Context: It has been theorized that aquatic balance training differs from land balance
training. Objective: To compare the effects of balance training in aquatic and
land environments. Design: Between-groups, repeated-measures design. Setting:
Biomechanics laboratory and pool. Participants: 24 healthy subjects randomly
assigned to aquatic (n = 8), land (n = 10), or control (n = 6) groups. Intervention:
Four weeks of balance training. Main Outcome Measures: Balance was measured
(pre, mid, post, follow-up). COP variables: radial area, y range, x range in single
leg (SL), tandem (T), single leg foam (SLF), and tandem form (TF) stance. Results:
A significant condition …
