INFLUENCES OF BALANCE TRAINING ON MOTOR COORDINATION IN AEROBICS STUDENTS

INFLUÊNCIAS DO TREINAMENTO DO EQUILÍBRIO NA COORDENAÇÃO MOTORA DOS ESTUDANTES DE AERÓBICA

INFLUENCIA DEL ENTRENAMIENTO DEL EQUILIBRIO EN LA COORDINACIÓN MOTORA DE ESTUDIANTES DE AERÓBIC

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The standardization of body movements is essential for aerobics gymnastic practitioners and motor coordination for the execution of consecutive movements of large amplitudes is strongly related to balance ability. Therefore, it is believed that balance training can positively impact motor coordination in aerobics students

Objective:

Explore the influences of balance training on motor coordination in aerobics students.

Methods:

100 volunteers were selected as aerobics students, divided into an experimental and a control group for a 6-week experiment. The experimental group was given a balance training protocol, while the control group maintained the traditional teaching protocol. Data on functional exercises and fitness indices were collected before and after the experiment for comparison and analysis.

Results:

The difference in the exercise in the unipodal orthostatic position with eyes closed was 6.45, the difference in the balance test in the swallow position was 4.04, the difference in the later-forward Y balance exercise was 1.88, the later-posterior was 2.09, and posterior Y balance was 2.53. The difference between all items in the control group was small, especially the three items of frontal, lateral, posterior, and mid-posterior Y balance.

Conclusion:

Balance training positively affected the motor coordination of aerobics students, resulting in a statistically significant increase in all analyzed postural balance indexes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
