Abstract
Several new training devices and methods have been introduced into sporting practice for several years, with elements of preventive contra-action. They include unstable pads and balance aids that were originally used exclusively for rehabilitation.
Their use has been dramatically expanding over the last decade, and are currently commonly used to improve the activation of the deep stabilization system (HSS) and postural stability in the sports population. While the effectiveness of unstable platforms and balance aids is proven in recreational sporting populations, the effects of sporting athletes are contradictory.
The aim of the study was to compare the impact of different HSS-based training methods on extra-league futsal players.
