Abstract: 

Background: Poor balance ability and lack of explosive power is a predictor of injuries of the lower extremity. Recent scientific researches support the benefits of Proprioceptive training on various dynamic balance and explosive power of leg which increases the performance of the players and reducing the risk of lower extremity injuries in players. Objective: To find out the effect of eight weeks (5 days/week) Proprioceptive training (PT) on dynamic balance and explosive power of leg in male Kho-Kho players. Methods: Fifty male National kho-kho players were selected for the study. Subjects were randomly divided into experimental group (EG) (N = 25) and control group (CG) (N = 25). Dynamic balance (DB), the explosive power of leg (EPL), were measured before and after the intervention. Results: The significant effect of proprioceptive training program was observed (p < 0.05) in Dynamic balance (DB) (respectively; 12.54 %, P < 0.000; F < 264.85; η2 =.84 and Endurance and explosive power of leg (EPL), (respectively; 12.55 %, P < 0.000; F < 34.57; η2 = .42 Conclusion: In conclusion, the 8 - week proprioceptive training (PT) program used in this study was very effective for producing significant benefits to fitness level performance and Dynamic balance, as well as lowering the weight of male Kho-Kho players.
