ABSTRACT
Main purpose of this dissertation is to analysis the impact of balance training in preventing
ankle sprains among woman or man athletes. It is a main purpose in order to achieve this
purpose, research objectives and questions are made by using PICO framework. This framework
includes four elements which are problem intervention, comparison and outcomes. These
elements are effective in making of research questions. Along with this, with the help of research
questions, researchers can easily analysis importance of this topic and dissertation. There are
different objectives for preparing this dissertation such as benefits of utilising balance training
over ankle sprains among woman and man athletes, different types of balance training that can
be used to reduce the ankle sprains of athletes and challenges that can be faced while utilising
balance training. These are main objectives that helps researcher in identification of research gap
and ways for fluffing these gaps in effective and systematic manner. Literature review is also
follow by researcher for collecting secondary information about the topic from different sources
such as books, articles, magazines, publication research etc. These are effective sources for
collection secondary data about the topic. in methodology section, research use number of
methods such as research design, sampling etc. These are effective and useful methods for
investigator in conducting of full dissertation in systematic and effective manner. at last
conclusion and recommendation for practices is use for summarising entire information about the
project in briefly.

TOPIC - Does balance training can prevent ankle sprains among woman or
man athletes
Introduction
Background information
Over the years, it has been found that balance training has been one of the crucial remedy
that has delivered ample number of benefits to physicians at the time of serving appropriate
medication to both male and female athletes that are dealing with various type of muscular pain,
sprains and so on. In present time, within healthcare industry, most of the healthcare providers
look forward to help athletes considering different ways of treatment before reaching to
decisions of performing surgery as it can prevent ankle sprains or any other sprain among
woman or man athletes (Whyte, Burke, White and Moran, 2015). Also, it has been found that
considering different sports like football, handball and more Female athletes has a range of risks
of going through lower extremity injuries. Also, there are many investigations which has been
performed in the past that stated that time-dependent adaptations which consists of both dynamic
balancing and static consists of potential injury related dangerous to a specific warm-up program
focusing on neuromuscular control. Focusing on one particular investigation, which was
performed has stated that a neuromuscular warm-up emphatically impacts offset factors related
with an expanded danger of lower limit wounds in female handball competitors. The course of
adjustments proposes that a preparation volume of 15 min, multiple times week after week over
at any rate a month and a half delivers quantifiable changes.
Rationale
Ankle sprain can be an excruciating physical issue, and it is one of the most widely
recognized orthopedic reasons for a crisis at the time when both woman or man athletes performs
any physically activity while playing different types of games like basketball, football, and so
on(Bell, Bryman and Harley, 2018). Lower leg sprains happen when the athlete’s (Man and
Woman) lower leg turns over strangely when running, hopping, and arriving from a bounce. As
lower leg (Ankle) turns over, the tendons—those cartilaginous structures that join one
unresolved issue—that forces lower leg (Ankle) are pushed, and potentially overemphasized. An
excessive amount of worry to those lower leg tendons and they may stretch and tear, prompting a
lower leg sprain. Albeit a lower leg sprain is viewed as a minor physical issue, on the off chance

that an individual believes specifically have sprained an athlete’s lower leg. It is must for
individuals that they should visit primary care physician to get it looked at. Here, it can be said
that primary care physician may play out an X-Ray to preclude a genuine lower leg break, and
the individual may allude the person to a PT for treatment for ankle sprain. In the event that the
person has sprained the lower leg (Ankle), then it is may profit by working with a physical
advisor to assist individuals with recovering ordinary useful versatility (Azeem and Zutshi,
2017). These researches has mentioned that performing an effective therapy would lead to
develop a range of outcomes like restore normal ankle range of motion (ROM), improve
muscular strength and stability around ankle, decrease ankle pain, reduction within swelling
around ankle joint also, it restore different normal balancing as well proprioception to your entire
lower extremity. Another investigation of 34 competitors with interminable lower leg shakiness
inspected the impact of equalization and proprioception preparing on generally speaking lower
leg work(Bellows and Wong, 2018). One proviso to this investigation: the members performed
equalization and proprioception preparing with their non-harmed lower leg at whatever point
conceivable. The outcomes show that performing equalization and proprioception preparing on
one leg (the "great" one) yielded positive outcomes for the harmed or sprained lower leg.
