Abstract

Background: Dynamic balance is essential when performing activities that require rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration, and rapid changes in direction, such as basketball. This allows athletes to adjust their posture and footing quickly during high-intensity activities, reducing the risk of injury. The objective of our study is to  determine the correlation between dynamic balance and female basketball players' jump performance, sprints, and agility abilities. Methods: The dynamic balance of 14 female basketball players in Saudi Arabia, ages 18 to 23, was measured using the modified star excursion balance test (mSEBT). Jump performance, sprints, and agility skills were assessed using five tests: a vertical jump test (VJT), a standing board jump test (SBJT), a ten-meter sprint test (10mST), and a T-Agility test.  Result: Dynamic balance was positively correlated with vertical jump, broad jump, and negatively correlated with the 10-m sprint and T-agility tests. Conclusion: Dynamic balance is a significant factor affecting performance in specific tests. This emphasizes the importance of incorporating dynamic balance exercises into training programs for basketball players.Arabia.
