Description

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the standing-on-single-leg time with closed eyes changes in people who declined the time when they train to stand on single leg with their eyes closed. Methods: The subjects were 20 healthy females for ≤ 40 seconds the standing on single leg time with eyes closed among the 40 subjects. On physical examination, height, weight, single-leg standing time with eyes open and closed, pressure strength of the toes, plantar 2-point discrimination, and leg power were assessed. We performed a pre-test to determine the maximum duration that subjects were able to standing on single leg (right and left legs) with eyes closed. The leg that remained suspended for a longer duration was termed as the non-training leg, whereas the other leg was termed as the training leg. The subjects' training consisted of standing on single leg, using the training leg with eyes closed, for 120 seconds. The subjects performed these tasks 3 times daily, 3 times per week for 3 weeks. All subjects were post-tested using the exact same procedure after 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. Results: The results revealed that both training and non-training legs showed significant increases in one-leg standing time after the intervention. However the changes in one-leg standing time were significantly greater in the training legs. The training effect was maintained 3-6 months after the end of the assessment The rest of the variables did not differ significantly. Conclusions: The 3-week single-leg standing training period had a positive effect on performance in young healthy subjects.
