Investigating the Effects of a Slashpipe Training Intervention on Postural Control Compared to Conventional Barbell Power Fitness

Postural control is critical for maintaining balance and stability in health-related situations. Core stability is needed for postural control and describes the ability to hold tension in the abdominal and lumbopelvic region and a global and a local stability system distinguished. Several training strategies for improving postural control have been suggested in the past. One of these ideas is 'Slashpipe' training, which involves performing exercises similar to those seen in barbell power fitness programs using a pipe partially filled with liquid. The study's goal was to look into the effects of a Slashpipe training intervention on balance ability. We gathered 31 people, eleven of whom trained for eight weeks with a Slashpipe (intervention group 1, IG-1), eight of whom trained for eight weeks with rigid weights (intervention group 2, IG-2), and eleven who did not get any training (control group, CG). To evaluate single leg postural sway, a Posturomed with a two-dimensional sensor was utilized before and after the 8-week period. The results for IG-1 and IG-2 revealed a considerable improvement. There was no change in postural sway in the CG. As a result, we discovered evidence that Slashpipe training improved stability. Based on the outcomes of this study, Slashpipe could be a useful training tool to use in conjunction with other types of training.
