Abstract
[Purpose] In this study, in order to determine the factors affecting the balance of sports players and ordinary subjects, we investigated the effects of dynamic transient skill training, using a rope, on eyes closed one leg standing time, and rope-walking distance and time. [Subjects] The subjects were 7 elite male ice hockey players, average age 21.3 years, and 9 ordinary male subjects, average age 24.7 years. [Method] The subjects practiced walking along a rope, and we measured eyes closed one leg standing time, and rope-walking distance and time before and after the training. To compare rope-walking distance and eyes closed one leg standing time, we used Student’s t-test for within group comparisons, and Welch’s t-test for between group comparisons. [Results] After the training, the ice hockey players’ left leg eyes closed standing time, and rope-walking distance and time significantly increased, and the ordinary subjects’ rope-walking distance and time very significantly increased. [Conclusion] We plan to develop a safe and effective balance training program.
