| Summary: | Introduction: Balance is the ability to maintain upright and in a position of
equilibrium. balance consist of two types which are static balance and dynamic
balance. static balance is balance maintained while standing without moving as
measured by the balance error scoring system (BESS) test. While dynamic balance is
balance maintained while performing as measure by the star excursion balance test
(SEBT). Balancing is very important component for gymnast athlete to perform well
in competition. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the
effectiveness of cryotherapy on static and dynamic balance among gymnast athletes.
Methodology: There were 30 subjects were participated in this study, which are
consist of male and female gymnast athletes. All the athletes were range age among
13 to 17 years old. The subjects were equally divided into two groups; ice group
(n=15) and without ice group (n=15). The dependent variable in this study was
Balance Error Scoring test on a firm surface, Balance Error Scoring System on foam
surface and Star Execution Balance Test. Result: Based on One Way repeated
measured, the result showed that the mean and standard deviation of pre test and post
test on a firm surface for no ice group (M=4. 15,SD=O.95) to (M=4.11,SD=5.08).
The mean and standard deviation for ice group (M=4.58,SD=O.79) to
(M=5.08,SD=0.80). There was a significant difference of cryotherapy from pre test
and post test between groups (p<0.05). While the result mean and standard deviation
of pre test and post test on foam surface for no ice group (M=4.11,SD=0.94) to
(M=4.03,SD=O.91). The mean and standard deviation for ice group
vi
(M=4.46,SD=O.77) to (M=5.01,SD=O.89). There was a significant difference of
cryotherapy from pre test to post test between groups (p<O.05). Then, the mean score
for pre test and post test of dynamic balance test for no ice group
(M=595.87,SD=42.85) to (M=587.07,SD=44.65). The mean score for ice group
(M=602.80,SD=38.82) to (M=694.47,SD=42.96). There was a significant difference
of cryotherapy from pre test to post test between groups (p<O.05). Conclusion: As a
conclusion, application of cryotherapy has an impact on balancing performance
among gymnast athlete. |
