Abstract

This preliminary research investigates the effectiveness of Fitlight technology in enhancing the balance and reactive balance skills of male basketball players aged 13-14. Employing a comprehensive research design, the study involved 19 athletes from the "LPS Târgu-Mures" team over an eight-week period. The effectiveness of a specific training programme was evaluated through a series of Y balance tests and Reactive Y balance tests. The results demonstrated significant improvements in the athletes' balance capabilities, as evidenced by increased mean distances and Cohens effect sizes in the Y balance tests and enhanced reaction times in the Reactive Y balance tests.
