8 studies were included in this meta-analysis comparing proprioceptive and injury outcomes in athletes who received balance training vs. athletes who received no balance training. The primary outcome of interest was the incidence of ankle sprains. Pooled results demonstrated a significant reduction in the incidence of ankle sprain among groups which received balance training compared to groups which did not. Further studies should be considered to examine the effects of balance training separately in athletes with ankle sprain and athletes without ankle sprain.
