Six weeks of balance or power training induce no generalizable improvements in balance performance in healthy young adults
ConclusionsNeither a six-week power training nor a varied balance training improved performance or acquisition of an untrained balance task. This underpins the task-specificity principle of training and emphasizes the need for studies that assess the mechanisms of transfer and generalization, thus helping to find more effective intervention programs for fall prevention.
