Evaluation of The Relationship Between Body Awareness, Static and Dynamic Balance and
Proprioception of The Knee and Ankle in Subjects Who Do Exercise Regurlary.
Aim:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise on body awareness, balance and proprioception in
healthy subjects.
Method:
Thirty voluntary participants included in this study. The exercise group (n=15) and the non-exercise group (n=15).
Body awareness, static and dynamic balance and proprioception of ankle and knee were evaluated. The body awareness was
evaluated using Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ); static balance was evaluated by One-Leg Stance Test and dynamic
balance was evaluated using Star Excursion Balance Test. Proprioception of the ankle was evaluated at 10º dorsiflexion and 25º
plantarflexion and the knee was evaluated at 30 º in both flexion and extension directions with both eyes open and eyes closed
by using Active Reproduction Test.
Results:
There was a significant difference in BAQ and static and dynamic balance scores between exercising and non-exercising
groups (p<0,001) (p<0,05). However, the knee and ankle proprioception results showed no statistically significant differences
between exercising and non-exercising groups (p>0,05). There was a positive correlation between body awareness and both
dynamic and static balance in all participant (p<0,05).
Conclusion:
Exercise has possitive impact on body awareness and balance.
Key words:
Balance, Body Awareness, Exercise, Proprioception
