The subjects exercised squat for 3 weeks, 3 times a week, and 3 sets per a day. At the beginning and the end of the exercise for 3 weeks, subjects measured balance ability using BioRescue to evaluate the improvements of before and after..
All the groups showed the differences in the balance ability on the BioRescue test before and after the exercise. Among these groups, a group with condition of visual blocked on the stable surface showed the highest improvements. And also, it showed significant differences compared to other groups(P>0.05)..
