The purpose of this study was to assess whether participation of players in a netball game affected the balance parameters of postural sway and the forward lunge. Further, possible associations between changes of these parameters and time since previous injury, perceived injury recovery, grade and position played were investigated.Twenty-seven female players, aged 15–29 years, were assessed before and after a netball game, using the NeuroCom Balance Master™ version 6.1. Postural sway was assessed during unipedal stance with eyes closed, for three trials of 10s. A forward lunge was performed three times on each leg and the lunge distance relative to body height, impact force and duration of contact were determined. Paired t-tests were used to compare the parameters before and after the game. Individual linear regressions were performed to determine whether changes in parameters were associated with time since past injury, perceived recovery of injury, grade and position played.Although the increase in postural sway during unipedal stance after the netball game reached statistical significance for the preferred leg, the mean increase was 0.39°s −1 , indicating a 26.4% mean increase. The relative distance of the forward lunge significantly decreased for both legs following the game, with a mean decrease of 2.66% of body height. The changes in parameters were not associated with time since injury, perceived recovery, grade and position played.Postural sway whilst standing on the preferred leg was more likely to increase and the lunging distance to decrease bilaterally after a netball game. However, as these changes were individual-specific, testing postural sway and the lunge pre-game would not predict possible changes incurred during a netball game.
