Background: Reaction time is the time taken to respond to a stimulus. Reaction time is a pre-requisite of any sports player. A short reaction time is an indicative of swift movements and attentiveness on field of the player. A player on field should have the ability to multitask. This ability is strengthened using dual task exercises. Method: Participants- 27 school basketball players of 13-16 years were included in the study. Hand dominance was assessed using the handedness questionnaire and leg dominance was assessed by asking the participant to kick the ball. Reaction time was assessed using the reaction timer and dynamic balanced was assessed using the Y balance test. Both the parameters were recorded as a pretest and posttest after intervention of dual task exercises. As an intervention 3 dual task exercises throwing and catching a ball while walking, spot marching and jump up to reach targets and side marching and passing the ball were used. Each exercise was done for a period of 8-10 mins respectively. During this time their regular basketball practice and physical fitness exercises were continued in school respectively. Results: The data was analyzed using SPSS version 24.0. A significant change was found in the reaction time of basketball players with p Value obtained as 7.26E-06. The balance component showed a significant improvement as well. P Values obtained for Anterior direction is 0.048, for posteromedial direction is 0.053and for posterolateral direction is 0.014. Conclusion: Dual task exercises along with basketball training were effective in improving the reaction time and dynamic balance in basketball players. KEY WORDS: Reaction time, dual task exercises, Dynamic balance, Y balance test, School basketball players.

Introduction. The aim of the present study was to compare static and dynamic balance among professional athletes in football and basketball. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, 47 professional, male football and basketball players from Pro League in Iran participated. They were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 included 16 participants with history of grade 1 or 2 single ankle sprain within the past 6 months. Group 2 included 17 participants with recurrent ankle sprain. Group 3 included 14 participants without history of ankle sprain. Static and dynamic balance were measured by the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) and modified Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), respectively. Results. For the single-leg stance on a firm surface, group 2 scored errors with a high mean value of 3.94 compared with the other 2 groups, and the difference was statistically significant (P = .03). Significant differences in BESS scores are observed on both surfaces across the tandem limb between groups 2 and 3. Conclusion. The measures from the SEBTs may not reflect the balance performance especially in well-trained athletes who have a better balance when performing sport-related skills. However, BESS includes static postures, and it may reflect postural deficits better than dynamic tests in the more experienced athlete. Level of Evidence: Diagnostic, Level IV

Background and Aims: Genu Varum is an angular deformity of the knee that is responsible for the alteration of the forces at the knee so that the line of force shifts farther medially from the knee joint centre intensifying the medial compartment load and creating a medial joint reaction force that is nearly three and a half times that of the lateral compartment. Football is a high intensity sport that places inordinate amounts of load and torque on the knee joint making it more susceptible to growth deformities in the developing age groups. Genu varum is a predisposing factor to lateral instability which affects dynamic balance. This study consists of a comparison in dynamic balance between professional football players, those without a knee deformity and those with genu varum deformity using the Star excursion balance test. Methodology: A comparative study was conducted among 40 elite level football players and they were divided into two groups one of which consisted football players without a knee deformity and the other group which comprised of football players with genu varum. Genu varum was calculated using the intercondylar distance measure. Star excursion balance test was used to assess dynamic balance of each individual and their average distances were calculated for each direction in the test. Results: The Reach Distances in the anterior direction showed no significant difference (P>0.05) between the control and Group Bs whereas significant differences (P<0.05) were obtained in the Posteromedial and Posterolateral directions. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in reach distances in the anterior direction but significant differences in the reach distances were observed in the posteromedial as well as the posterolateral direction suggesting that genu varum deformity does affect the dynamic balance in elite level football players. Key words: Genu Varum, Football Players, Dynamic Balance, Star excursion balance test.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of dual-task training on static and dynamic balance in patients with multiple sclerosis. Data sources: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and PEDro databases were searched from inception to March 1, 2021. Methods: This study was conducted in agreement with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Two reviewers assessed studies for inclusion and extracted data. We used the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale to evaluate the methodological quality and the risk-of-bias. Randomized clinical trial data were pooled for the meta-analysis. The effect sizes and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated by random-effect models. Egger regression and Begg-Mazumdar rank correlation test were used for publication bias. Results: A total of 13 studies involving 584 patients (42.3 ± 9 years mean ± SD; 377 females) met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review, while nine were included in the meta-analysis. People who received dual-task training interventions showed significant improvements in the Timed Up & Go test 0.44 [(95% CI = 0.22; 0.65), P-value<0.001], and in the Berg Balance scale 0.46 [(95% CI = 0.07; 0.85), P-value = 0.02]. Low and moderate heterogeneity between the studies was found for the Timed Up & Go test and the Berg Balance scale, respectively. Conclusion: The findings from the current meta-analysis support dual-task training as a beneficial therapy for improving dynamic balance and functional mobility in patients with multiple sclerosis. The limited number of studies that investigated static balance performance after dual-task training do not currently allow us to draw a conclusion about any possible improvements in this ability.

