Abstract
This study examined the effect of a 5-min cooling down following a high-intense treadmill running on dynamic balance in college students. Eighteen college students (9 males and 9 females) underwent two sessions of an intense and exhaustive treadmill running with and without a passive cooling down followed by Y-balance tests. Analysis of variance with repeated measures showed a significant gender by treatment by time interaction(FSUB(1,2,16)/SUB = 97.309, p .001). Males had a significantly higher 10-min post-exercise recovery Y-balance test with a 5-min cool-down compared to without a 5-min cool-down. Females had significantly higher scores in the 5-min, 10-min, and 30-min post-exercise recovery Y-balance tests with a 5-min cool-down compared to without a 5-min cool-down. The current findings of the study suggest that cooling down plays a critical role in recovering post-exercise dynamic balance, especially in females.
