Abstract
Badminton is a very challenging sport which demands high intensity, swift, precise and continuous movements that require a high level of dynamic balance and muscular endurance. Standing Pilates is a form of training developed to improve core strength, balance and endurance. Thirty badminton players between 18-25 years were included and divided into two groups. Experimental group (Group A) received standing Pilates and conventional training whereas control group (Group B) was given only conventional training. All players were assessed for dynamic balance and lower limb muscular endurance with Star Excursion Balance Test and Squat Test respectively. Student t-test was used in the analysis of the data collected for all variables at the beginning and at the end of 4 weeks. Comparing post SEBT and squat test values of Group A and Group B showed that standing Pilates has signicant effect on dynamic balance and lower limb muscular endurance in badminton players
