Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purposes: 1) To determine the effects of weighted waist-hooping on balance in healthy individuals and 2) to observe whether these effects are attributed to neuromuscular conditioning or core strength gains.

Methods: 27 females (ages 20-45) were included, 15 in the intervention group, and 12 in the control. The intervention consisted of six weeks of weighted waist-hooping four times a week for 10 minutes each session. Balance was assessed pre and post intervention using the BESS, SEBT, and Neurocom SOT. Core strength was assessed using hold duration of a bilateral and unilateral plank.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Weighted waist-hooping

Participants weighted waist-hooping on their own for ten minutes a day, four days a week, for six weeks resulting in a total of 40 minutes of weighted waist-hooping each week. Participants weighted waist-hooped with a three-pound weighted hula hoop at the waist for ten minutes. Half time hooping to the left and the other half hooping to the right. If discomfort while hooping occurred participants were instructed to take breaks, change directions more frequently, or where thicker clothing to lessen the impact of the hoop around their waists. The investigators would check in on the participants weekly to provide feedback on technique and answer all questions throughout the six-week intervention.
