Summary/Abstract: In our work we sought to verify the effectiveness of a didactic programme of exercise on unstable surfaces for stimulation of strength abilities, compared to a similar didactic programme conducted on stable surfaces, thus creating an alternative choice for coaches, teachers, and sports instructors. A major element of the didactic process is the quality of the strength training programme on stable and unstable surfaces. The sample of probands was selected from a population of college and recreational and active athletes from Prague. The group was made up of men aged 20 to 35 (n = 50). The probands were randomly assigned too groups. From a methodological point of view, this was a single-factor, two-level experiment. The experimental factor was represented by a specifi c strength programme (exercise on unstable surfaces, exercise on a stable base, without any exercise programme). The movement programme lasted 10 weeks and contained 22 exercise units.
