Background and Aims The interest in martial arts practice has increased greatly in recent years, so more than 75 million teenagers worldwide are active in at least one martial art. Accordingly, this study aimed to compare the effect of ballistic exercises with and without motor sensor exercises on women karateka’s proprioception, function, strength, and balance. Methods In this study, 30 female karateka athletes with an average age of 15±3 years were selected by available sampling. The subjects were randomly divided into three training groups of 10 people: Ballistics with motor sensor training, ballistic training without motor sensor training, and control. Experimental group 1 followed ballistic training with motor sensor exercises, experimental group 2 received only ballistic training, and the control group did their usual training sessions. The indices of proprioception, function, strength, and balance were evaluated. Data analysis was done using SPSS software, version 26 (P≤0.05). Results The results showed a significant difference between the activity level of ballistic exercises with and without sensory motor exercises on karateka women’s proprioception, function, strength, and balance (P≤0.05). Conclusion According to the results, female karateka coaches and athletes, to improve proprioception, function, strength, and balance, it is better to use ballistic exercises with sensor motors exercises.
