Task-specific effects of whole-body coordination balance training "slackline"

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal whether a whole-body coordination balance training "slackline" has task-specific effects or generalizability/transferability of adaptations to other tasks. As a first step, the current pilot study investigated its task-specific effect with a few data. Once-a-week training partially improved a task-specific balance ability of participants. We discuss its limited effects and individual differences on the improvement of balance ability and slacklining performance.
