Can unpredictable balance drills make tennis players faster and more stable?
NCT ID NCT07590674
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether reactive balance training—using unpredictable movements that force quick corrections—improves dynamic stability and agility more than standard balance exercises in competitive tennis players aged 18-25. Sixty-four participants will be split into two groups and train for six weeks. Researchers will measure balance with the Y-Balance Test and agility with the 505 Agility Test before and after training to see which approach works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Reactive balance training (unpredictable perturbation-based exercises) versus conventional balance training (static and controlled exercises)
What this could lead to
If reactive balance training proves more effective, it could give tennis coaches a better way to improve players' balance and agility, potentially reducing injury risk and enhancing performance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. The training is non-drug, so risks are low, but the benefit over conventional training may be small or nonexistent.
