Effects of Slackline Training on Core Strength and Balance in Young Adults

This intervention consisted of a six-week supervised slackline training program designed to improve core stability, physical performance, and dynamic balance. Participants in the intervention group performed 18 sessions (3 sessions per week, 45 minutes each) using a Gibbon-brand slackline (12.5 meters in length, 50 mm wide). The training protocol included a structured progression of 11 exercises, ranging from assisted standing to unassisted long walks and dynamic movements on the slackline. All sessions were conducted under the supervision of a licensed physiotherapist to ensure participant safety and training fidelity. Exercises were adapted weekly to increase difficulty, challenge motor control, and stimulate neuromuscular adaptation.
