Abstract
Introduction: In general, balance is considered an important component of sports activities that, in addition to improving motor control and sports performance, can play a role in reducing the incidence of injuries. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of the Stop-x training program on static and dynamic balance among female basketball players with dynamic knee valgus.
Materials and methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental. The samples of this research included 30 female basketball players with dynamic knee valgus who were first screened by the Single-Leg Landing Test (SLL), then they were randomly divided into two control (n=15) and experimental (n=15) groups. Static balance was evaluated with the BASS STICK test and dynamic balance was evaluated with the Y balance test. As a warm-up program, the experimental group performed the Stop-x program for 25-40 minutes for eight weeks (three times per week), and the control group did their traditional warm-up program. Data analysis was done by statistical analysis of ANCOVA and Paired-Samples T-Test with SPSS version 26.
Results: The results showed that with the use of the Stop-x program, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the static balance (η2=0.47, P=0.001), and total dynamic balance scores (η2 = 0.74, P = 0.001). So that the experimental group performed better performance compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Applying the Stop-x injury prevention training program can improve static and dynamic balance scores in female basketball players with dynamic knee valgus and may prevent lower limb injuries by increasing balance. Therefore, it can be recommended for sports trainers to benefit from the advantages by substituting Stop-x training instead of traditional warm-up.
