Summary

This study aims to examine the effects of slackline training on core strength, physical performance, and balance in healthy young adults. A total of 40 participants were randomly assigned to either a slackline training group or a control group. The training group completed supervised slackline sessions three times per week for six weeks. Various physical and balance tests were performed before and after the intervention. The results showed that slackline training improved core stability, physical performance, and dynamic balance. These findings suggest that slackline exercises may be a useful method to enhance physical function in young adults.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Slackline Training

This intervention consisted of a six-week supervised slackline training program designed to improve core stability, physical performance, and dynamic balance. Participants in the intervention group performed 18 sessions (3 sessions per week, 45 minutes each) using a Gibbon-brand slackline (12.5 meters in length, 50 mm wide). The training protocol included a structured progression of 11 exercises, ranging from assisted standing to unassisted long walks and dynamic movements on the slackline. All sessions were conducted under the supervision of a licensed physiotherapist to ensure participant safety and training fidelity. Exercises were adapted weekly to increase difficulty, challenge motor control, and stimulate neuromuscular adaptation.
