Introduction: Among all the factors that affect human health and success, maintaining balance and paying attention to physiological characteristics and body composition can be very effective in childhood. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of anaerobic gymnastics training (AGT) on static, dynamic balance, physiological indexes, and body composition in obese and normal-weight b...

Background and Aim: Research has shown that the type of attentional instructions plays a vital role in performance and learning of various skills, including balance skills and postural control. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of internal and external (close & far) attentional focus on the static and dynamic balance of chemical veterans with movement impairment. Me...

Objectives: Joint supporters can caused increasing proprioceptive information. Such proprioceptive information is needed for balance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of soft knee support on static and dynamic balance tests in male elderly (65 years and older). Methods & Materials: Via a randomized clinical trial study design, 22 elderly were selected and divided into tw...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of weight transfer training on static and dynamic balance of older women. 20 accessible subjects that met our criteria divided randomly into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group trained for 6 weeks, 3 times a week and each session 60 minutes a day. Biodex balance system used for training and testing procedures. Data analys...

Objectives Balance is an index to determine the level of independency of elderly (65 years and older) in their daily activities. We aimed to examine the effect of a combined aerobic and balance training on static, dynamic and functional balance of elderly women. Methods & Materials This was a semi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design with one exercise intervention and one cont...

Introduction: The present study evaluates reliability of functional balance assessment tests in children aged 7-10 and its correlation with selected anthropometric parameters. Methodology: Population of the study includes 80 students aged 7-10 (40 female and 40 male). The Sharpened Romberg Test was used for static balance, while timed up and go test, Tandem walk test, and Y test were used for ...

Introduction and Purpose: Due to the importance of functional balance tests assessment with emphasis on parameters influencing the balance including somatotype, this study undertaken to determine the reliability of functional balance tests (static, semi-dynamic and dynamic) in endomorphe healthy women within 24-34 years old. Methodology: 25 female endomorphe with the average and standard dev...
