Introduction: Over the years, injury rehabilitation has changed from strengthening the body using strength training to achieve functional kinetic chain movements using neuromuscular training, which includes balance and proprioception. Neuromuscular control is the motor response to the sensory input of the muscles, whereas balance is a state of bodily equilibrium. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of core stabilization and balance training on dynamic balance.

Method: subjects were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: Group A-core stabilization group and Group B-Balance training group. Both groups were given exercise program for six days per weeks for two weeks. Pre and post analysis was done by using Star Excursion Balance Test.

Result: Paired T-test was used within the group and p value was found to be less than .05 in both the groups and independent sample T-test was used between the groups where p value was found to be more than .05.

Conclusion: Our study concluded that there was no statistical significant difference between core stabilization group and balance training group.
