Abstract
In our work we sought to verify the affecting the efficiency of a Strength programme of exercise on unstable surfaces for stimulation of strength endurance abilities, compared to a similar didactic programme conducted on stable surfaces. The proband sample was selected from the population of college and Prague recreational and active sportsmen (whose movement activity was not focused directly on stimulation of strength abilities).
The sample was made up of men aged 20 to 35 (n = 75). The proband were randomly assigned to three groups (Experimental Group I - unstable surfaces, Experimental Group II - stable surfaces, Control Group III - without programme.
The movement programme lasted 10 weeks and contained 22 exercise units (on stable or unstable surfaces). When evaluating the overall results of the tests before and after the experimental programme, we come to be of the opinion that the experimental programme manifested itself positively in effectiveness of stimulating strength abilities.
The strength programme had an influence on increasing the persistence of strength in dynamic and static regimens. In the case of a strengthening programme on unstable surfaces there was a tendency towards greater growth in the number of repetitions as opposed to programme on a stable base at the beginning of the programme in the case of exercise in a dynamic regimen.
