Abstract
Introduction
Balance is one of the basic factors of sports and proper balance increases the efficiency of athletes. The aim of this study was to compare the balance of beach with indoor volleyball athletes.
Materials and Methods
The present study is a quasi-experimental study. For this purpose and according to the research criteria, a total of 100 male professional athletes were selected as the research sample, and in two groups of indoor volleyball (n = 50) with body mass index (20.51+2.45), age (16.02=1.42), training history (5.42–1.26) and beach volleyball (n = 50) with body mass index (20.51–1.80). Age (15.86+1.52), training history (5.161.31). Y test was used to evaluate the balance. Data analysis was performed by SPSS 24 software at the significant level of "P=0.05."
Findings
The results of the research showed that there is a significant difference between the average value of the dynamic balance variable between the two beach volleyball and indoor volleyball groups, and beach volleyball has obtained better scores in the balance test. "P=0.01"
Conclusion
The balance of beach volleyball players in this research was much better than the balance of indoor volleyball players. Therefore, coaches of different sports can perform some exercises on object surfaces to improve the balance of their athletes. Also, coaches can use these levels for pre-season training where athletes need more preparation to continue competing.
