While suspension training devices are increasingly gaining popularity, there is limited evidence on their effects on balance, and no comprehensive assessment has been conducted. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 9-session suspension training program on dynamic and static balance, stability, and functional performance. A total of forty-eight healthy adults, aged between 18 and 30, participated in a 9-session suspension training program.
