Abstract

: Both Sides Utilized it is one of the most employed global instability devices (GID), but it is difficult to progress and select a particular foot structure. In this sense, the Blackboard has been created as selective instability device (SID). The aim of this study is to compare the effects of both devices on balance and ankle stability. : The study was designed as a randomized controlled clinical trial. Twenty healthy amateur soccer players were divided into two groups: GID and SID. Both performed balance training (4-weeks, 3 days/week). Ankle balance and stability were assessed. Paired -tests were used to analyze the pre-, post-, and between-groups differences. : No differences were found between the groups. Significant intra-group changes were found in both groups for posterolateral balance and summation. Moreover, posteromedial balance increased in the GID group. No changes were found in ankle stability results. : A balance intervention using GID or SID is effective in improving general and posterolateral balance. Moreover, the GID intervention improved posteromedial balance.
