About

This study aims to examine the effects of slackline training on core strength, physical performance, and balance in healthy young adults. A total of 40 participants were randomly assigned to either a slackline training group or a control group. The training group completed supervised slackline sessions three times per week for six weeks. Various physical and balance tests were performed before and after the intervention. The results showed that slackline training improved core stability, physical performance, and dynamic balance. These findings suggest that slackline exercises may be a useful method to enhance physical function in young adults.
