Abstract

Step-aerobic training (SAT) has been effective exercise pattern on balance. Very few studies focused on female badminton players. Objective: was to compare the effects of SAT on balance in female badminton players. Methods: twenty female participants were divided into the experimental group (EG), practiced a step aerobics tempo using a speed controller at a speed range of 125-140 beats per minute (bpm) and height of 4, 6, and 8 inches practice for 30 minutes 3 days a week, together with the 8 week badminton training program (n=10, age: 16.70±1.15 years; body weight = 54.19±2.86 kg; body height = 164.10±3.66 cm; fat = 23.32±2.07 percent; muscle mass = 41.47±2.24 kg). The control group (CG) performs the badminton program training. (n = 10, age: 16.60±1.17 years; body weight = 53.98±3.09 kg; body height = 164.20±3.32 cm; fat = 23.52±2.36 percent; muscle mass  Conclusion: the SAT at 6 - 8 inches in height using 125 - 140 bpm has a beneficial effect on balance, which allows athletes to be more efficient in moving quickly in a short training period without losing balance.
