Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.
Standard Deviation01:10

Standard Deviation

The most commonly used measure of variation is the standard deviation. It is a numerical value measuring how far data values are from their mean. The standard deviation value is small when the data are concentrated close to the mean, exhibiting slight variation or spread. The standard deviation value is never negative, it is either positive or zero. The standard deviation is larger when the data values are more spread out from the mean, which means the data values are exhibiting more...
Weighted Mean00:57

Weighted Mean

While taking the arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic mean of a sample data set, equal importance is assigned to all the data points. However, all the values may not always be equally important in some data sets. An intrinsic bias might make it more important to give more weightage to specific values over others.
For example, consider the number of goals scored in the matches of a tournament. While computing the average number of goals scored in the tournament, it may be more important to...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics
  • Human Performance

Background:

  • Balance is crucial for athletic performance and injury prevention.
  • The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is a common clinical tool to assess postural stability.
  • Understanding how athletic participation affects balance is important for athlete health and training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate changes in Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) performance in college-aged females after a 90-day athletic season.
  • To determine if participation in intercollegiate sports leads to significant improvements in balance.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective longitudinal study design was employed.
  • 58 college-aged females (student-athletes and recreationally active controls) were assessed.
  • The BESS test was administered before (PRE) and after (POST) the athletic season (90 days apart).

Main Results:

  • A significant main effect for time was observed, indicating overall improvement in BESS performance.
  • BESS scores improved significantly from PRE (9.00 ± 2.97 errors) to POST (7.92 ± 2.78 errors) (P = 0.003).
  • Statistically significant differences were found for both overall change (1.08 errors) and absolute value change (2.00 errors).

Conclusions:

  • A clinically and statistically significant improvement in BESS performance was identified after a 90-day intercollegiate athletic season.
  • This suggests that participation in collegiate athletics enhances postural control and balance.
  • The findings highlight the positive impact of athletic training on balance capabilities.
