“…In the studies which examine the effects of balance trainings on balance, agility and speed; Saraswat et al, (2015) [18], found that 4 weeks of balance training significantly improved agility (p<0.05). In their study on the effects of 6-week dynamic balance studies on agility and vertical jump in football players, Güler and Eniseler (2017) [19], found that 6-week balance exercises significantly improve agility and explosive strength (p=0.005).…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of 8-week balance exercises on the speed and agility in 10-12 year-old children in physical education lessons. A total of 789 students participated in the study voluntarily. The students were randomly divided into two as experimental group (n=399) and control group (n=390). In addition to their physical education lessons, the experimental group participated in the balance training program 3 days a week, for 8 weeks. The control group students only participated in physical education lessons. Height, body weight, body fat ratio measurements were taken before and after exercise program, flamingo balance test, 20 m speed test and Illinois agility test were applied. The data were evaluated in SPSS 16 program. T-test was used in dependent and independent groups in statistical analysis (p<0.05). In the experimental group significant difference was found in 20m speed, agility and balance values at the end of 8 weeks (p<0.05). In the control group, there was no significant difference was found in these values (p>0.05). As a result of the study, it was determined that balance exercises have a positive effect on speed, agility and balance performance.

“…Twenty one studies applied a training intervention in addition to regular training and 7 studies used a warm-up intervention in place of the usual warm-up routine [14] [18] [31] [32] [36] [37] [38]. Stated compliance in the 10 IPPs ranged from 24–100% [50] [26] [27] [48] [17] [18] [10] [14] [33] [21] whereas 18 were undefined [23] [24] [25] [19] [28] [29] [30] [47] [34] [35] [39] [40] [41] [42] [51] [49] [44] [46].…”

“…Of the 9 studies comprising of sports specific IPPs, 1 assessed dynamic balance [39], 1 static balance (2 overall measures) [45], 3 power (7 overall measures) [21] [40] [25], 3 strength (8 overall measures) [21] [44] [25], 4 speed/agility (9 overall measures) [40] [42] [43] [46] and 1 endurance [40] as a function of performance. The IPPs ranged from 1–20 different exercises lasting between 15-60min.…”

“…Two studies implementing plyometric training and dynamic balance training improved post-protocol t-test scores [40] [46]. A significant between group interaction effect was observed at total, fastest, slowest and mean linear sprint time as well as shuttle sprints with and without a ball after completing sprint training [42], although no difference was observed during the slalom runs.…”

General versus sports-specific injury prevention programs in athletes: A systematic review on the effects on performance

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction Injury prevention programs (IPPs) are an inherent part of training in recreational and professional sports. Providing performance-enhancing benefits in addition to injury prevention may help adjust coaches and athletes’ attitudes towards implementation of injury prevention into daily routine. Conventional thinking by players and coaches alike seems to suggest that IPPs need to be specific to one’s sport to allow for performance enhancement. The systematic literature review aims to firstly determine the IPPs nature of exercises and whether they are specific to the sport or based on general conditioning. Secondly, can they demonstrate whether general, sports-specific or even mixed IPPs improve key performance indicators with the aim to better facilitate long-term implementation of these programs? Methods PubMed and Web of Science were electronically searched throughout March 2018. The inclusion criteria were randomized control trials, publication dates between Jan 2006 and Feb 2018, athletes (11–45 years), injury prevention programs and included predefined performance measures that could be categorized into balance, power, strength, speed/agility and endurance. The methodological quality of included articles was assessed with the Cochrane Collaboration assessment tools. Results Of 6619 initial findings, 22 studies met the inclusion criteria. In addition, reference lists unearthed a further 6 studies, making a total of 28. Nine studies used sports specific IPPs, eleven general and eight mixed prevention strategies. Overall, general programs ranged from 29–57% in their effectiveness across performance outcomes. Mixed IPPs improved in 80% balance outcomes but only 20–44% in others. Sports-specific programs led to larger scale improvements in balance (66%), power (83%), strength (75%), and speed/agility (62%). Conclusion Sports-specific IPPs have the strongest influence on most performance indices based on the significant improvement versus control groups. Other factors such as intensity, technical execution and compliance should be accounted for in future investigations in addition to exercise modality.

“…Detailed examination of bias clearly shows variation in study quality, to the extent that the internal validity of some particular findings is questionable [35]. Despite the considerable differences among the studies, it is astonishing that in all of them the balance training interventions led to significant increases in agility and physical performance capacity [36][37][38][39][40][41][42].…”

Background: Athletes are trained for agility according to the requirement of their game. Agility training is the integral part of training protocols in almost all the games in one way or another. The majority of games require acceleration, deceleration and sudden change of direction without losing balance. Aim: To investigate the effects of dynamic balance training on agility and balance of young athletes participating in different types of sports. Methods: The authors systematically searched Google Scholar, Pedro, PubMed database for relative literature in accordance with the PRISMA criteria for literature searches. Authors studied many randomized controlled trials of dynamic balance training protocols and their influence on agility in young athletes participating in different sports. Results: Out of 3500 studies 09 studies met the selection criteria which dealt with the effects of dynamic balance training on agility in young athletes participating in different sports. In all studies agility was influenced positively by dynamic balance training of athletes despite the sports they were indulged in. Conclusion: This systematic analysis of the relevant literature indicates that dynamic balance training protocols can increase agility significantly in young athletes in just a few weeks despite the game they are indulged in. Some of the interventions also have an effect on static and dynamic postural control.
