The purpose of this study was to show the effects of balance training on the improvement of balance and performance for recreational bowlers. The samples for the study were chosen as 24 students who were taking the bowling class in I university. The 12-week experiment was carried out for the exercise group of 12 students in the balance training program and the control group of 12 students participating in the general class. First, there was no insignificant difference between groups at pre balance test. However, there were significant difference in the closed-eyes foot balance(p<.01) and the stick test(p<.001) for static balance and the modified Bass test(p<.01) for dynamic balance between groups at post balance test. Second, there were insignificant increases in the closed-eyes foot balance(p<.01) and the stick test(p<.001) for static balance and the modified Bass test(p<.01) for dynamic balance within exercise group after training. However, there was no insignificant change within control group. Third, there was no insignificant difference between groups at both pre and post bowling score test. Forth, there were insignificant increase in the bowling score within both exercise(p<.05) and control(p<.01) group.
