This study compared the acute and chronic effects of balance training on an unstable support surface with and without gastrocnemius static self-stretching on static and dynamic balance. One group underwent balance training alone, while the other group combined gastrocnemius static self-stretching with balance training. Static and dynamic balance were measured before and after the intervention in both groups. Paired t-tests were used to analyze the within-group changes, and independent t-tests were employed to compare the differences in effects between the two groups. Significant increases in both static and dynamic balance were observed in both groups (p<.05). Notably, the group that received both balance training and gastrocnemius self-stretching showed a significantly greater improvement in dynamic balance (p<.05), as well as significant increases in static balance, specifically in the weight distribution index (WDI) and Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) scores (p<.05). In conclusion, this study demonstrates that both balance training on an unstable support surface and gastrocnemius self-stretching are effective in improving static and dynamic balance.
