Abstract
The research aimed to design an exercises program with Swiss ball and recognize its effect on static and dynamic balance in inter university basketball players. The researcher utilized the experimental method on a sample of (24) female basketball players (mean ± SD: age 21.79 ± 1.72 years, height 1.64 ± 0.034 m, body mass 61.208 ± 3.476 kg). The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Directorate of Sport in Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, India. All participants were informed about the study aim and methodology as well as about the possibility of immediate acceptance at any time of the experimentation. Subjects agreed to the above conditions in writing. They were randomly assigned into two groups: A (Training Group) and B (Control Group), n = 12 each. The training group were subjected to 6 - weeks of swiss ball exercises program. This training program lasted 6 - weeks and consisted of daily sessions, lasting 45 min each. The subjects completed the stork stand and wobble board tests to determine static and dynamic balance on the leg respectively. The training group significantly improved static and dynamic balance compared to the control. The swiss ball exercises program may be recommended to improve static and dynamic balance and may contribute to enhance concentration based performance.
