지지면 안정성 수준에 따른 균형 운동이 하지 근육과 동적 균형 능력에 미치는 영향
Effects of Balance Exercise according to Support Surface Stability Level on Lower-Limb Muscles and Dynamic Balance Ability
This study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of a single balance exercise session on medial gastrocnemius thickness, plantar flexor strength, and dynamic balance performance according to the stability of the support surface in healthy adults. Thirty-four participants were randomly assigned to either the stable surface group (n=17) or the unstable surface group (n=17). They underwent pre- and post-intervention assessments, including ultrasound measurement of gastrocnemius thickness, handheld dynamometer testing of plantar flexor strength, and the Y-Balance Test for dynamic balance. A 2×2 mixed analysis of variance was conducted to examine group and time effects. The results indicated significant improvements in the gastrocnemius thickness, plantar flexor strength, and dynamic balance immediately after the intervention in both groups (p<.05). However, no significant group differences or group×time interaction effects were observed. These findings demonstrate that immediate changes occurred following a single session of balance exercise, which can be interpreted as short-term responses that appear immediately after performing the exercise. Therefore, future studies should involve diverse age groups and clinical populations to identify long-term adaptations and the potential effects of surface stability.
