Brief summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of different balance training programs (dynamic, static, combined dynamic and static) on the stability, jumping skills, and gymnastic movement skills of female university students who are beginners in gymnastics. Participants will be randomly divided into four groups: the first group will receive dynamic balance training (including exercises that maintain balance during movement); the second group will receive static balance training (including exercises that hold a fixed posture); the third group will receive combined dynamic and static balance training (including both static and dynamic balance exercises); and the fourth group will serve as a control group without additional balance training (or receive regular physical education classes as a control). The main outcomes to be measured before and after the training period are the participants' performance in specific stability tests, jumping tasks, and gymnastic movement skill assessments. The goal is to determine which balance training method (dynamic, static, or combined training) is most effective in improving the fundamental movement skills (including gymnastics-specific abilities) of gymnastics beginners.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALbalance group

An 8-week supervised training program conducted 2 times per week. Each 15-30 minute session comprises a combination of static balance exercises , dynamic balance exercises and Combining training. The intensity and difficulty of the exercises will be progressively increased throughout the intervention period.
