Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to determine the effects on balance and postural control produced by the implementation of a training program that includes work with unstable surfaces in its methods. It also seeks to quantify to what extent the benefits exceed those achieved with a training of similar characteristics, but implemented on a stable surface. An intensive program is proposed, whose target population is young adults.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Healthy young adults aged between 18 and 30
Exclusion Criteria
- •Professional athlete
- •Musculoskeletal injury in the last 12 months (i.e. sprain, bone fracture)
- •Known balance disorders including vertigo, central or vestibular limitations
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Y-balance test
Time Frame: change from baseline to end of intervention (4weeks)
Dynamic balance. The maximum length in cm achieved for each leg in the anterior, posterior-lateral and medial-lateral positions will be recorded.
Secondary Outcomes
- Posturography (1)(change from baseline to end of intervention (4weeks))
- Emery test(change from baseline to end of intervention (4weeks))
- Functional reach(change from baseline to end of intervention (4weeks))
- Posturography (2)(change from baseline to end of intervention (4weeks))
