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 40 (n = 75). The probands were randomly assigned to three groups. From a methodological point of view, this was a single-factor, tri-level experiment. The experimental factor was represented by a specific strength programme (exercise on unstable surfaces, exercise on a stable base, without any exercise programme). The movement programme lasted 10 weeks and con- tained 22 exercise units. When evaluating the overall results of the tests before and after the experimental pro- gramme, we come to be of the opinion that the experimental programme manifested itself positively in effectiveness of stimulating strength abilities. The strength programme had an influence on increasing the persistence of strength in dynamic and static regimens. In the case of a strengthening programme on unstable surfaces there was a tendency towards greater growth in the number of repetitions as opposed to programme on a stable base at the beginning of the programme in the case of exercise in a dynamic regimen.
