OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of a 6-week progressive hop-stabilization and balance (PHSB) training on walking gait biomechanics and flow experience in recreational runners with functional ankle instability (FAI), and to explore associations between post-intervention biomechanics and changes in subjective running flow experiences.
METHODS: 24 male recreational runners participated in this matched-group study, including 12 runners with FAI and 12 healthy controls (HC). All participants completed a 6-week PHSB training. Training effects were analyzed using 2 (group) by 2 (time) repeated-measures ANOVA. Within the FAI group, Spearman's rank correlations were conducted to examine associations between post-intervention gait metrics and flow change scores.
RESULTS: Following the intervention, the FAI group exhibited a significant reduction in step width (p = 0.044), along with significant increases in stride length, walking speed, and peak heel force. Flow total score and foundational dimensions significantly increased in the FAI group (p < 0.001, 0.045 and <0.001 respectively), whereas higher-order deep experiential qualities remained unchanged. Correlation analyses revealed that post single support phase was negatively associated with flow change score (rs=-0.599, p = 0.039), while stance phase was significantly associated with the loss of self-consciousness (rs=0.611, p = 0.035).
CONCLUSION: A 6-week PHSB training effectively enhances both gait and flow experience in recreational runners with FAI. The exploratory associations suggest that improvements in physical stability may reduce the need for conscious, compensatory motor control, thereby facilitating a more fluent psychological experience.
