Abstract
Background: Balance is a complex process that involves the reception and integration of sensory inputs, followed by the planning and execution of movement to achieve upright posture (1). the absence of visual perceptions will have a detrimental effect on both standing static balance and dynamic balance.It appears that balance is the main difficulty for goalball practitioners (2).
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the levels of selected static and dynamic balance indices in visually impaired goalball players.
Methods: Participants included 10 Iranian goalball players with visual impairments (10 male B1, B2, B3), (mean age₌ 17 ± 0.81 years), (mean BMI₌ 21.93 ± 2.27) Static balance was assessed using Y test, dynamic with Balance Error Scoring System (BESS).
Result: Goalball player completed the YBT test in one session. Descriptive statistical analysis (mean, standard deviation, 95% confidence interval) was used to compute the YBT reference values. In the right posteromedial (92.50) direction of the YBT, the samples showed better performance in terms of only the average performance of both legs. The YBT composite score also showed better performance of the right leg (95.36 ± 6.86) than of the left leg(94.31 ± 8.15), when the values of the average performance of both the legs were compared. The mean BESS score in this sample (4.6 ± 2.45) is higher than the mean BESS scores reported for High school(16.1± 61.4) populations. There was no correlation between the BESS firm surface, BESS foam surface, or total surface scores (4.6 ± 2.45).
Conclusion: Balance is a fundamental competence in goalball athletes, which makes its develop-ment essential in training programs(3). evaluate the balance tests associated with each section and result in assessing accurately and comprehensively valid and accurate tests by the instructors or coaches, guide to an appropriate training program, and ultimately better offer exercise designs for individuals suffering from goalball players.
