The intervention lasted six weeks and was performed twice a week for 15 minutes. The maximum and explosive strength was evaluated 3 dynamometer by a Biodex. With a balance-coordination-platform of MediTech the balance ability was determined.

Results:

The results show that the "Slack Nut group" got better in the capabilities of the maximum strength and balance. Also the results of the explosive strength show that the Slack Nut has a positive influence on that. The "normal" group only improved their maximal strength.
