Training on Unstable Surfaces and Effects on the Balance of Healthy Young People

Training on Unstable Surfaces and Effects on the Balance of Healthy Young People, a Randomized Clinical Trial

The objective of this study is to determine the effects on balance and postural control produced by the implementation of a training program that includes work with unstable surfaces in its methods. It also seeks to quantify to what extent the benefits exceed those achieved with a training of similar characteristics, but implemented on a stable surface. An intensive program is proposed, whose target population is young adults.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy young adults aged between 18 and 30

Exclusion Criteria:

• Professional athlete
• Musculoskeletal injury in the last 12 months (i.e. sprain, bone fracture)
• Known balance disorders including vertigo, central or vestibular limitations
