Student	Abstract			 Journal	of	Sports	Medicine	and	Allied	Health	Science	|	Vol.	4	|	Issue.	1	|	OATA	Annual	Symposium	Special	Ed.	  Changes	 in	 SEBT	 Scores	 in	 College	 Basketball	 Players	 Participating	 in	 a	Preventative	Ankle	Program	Haley	Potters;	Jennifer	Miller;	Kurt	Wilson	AT,	CSCS	 	 	 										Division	of	Athletic	Training,	Ohio	Northern	University	_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________	INTRODUCTION	 	 	 	 	Balance	 deficits	 have	 been	 associated	 with	increased	ankle	injury	rates	among	athletes.1	Preventative	 exercise	 programs	 have	 been	developed	to	help	with	injury	prevention,	but	the	 effectiveness	 of	 these	 programs	 has	 not	been	 assessed	 by	 a	 test	 that	 is	 easily	administered	by	clinicians.	OBJECTIVE	 	 	 	 	 	The	purpose	of	this	study	was	to	use	the	Star	Excursion	Balance	Test	 (SEBT)	to	determine	whether	 a	 5-week	 preventative	 exercise	program	 would	 improve	 participants’	 reach	distances.	SETTING	 	 	 	 	 	Athletic	training	research	laboratory.	PARTICIPANTS	 	 	 	 		Six	male	and	seven	female	college	basketball	players.	METHODS	 	 	 	 	 	After	 completing	 a	 baseline	 SEBT,	 the	participants	 took	 part	 in	 a	 5-week	preventative	 exercise	 program	 which	incorporated	 postural	 stability,	 strength	 and	plyometric	exercises.	Following	the	program,	the	SEBT	was	repeated	and	the	results	served	as	the	outcome	measurements.		INTERVENTION	 	 	 	 			5-week	preventative	exercise	program.	MAIN	OUTCOME	MEASUREMENTS	 	Star	Excursion	Balance	Test	RESULTS	 	 	 	 	 	Following	the	preventative	program	the	male	and	 female	 participants	 both	 significantly	increased	 reach	 distances.	 The	 female	participants	increased	significantly	in	the	left	leg	 posteromedial	 direction	 (96.6	 ±	 3.67	 to	105.67	±	3).	The	male	participants	increased	significantly	 in	 the	 left	 leg	 anterior	 (65.89	 ±	2.89	to	74.38	±	3.62),	posteromedial	(98.28	±	3.81	 to	 108.12	 ±	 4.09)	 and	 posterolateral	(84.69	±	5.95	to	99.35	±	5.57)	directions.		CONCLUSION	 	 	 	 				A	5-week	preventative	exercise	program	may	improve	 the	 balance	 of	 college	 basketball	players	 and	 so	 reduce	 the	 likelihood	 of	sustaining	an	ankle	injury.
