Balance is known as an important factor in many athletic skills which its weakness is related to some injuries such as ankle or knee instability or pain, knee Osteoarthritis and acute ankle sprain. The goal of this research is to study the effect of balancing and resistive selected exercise on young footballers' dynamic balance. In this study thirty six young footballers (Age: 18.22±0.83 year, Height: 173±5.73 cm, Weight: 62.1±6.88) participated as volunteers and were divided randomly in three groups of Experimental 1 (Resistive), Experimental 2 (Balancing) and Control. Subjects dynamic balance in pre-test and post-test was measured using Biodex balance system. Experimental Group 1 and 2 took part in an eight-week designed program of balance and resistive exercises. Descriptive statistics methods, ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test in significance level of p<0.05 were utilized for statistical analysis. They showed which there is a significant difference among three groups in subjects dynamic balance after balance and resistive exercises, while balance exercises showed much improvement in comparison to resistive exercises in subjects dynamic balance.(p<0.05). Results confirmed the significant influence of these exercises on subjects’ dynamic balance. According to the results, using balance and resistive exercises can be recommended in order to improve athlete’s dynamic balance and injury probability decrease.
