Wobble board has shown effective results on decreasing the risk of falls and injuries Aim: To determine the effectiveness of wobble board exercises on star excursion balance test in athletes. Method: The study was a single group pre-post experimental design in which 32 athletes were included. The star excursion balance test was measured before and after the protocol. Wobble board training was given to the athletes for a period of 3 weeks with 3 sessions per week on alternate days. Results: The results showed significant increase in the reach distances of SEBT scores at p<0.001. Conclusion: The present experimental study concluded that the three week wobble board training was effective in increasing dynamic balance in all 8 directions of the SEBT scores.
