The effects of a single leg balance training program on static and dynamic balance of the trained and untrained lower extremity, in healthy female students
The objective of this randomized trial is to investigate the effect a single leg balance training program on static and dynamic balance of the trained and untrained lower extremity, in healthy female students. In this study 30 subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be recruited and randomly assigned into intervention or control group. The healthy female subjects would be recruited and subjects with balance or vestibular disorder and regular participation in balance training program would be excluded. The subjects in the intervention group will receive balance exercises as standing on one leg on a half ball .Intervention lasts 3 times/week, for 4 weeks. The subjects in control group will receive no intervention. Static and dynamic balance indices of all participants with eyes opened and closed, will be measured before and after the intervention, and will be compared between 2 groups. Researchers will be blinded to the experimental groups and outcome measures of each group.
