About

Non-specific training through the use of devices in which the subject can be suspended is a technique that has aroused a growing interest in recent years. One of its advantages may be to enhance the balance, since it induces a high level of neuromuscular stimulation. Indeed, a suspension training suppose a high demand of the core musculature, require a high degree of postural control, precise response strategies , anticipatory capacity and muscular conditioning. However, current literature targeting healthy young adults and appraising the specifics effects of suspension training on balance is scarce or non-existent to the best of our knowledge. For this reason this interventional study will primarily assess the effects of suspension training on different balance components.
