Abstract
The aim of this research was to examine the effects of specific balance training on stability level of young basketball players (n=14; chronological age 14-15 years). Testing and SBT program was conducted during the competition season for young basketball players. For the purposes of this research, i.e. the assessment of stability level (Biodex Balance System), three variables were used in order to determine neuromuscular ability of maintaining dynamic bilateral and unilateral postural stability on a static and unstable surface. Difference between two measuring points and their correlation before and after the SBT program implementation was analysed by univariate parametric test determining differences – student t-test for dependable samples. Differences between initial and final status (sig.=.01 and .05) indicate that SBT program including specific content, training aids, load intensity and extensity, total volume, organisation and training method have effectively contributed to the stability level of young basketball players.
