About this trial
The study aims to examine the acute effects of balance exercises on balance performance in healthy individuals. It will be conducted with healthy males and females aged 18-25.
The research is an experimental study with a single-blind pre-test/post-test design. Initially, participants' balance will be assessed using the Single Leg Stance Test. Then, a short balance exercise program lasting 8-10 minutes will be applied. Exercises include single-leg stance, eyes-closed balance, and unstable surface training. After the exercise, the same test will be repeated to evaluate changes. Perceived exertion will be measured using the Modified Borg Scale.
The collected data will be analyzed using SPSS software. The results are expected to contribute to improving balance, performance, and reducing injury risk.

Primary outcomes

Y-Balance Test Performance
Measured using the Y-Balance Test (anterior, posteromedial, posterolateral directions) Y Balance Test It is a simple and effective test used to evaluate dynamic balance. The participant is asked to stand on one leg and reach as far as possible in three directions (anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial) with the non-stance leg. The test is performed in the following order: anterior right, anterior left, posteromedial right, posteromedial left, posterolateral right, and posterolateral left.
Time frame
Single assesment at baseline2
Maximum Inspiratory Pressure
Maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) is a measure of the strength of the inspiratory muscles and represents the negative pressure generated when an individual inhales as forcefully as possible after a full exhalation.
Time frame
Single assesment at baseline3
Maximum expiratory pressure
Measures the strength of expiratory muscles and is the positive pressure generated during forceful exhalation after a deep breath. It is assessed using a mouth pressure meter (MPM) in a seated position with a nose clip, taking the best of at least three trials.

The plank test
The plank test evaluates the endurance of deep core muscles (transversus abdominis, multifidus); the individual maintains a prone position supported on the elbows and toes, keeping the body in a straight line, and the duration the position can be held is recorded.
Time frame
Single assesment at baseline2
Dyspnea Level
Measured using Modified Borg Scale It is a scale commonly used to assess the severity of exertional and resting dyspnea. It consists of ten levels that define the intensity of dyspnea. The clear description of dyspnea severity in the Modified Borg Scale makes it easier to use for patients.
Time frame
Single assesment at baseline3
Blood pressure
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood on arterial walls, with a normal value of 120/80 mmHg. It will be measured using an Omron RS1 wrist blood pressure monitor. The systolic and diastolic pressures will be assessed.
Time frame
Single assesment at baseline4
The lateral bridge (side bridge) test
Lateral Bridge Test measures the endurance of the oblique and lateral trunk stabilizer muscles; the individual lifts the body in a side-lying position supported on the elbow and the side of the foot, keeping it in a straight line, and the duration the position can be maintained is recorded.
