Abstract
This experimental study aimed to study the effects of additional co-contraction training during standing on one leg, applied from star excursion pattern, in male badminton players aged between 18-25 years. Twenty four subjects were divided into two groups, control and experimental groups. The Overall Stability Index (OSI), result of Balance in every direction, Anterior/Posterior Index (API) and Medial/Lateral Index (MLI) were measured by using Biodex Balance System (Bio Sway). Pre and post training, three times a week for 6 weeks, were measured all parameters. Mean and standard deviation were compared between pre and post training with Dependent t-test (repeated measure), and between groups with Independent t-test. The statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results were found that balance performance was better and this method can improve balance performance in athletes: The experimental group showed significantly decrease of stability index, additionally, decreased significantly more than that in control group in all of stability index.
Conclusion: The additional co-contraction training, applied from star excursion pattern, in male badminton players, three times a week for 6 weeks, could enhance balance performance at all directions.
