Thus, the present study examined the acute effects of a single unilateral BT session conducted with the non-dominant, left leg or the dominant, right leg on ipsilateral (i.e. retention) and contralateral (i.e., inter-limb transfer) balance performance in healthy young adults ( N = 28). Results: Irrespective of practice condition, significant improvements ( p < 0.001, d = 1.27) in balance performance following a single session of unilateral BT were observed for both legs. Further, significant performance differences at the pretest ( p = 0.002, d = 0.44) to the detriment of the non-dominant, left leg diminished immediately and 30 min after the single unilateral BT session but occurred again 24 h following training ( p = 0.030, d = 0.36). These findings indicate that a single session of unilateral BT is effective to reduced side-to-side differences in balance performance, but this impact is only temporary. 4950 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-021-05774-7$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:465-20240904-132338-2$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/receive/duepublico_mods_00077588 5051 796 5550 Inter-limb transfer 5550 Leg asymmetry 5550 Postural control 5550 Side-to-side difference
