The Effect of Eight-Week Resistance Exercise Program on Static Balance in Sedentary Men Aged 20-40 Years

Abstract

Resistance exercises are performed in order to improve muscle strength as well as to achieve balance recovery. For this reason, the aim of the study is to examine the effect of eight-week resistance exercise program on static balance in sedentary men aged 20-40 years. Between 20- 40 years 45 sedentary male were separated exercise groups and control group. A resistance exercise program was applied for 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The first four weeks of the program is completed with 11 stations, with 3 sets/12 reps at 60% of 1 repeat maximum (RM) and 3 sets/12 reps at 70% of 1 RM in the second four weeks. A static balance test was performed on the right, left and double legs before and after 8 weeks. When the values of balance test and strength test were compared before and after training, there was a significant difference in EG in all parameters (p<0.05). A significant difference was found in the comparison of the balance test between the groups in favor of right leg and double leg EG (p<0.05). There is a significant difference in the strength test between the groups in favor of EG. As a result, it is possible to say that resistance exercise program applied for 8 weeks has a positive effect on static balance and strength.
