So, Strengthening and improving balance functions to reduce injuries, costs of treatment and avoidance of competitions should be emphasized. So, The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of total resistance exercise on equilibrium functions of Futsal players. Methods: The present study was an experimental type with pretest and posttest design. The statistical population consisted of 24 qualified Futsal players that divided into equal groups in the intervention (12) and control (12) groups. The intervention group performed TRX training ones for six weeks in three sessions of 60 minutes per week. During the research, the control group performed their routine exercises. The dynamic equilibrium was evaluated by the star excursion balance Test before and 6 weeks after of exercise. Paired T and Independent t-test and were used for data analysis in Spss version 23. Result: According to the present research, the ability of the intervention group in performing the balance test was significantly improved. While these changes were not significant for the control group.
