Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a central body stability training program on height control, static balance and dynamic tennis players. The statistical population of this study was men's tennis court volunteers aged 20 to 34 years in Tehran who were divided into two groups of 15 experimental and the control group by simple random sampling. The training program consisted of five semi-long and sitting exercises, lying and sitting with rotation, side bridge, back bridge and four stages of lower abdominal strengthening exercises. After collecting the pre-test information, the subjects in the experimental group performed central stabilization muscle exercises for six weeks. Y test, star test and Sharpand Romberg balance test with open eyes were used to measure height control, dynamic balance and static balance, respectively. To study the significance of intra - group and inter - group in pre - test and post - test, paired and independent t - test were used, respectively. The results showed that there is a significant increase in the means of achievement distance in the Y equilibrium test for all directions. The results also showed a significant increase in static and dynamic balance values after central stability exercises in the experimental group compared to the control group. It can be concluded that central body stability exercises can be used to increase the balance of tennis players.
