BALANCE TRAINING AND PHYSICAL ABILITY OF BASKETBALL PLAYERS
ABSTRACT Introduction Balance in gait is a fundamental factor for rhythmic changes on the court, and physical fitness is a basic requirement for competitiveness in basketball. Objective Analyze the effects of balance training on the gait and physical fitness of basketball players. Methods Thirty basketball athletes were selected and randomly divided into a control and experimental group. A balance training program including balls was added to the experimental group, while the control group followed only the traditional training program. The experiment lasted 8 weeks, with the interventions applied 3 times a week. Finally, relevant data collected before and after the experiment were statistically analyzed and discussed. Results The experimental and the control groups showed a statistical gain in balance, with a greater change interval in the experimental group, demonstrating the effect of dynamic balance training in improving basketball-related physical indices. Conclusion There are some deficiencies in the traditional basketball training program that can be compensated with the addition of the balance training program presented in this article, fully improving the skills of basketball players. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
