Abstract: This study aims to compare different dynamic balance ability between soccer players and sedentary. Sixteen soccer players and 18 sedentary participated in the study. Soccer players group participated soccer trainings consisting of different coordinative exercises for 3 years; the sedentary group attended a normal school program. Soccer players’ mean height was 157.81±6.63 cm, mean weight was 44.06±6.81 kg and sedentary mean height was 154.91±7.45 cm, mean weight was 43.46±7.03 kg. Informed consent form signed by the entire participant, their parents and the trainer prior to the study as required by the Helsinki declaration. Dynamic balance ability with Prokin, Y balance and Flamingo balance tests were used. Factorial ANOVA and independent samples t test was used for analyzing the results. For dynamic balance ability; bipedal perimeter length (p=0.019), area gap percentage (p=0.019) and medium speed (p=0.032); right foot perimeter length (p=0.03) and medium speed (p=0.03) values; and for Y balance; right anterior (p=0.001), left anterior (p=0.001), right posteriolateral (p=0.001), left posteriolateral (p=0.008) measurements and also for flamingo balance test both on right-left foot and eyes open-closed results (p≤0.001) are significantly different in favor of soccer players. There were no significant difference for dynamic balance bipedal-right-left forward backward axis and medium lateral axis, right foot area gap percentage, left foot perimeter length, area gap percentage and medium speed and for y balance; right-left foot posteriomedial measurements. The dynamic balance ability of soccer players was clearly different than that of sedentary. According to these results it can be concluded that the effect of extensive soccer skill practice on overall balance control.

Abstract: The researches which investigated the effects of core training on skill performance for badminton players are in sufficient. The current study aimed to examine the effects of core stability training on dynamic balance and smash stroke velocity and accuracy performance. Twenty badminton players under 19 years were divided into two groups, core training group (n = 10) and control group (n = 10). Core stability training group completed 8 weeks training programme, while control group did only their badminton traditional training. The effectiveness of core stability training intervention was assessed by performing core stability tests with four positions, dynamic balance test and forehand smash stroke performance test. Significant improvement was obtained only in the training group for core muscle endurance, total reached distance of three directions in star excursion balance test and smashing velocity and accuracy variables (p < 0.05). Consequently, eight weeks core stability training provides an improvement for maintained optimum lower limbs dynamic balance and increased the performance level of smash stroke in young badminton players.
