Introduction: Postural balance plays a crucial role in sports performance, particularly in young athletes during periods of intensive training. However, limited evidence exists regarding the short- and mid-term effects of intensive training camps on balance control in adolescent volleyball players. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a two-week intensive volleyball training camp on postural balance parameters in young female volleyball players, assessed immediately and one month after the camp. Methods: Twenty-nine female volleyball players aged 10–15 years participated in the study. Postural balance was assessed using a Zebris posturographic platform under eyes-open (EO) and eyes-closed (EC) conditions at three time points: before the training camp (Pre), immediately after the camp (Post1), and one month after the camp (Post2). Center of pressure (COP) parameters, including sway path length and ellipse area, were analyzed. Results: Significant improvements in postural balance parameters were observed immediately after the training camp under EO conditions (p <0.05). However, under EC conditions, several parameters deteriorated after the camp. One month after the camp, most parameters returned toward baseline values, indicating a partial loss of training-induced adaptations. Conclusion: An intensive volleyball training camp leads to short-term improvements in postural balance under visual control but may temporarily impair balance performance when visual input is removed. The observed decline in balance parameters one month after the camp highlights the need for continuous proprioceptive and balance-oriented training to maintain postural control adaptations in young volleyball players.
