Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to the effect of six weeks' core training on static and dynamic balance in boy athletes with ankle sprine. In this study, 20 boy athletes with ankle sprain were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups of 10 homogeneous groups. In order to evaluate the static and dynamic balance, stork test and Y-test were used before and after the exercise program. The experimental group then performed core muscle training for six weeks (three sessions per week). To analyze the data, independent and paired t-test was used to examine the difference between groups and within the group. The results of the study showed that there is a significant difference between the static and dynamic balance in the experimental group after applying the training program. While no differences were observed in the control group. The results showed that performing six weeks of core muscle training in the central area of the body improves the static and dynamic balance of the boy athlets with ankle sprain. According to the results of this study, it is recommended that in the rehabilitation program of this group, exercises of core muscles of of the body, along with other exercises, should be used.
