The effect of functional fitness training on the balance ability of students specializing in the high jump

Abstract

This study delves into how targeted exercise regimes can bolster static and dynamic balancing capabilities by exploring the nexus between functional physical training and balance proficiency in high jump athletes. Through rigorous evaluation of 80 students using the entropy weight-TOPSIS method, our four-month investigation revealed marked enhancements in balance. Notably, static balance improved by 8-10%, while dynamic balance saw a 12-15% uptick, emphasizing the efficacy of functional training in optimizing athletic performance and mitigating injury risks. The control group’s unchanged balance further underscores the specific benefits of our training regimen.