Context: The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) is a widely accepted method of assessing dynamic postural stability. The Y Balance Test (YBT) is a commercially available device for measuring balance that uses 3 (anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral) of the 8 SEBT directions and has been advocated as a method for assessing dynamic balance. To date, no studies have compared reach performance in these tests in a healthy population. Objective: To determine whether any differences exist between reach distance performance for the anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions of the SEBT and the YBT. Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Setting: University motion analysis laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 20 healthy active male participants (age = 22.50 ± 3.05 years, height = 1.78 ± 0.82 m, weight = 79.48 ± 11.32 kg, body mass index = 24.96 ± 2.56 kg/m2). Intervention(s): Participants carried out 3 trials in each reach direction on each leg on the SEBT and the YBT a minimum of 1 week apart. Main Outcome Measure(s): The means of the 3 trials in each direction on each leg on both tests were calculated. Data were collected after 4 practice trials in each direction. Paired t tests and Bland-Altman plots were used to compare reach distances between the SEBT and the YBT. Results: Participants reached farther in the anterior direction on the SEBT than on the YBT. No differences were observed in the posteromedial and posterolateral directions. Conclusions: Differing postural-control strategies may be used to complete these tasks. This finding has implications for the implementation and interpretation of these dynamic balance tests.

Objective: The elderly have a decrease in muscle power and cognitive functions, leading to a higher risk of falling. The core stabilization exercise is a standard exercise for the elderly, but is considered as non-interesting and has no immediate feedback. On the other hand, active video gaming is new technology, more interesting and provides immediate feedback. Thus, the objective was to compare the effectiveness of core stabilization exercise (CSE) and active video gaming (AVG) on dynamic balance, core and lower limb muscle strength and reaction time in elderly people.Material and Methods: This study was a single-blind randomized controlled trial design; conducted from January to April, 2019. The participants were 34, healthy, elderly patients; who were randomly assigned to either the CSE group (n=17) or AVG group (n=17). All participants received a training program consisting of 60 minutes, 3 times a week, for 6 weeks. The CSE group received a core stabilization exercise program, while the AVG group received video gaming with balance control on a moveable platform (Sensamove® , the Netherlands). The participants were assessed for dynamic balance, core and lower limb muscle strength, and reaction time at pre-, two, forth, and sixth week. Results: The AVG group showed superior and significant difference to the CSE group in dynamic balance after forth (p-value=0.004; 95% confidence interval (CI), -0.94 to -0.11) and sixth week (p-value=0.001; 95% CI, -1.22 to -0.25) of training, and reaction time after forth (p-value=0.028; 95% CI, -37.89 to –0.24) and sixth week of training (p-value= 0.026; 95% CI, -72.08 to -10.13). However, within group comparison, after sixth weeks of training, the CSE group had significantly increased in core (p-value=0.020; 95% CI, 1.01 to 21.55) and lower limb muscle strength (p-value=0.008; 95% CI, -2.68 to -0.39). In addition, the AVG group had significantly increased in dynamic balance (p-value=0.001; 95% CI, -2.18 to -0.66), lower limb muscle strength (p-value=0.001; 95% CI, -2.38 to -0.66), and reaction time (p-value= 0.007; 95% CI, -120.99 to -22.64).Conclusion: Active video gaming showed better effectiveness than the core stabilization exercise in both dynamic balance and reaction time. Between before and after six weeks of training, the core stabilization exercise increased in core and lower limb muscle strength. In addition, active video gaming increased in dynamic balance, lower limb muscle strength and reaction time. So, active video gaming can be added in generic rehabilitation for improvement of muscle strength, reaction time and balance.

