Abstract
Quality of balance and pressure distribution beneath the foot during double-leg stance in young women
Highlights
One from the important preconditions for optimal performance of all physical activities is a good quality of balance
First part deals with the description of the results of the balance tests, second part deals with the pressure distribution beneath the foot during the eyes open (EO) test and the relationship between the pressure distribution and the COP velocity
The lowest COPv was found in the EO test and the highest in the eyes closed (EC) test
Summary
One from the important preconditions for optimal performance of all physical activities is a good quality of balance. Aim of Study: The study is focusing to find out the effect of pressure distribution beneath the foot on the balance and to compare the quality of balance in physically active and inactive young women. Results: We found out that a physically active group of young women have significantly better results in all tests (p≤0.05). In studies are compared older and younger age groups [5,9,10,11] or examine the influence of different external conditions on the quality of balance [12]. Fewer studies focus on young age groups [7,12,13] or on the quality of balance in young adults with different volume of physical activities. Balance can be positively influenced by the adaptation to the physical activity, especially the adaptation to specific stimuli focused on improving coordination [13]
