirty healthy subjects from male gender were involved, aged between 20-30 years. They were randomly assigned in two equal groups, fifteen subjects each. Subjects in the first group (experimental group) received a plyometric training program, while subjects in the second group act as controls. Training was done 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Balance was measured before and after treatment using Biodex balance system. Results: There were significant differences between two groups in overall balance (p was <0.001) and the percentage of improvement in overall balance in study group was higher (77.71%) than in control group (14.92%). Conclusion: Plyometric training proved to have significant effects in improving balance in healthy subjects |
