This study investigated the effects of rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS), including fast and slow tempo exercise, on balance ability in abnormal adults. This study was performed on 24 subjects who were divided into two groups based on the RAS tempo during exercise: fast (n=12) and slow (n=12) tempo. Both groups performed the exercise four times a week for five weeks. The data were analyzed using paired t-tests to compare the changes in the factors for each group after RAS. The independent t-test was used for comparisons between the groups. The results are presented here. There were statistically significant differences in one-leg standing test (OLST), functional reach test (FRT), and balance biodex systems (BBS) before and after RAS in both, the fast and slow tempo RAS exercise groups (p<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between fast and slow tempo RAS exercise groups in OLST, FRT, and BBS (p>0.05). As a result of this study, both groups experienced improved balance. Comparison of the groups revealed no statistically significant differences.
