Effect of Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise on Static and Dynamic Balance in Physiotherapy Students
The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the effects of aerobic and anaerobic exercise on static and dynamic balance in healthy physiotherapy students. 30 subjects were selected and were divided into two groups (n= 15). Their pre balance assessment was done by stork standing balance test and modified BASS test for static and dynamic balance. After completion of the initial balance measurement, group-A subjects were given aerobic exercise which included 15 minutes of Modified Bruce protocol and group-B subjects were given 3 forms of aerobic exercises for 2 weeks alternate days. Post exercise balance assessment was done on day 15 which showed significant changes in the pre and post exercise balance scores. Thus, this study concludes that both aerobic and anaerobic exercise showed statistically significant improvement in the static and dynamic balance.
