EFFECT OF COMPRESSION SOCKS ON POSTURAL BALANCE AMONG UNIVERSITY NETBALL PLAYERS
View through CrossRef
The purpose of this study was to observe the effects of wearing compression socks on postural balance in university netball players. Fourteen advanced learners' netball players performed three trials (20 seconds for each trial) of dynamic postural balance test on Biodex Stability System, in two socks conditions, (a) Normal Socks and (b) Compression Socks. Data on overall, anterior/posterior and medial/lateral stability indexes were analyzed using Paired Sample T-tests. Results revealed that wearing compression materials significantly enhanced static and dynamic postural balance among the university netball players. The improvement in the key variables is likely to have occurred through enhanced somatosensory feedback information that was received the lower limbs to regulate better postural stability. It is suggested that compression socks can be used by netball players to improve their postural stability possibly during shooting performance.
