An interventional study of Suspension training and Instability training in Balance Training and Instability, sponsored by University of Valencia. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 35 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-04-05.

Most human movements are executed while in a state of postural instability. For this reason, instability training is a highly-specific method that is intended to improve balance and postural control. This research aimed to determine the effect of instability training on the balance of individuals with similar baseline abilities, who initiated training within different stability conditions. Research question: Does different type of instability training determine improvements in balance?
University of Valencia is the lead sponsor of 349 studies on the registry; 73 are open to participants now.

Training with suspension devices. 12 sessions of 40-45 min in four weeks.
Training on unstable surfaces. 12 sessions of 40-45 min in four weeks.
Y Balance Test
The Y Balance Test is a portion of the Functional Movement Systems screen used to evaluate dynamic balance and functional symmetry in order to determine a person's risk for injury or return to sport readiness. Procedure: The starting position is standing on one leg at the stance plate with the toes of the foot at the red line, and the other leg touching down lightly just behind the plate. The non-stance foot is reached out in the desired direction, pushing the reach indicator as far as they can while maintaining balance. The higher the value, the better the balance.
Time frame: 0 week

Time frame: 5 week
Emery Test
Monopodal balance on an unstable base. The time that is held with closed eyes is counted before losing balance. The longer it is held, the better the balance is considered.
Time frame: 0 week, 5 week.
Romberg Test
Bipodal balance on pressure platform. They hold on for 30 seconds with their eyes open. This test gives data on the area and speed of displacement of the center of gravity. The lower the values, the better the balance.
Time frame: 0 week, 5 week.
Sidewide Test
The participant will perform side jumps over a 25 cm wide board. The number of jumps you make will be counted. The higher the number of jumps, the agility will be considered to be better.
Time frame: 0 week, 5 week
