“…Sekendiz et al implemented endurance, flexibility, and dynamic balance exercises to 21 sedentary women and found significant improvements in the posttest values [24]. Studies have shown that balance exercises are effective in improving the stability, proprioceptive values, and balance parameters [14,[25][26][27].…”

To analyze the effects of a special 8-week balance-training program on the static and dynamic balance values and on kayak specific balance values of female candidate athletes who are new to kayaking. Material: The study included 25 volunteer healthy young women (mean age: 14.92 ±0.39 years, mean weight: 58.47 ±11.28 kg, mean height: 165.68 ±3.84 cm, mean body fat: 27 ± 7.61%); they were randomly divided into two groups as intervention (n=15) and control (n=10). The intervention group had a special 40-minute balance training (10-min warm-up and 30-min proprioceptive exercises) 3 days a week. The control group had their traditional training scheme only (initial 10-min run for warm-up, 40-min ergometer exercise and strength training, 10-min stretching; after 1 month, 10-min warm-up, 4x10-min technical training in water with 5-min rest between sets, technical training in water for 3 km, 20-min stretching). Along with these, both groups had "technical kayak training" 2 days a week. Static and dynamic balance measurements were done with Prokin Tecnobody Isokinetic balance measurement device; kayak-specific balance measurements were done on specially designed kayak prototype and on standard race kayak (K1). Results: An improvement was found in the static and dynamic balance values of both groups as well as their kayakspecific balance values. It was found that the improvements in static and dynamic balance and especially in kayak-specific balance measured on the prototype kayak (х =17.8-82.4%) and standard race kayak (х =36.2) were significantly higher in the intervention group (p<0.05). Conclusions: It was found that the 8-week-long special balance training had positive effects on kayaking balance performance of the beginners.
