description | PURPOSE: The Balance Tracking System’s Target Tracking Training protocol requires an individual to keep an onscreen dot within a moving target circle via leaning movements that are sensed by a Balance Tracking System’s balance plate. The present study sought to determine for the first time if short duration at-home training using Balance Tracking System’s Target Tracking Training could improve dynamic balance. METHODS: Fifteen healthy young adults (mean age = 22.4 years) performed Balance Tracking System’s Target Tracking Training for six weeks at home, with an average of five, three-minute sessions per week. The first three weeks of Balance Tracking System’s Target Tracking Training were completed on the firm surface of a Balance Tracking Systems Balance Plate, while the final three weeks were performed on a foam cushion on top of the plate. This was followed by a three-week retention period where participants performed no training. Dynamic balance changes were assessed at multiple timepoints with the Balance Tracking System’s Limits of Stability protocol. RESULTS: Participants significantly improved Balance Tracking System’s Target Tracking Training from the first to last day of training in both three-week periods (p<0.01). This increase was mirrored by improved Balance Tracking System’s Limits of Stability results. Specifically, Balance Tracking System’s Limits of Stability area (ie dynamic balance) increased significantly from Baseline to the end of the first three weeks of training (p<0.001), and again after the second three weeks (p<0.01). These gains were maintained following the retention period. CONCLUSION: The present findings support use of short duration Balance Tracking System’s Target Tracking Training to improve dynamic balance at home. This increase in dynamic balance could ultimately be used a practical means of improving athletic performance. |
