Özet
Aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of proprioceptive exercises on static and dynamic balance in professional athletes. Material and Method: The study was designed with a matched-group using a pre-post design. Twenty professional male athletes (mean age: 20.55 +/- 3.55 years, Body Mass Index: 22.45 +/- 1.46 kg/m2) participated in the study. Proprioceptive exercises were performed 3 days per week with a physiotherapist and at home on the remaining days for the 6-week training period. After obtaining demographic information, static and dynamic balance parameters were evaluated using the Korebalance (TM) balance assessment equipment Static and dynamic balance evaluation was performed while they were in the positions of eyes open, double/ single-leg stance, and hands on-off; in addition, for static balance in the positions with closed eyes. Results: Comparing balance parameters before and after proprioceptive exercise training, a statistically significant difference was found in all static balance parameters (p<0.05). In addition, a statistically significant difference was found in the dynamic balance parameters in a double-leg stance position (p<0.05), whereas no statistically significant difference was found in the dynamic balance parameters in a single-leg stance position (p>0.05). Discussion: The research results showed that proprioceptive exercises effectively improved static and dynamic balance in professional athletes. Thus, due to the integration of balance and the proprioceptive system, exercises will positively contribute to athletes' postural control capabilities by improving their balance performance. But, there was no effect on dynamic balance in one-leg stance position, so it would be beneficial to include in the training program exercises, which increase the dynamic balance in one-leg stance position.
