The aim of this study was to determine the effects of TRX suspension applications on lower body muscle strength and balance skills in sedentary individuals.
Materials and Methods: The study included 60 sedentary individuals aged 30-45, divided into two groups: Suspension Strength Group (SSG) and Traditional Strength Group (TSG). Both groups performed 45 minutes of exercise, two days a week, for 8 weeks. Anthropometric measurements, grip strength, push-up, squat, sit-up, plank, and balance tests were taken before and after the exercise protocol.
Results: Significant improvements were found in SSG compared to TSG. SSG showed improvement in all tested parameters, while TSG showed improvement in certain parameters. Differences were observed in push-up, squat, sit-up, and plank performances.
Conclusion: Strength training on moving surfaces (TRX) resulted in greater improvement than traditional strength training. Suspension exercises may offer an alternative model for strength development.