Introduction: The success of the karate player mainly depends on the balance and core strength. Improvement in these physical variables depends upon the type of exercise training used by the athletes. In the Indian context, there is lack of literature that supports the use of Pilates and Plyometric Training (PT) programme in training of Karate players. Therefore, to achieve success in the sport, best training method should be chosen by athletes or coaches. Aim: To compare and evaluate the effectiveness of two training programs Pilates and Plyometric on balance and core strength of National level male Karate athletes. Materials and Methods: The design of this study was experimental and sampling technique was simple random sampling. This study was conducted on a sample of 120 with 40 subjects in each group i.e., Experimental group A (Plyometric, N=40), Experimental group B (Pilates, N=40) and Control group C (N=40). The data was collected during 20th May 2018 to 10thFebruary 2020. The national level male karate players in the age group of 18 to 24 years with playing experience of five years were included in the study. The plyometric and pilates training were carried out in experimental groups for three days per week for eight weeks and no training method was implemented in the control group. Three reading were recorded, at the baseline, at the end of 4th and 8th week. Dynamic balance and core strength were the outcome measurements which were measured by modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT) and isometric core strength tests respectively. All the data was analysed by SPSS version 2.0 and the descriptive stats noted as mean±SD. ANOVA post-hoc analysis were calculated with p-value significance set at <0.05. Results: After eight weeks of intervention, both experimental groups showed significant improvement in dynamic balance and core strength comparisons between the groups. When the pre-test and post-test values of the experimental groups have been compared at the 4th week and 8th week of the study showed significant improvement (p-value <0.001) in the mSEBT and Core strength of the plyometric group compared to pilates and control group. Conclusion: The findings of the present study revealed that plyometrics and pilates both can improve balance and core strength of karate players but the PT method had more positive and statistically better effects on core strength and dynamic balance than pilates group in the view of sports performance.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a 6-week core stabilization training program (CSTP) in improving dynamic balance and back-extensor endurance of horse riders; and develop a measurement tool in assessing the dynamic postural stabilization endurance for horse riders. Twelve male horse riders (age: 23.58 ± 1.93 years; height: 165.09 ± 4.60 cm; weight: 56.53 ± 4.75 kg; experience in horse racing: 1.75 ± 0.34 years) completed 12 training sessions in 6 weeks. Subjects performed the CSTP with two progressions. CSTP started with the basic consciousness activation exercises, and then eliminated visual feedback in dynamic balance task on unstable surfaces and finished with switching the center of gravity. Moderate-to-large difference was demonstrated in the Y-Balance test scores for right leg (102.81 ± 8.32 vs 106.471 ± 4.35 cm, d = 0.55, 95% CL 0.00 to 1.08) and left leg (102.04 ± 3.20 vs 106.29 ± 3.62 cm, d = 1.25, 95% CL 0.41 to 2.05) following 6 weeks CSTP. However, trivial to small differences was reported between left and right leg in pre (d = 0.12, 95% CL − 0.49 to 0.73) and post 6-week CSTP (d = 0.04, 95% CL − 0.69 to 0.78). Biering–Sørensen test (BST) shows largely greater performance after 6-week CSTP (98.3 ± 30.1 vs 131.8 ± 19.0 s, d = 1.33, 95% CL 0.54–2.09). A novel measurement, Swiss ball four-point kneeling test was shown to be correlated with the change in BST (r = 0.633).
