Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of training for dynamic balance on bowling performance. A secondary purpose was to determine the effect of training for dynamic balance on balance performance. Twenty-seven women enrolled in four bowling classes at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro served as subjects for this study. The experimental group of fifteen subjects received training for dynamic balance in addition to regular bowling instruction; the control group of twelve subjects received only bowling instruction. A total of twenty-seven subjects completed the study. The four bowling classes were taught by the author and received the same instruction. The method of instruction stressed spot bowling using the four step approach and the straight ball delivery. Classes met twice a week for seventeen weeks.
