Summary

This trial compares unstable resistance training (exercises on unstable surfaces like balance pads) with traditional resistance training in male college basketball players. The goal is to see if the unstable version improves dynamic balance and the ability to quickly change direction. Participants will train for 12 weeks, and their balance and agility will be measured before and after. The study aims to find better ways to enhance athletic performance and potentially reduce injury risk.
