Treatment and study plan

Balance Training

Device

balance training exercises performed on the biodex balance system 3 sessions every week for 12 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. Balance

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    biodex balance system device to measure balance Anterior posterior Stability index (APSI) This index is calculated using the degree of oscillation of the platform, in which low values indicated that the individual had good stability.

Secondary outcomes

  1. atheletic performance

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    atheletic subjective performance scale

    • asking participants to rate their performance during the past week according to their own opinion.
    • Use the scale between 1-10: 1="not at all satisfied", 10="fully satisfied":
