Effects on Balance of Suspension Exercise vs. Exercise on Unstable Surfaces

Effects on Balance in the Young Adult of Suspension Exercise vs. Exercise on Unstable Surfaces: a Quasi-randomized Clinical Trial

Most human movements are executed while in a state of postural instability. For this reason, instability training is a highly-specific method that is intended to improve balance and postural control. This research aimed to determine the effect of instability training on the balance of individuals with similar baseline abilities, who initiated training within different stability conditions. Research question: Does different type of instability training determine improvements in balance?
