CONSIDERATIONS ON THE CENTER OF PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION TRENDS IN POSTURAL CONTROL MECHANISM SYSTEM

Summary/Abstract: The modern approach argue the real balance in the sense of zero deviations from a fixed point, could not exist in biological systems. The balance is part of the coordination and coordination capacity shown to be necessary in performing motor skills development, this based on capacity to learn, control and permanently adaptation. The major interest in this paper is to establish trend data recorded on the position of the center of pressure analysis in subjects with different levels of sports activities practicing. For this purpose we have investigated the reproducible laboratory conditions a number of 62 subjects divided into two groups, a sample of 31 subjects consistent practitioners of the sport, but do not the level of performance and a sample of 31 athletes (shooting performance), with experience in the sports training and competition. Postural stability was evaluated by software - POSTUROTEST, it can reveal information about the mechanism of postural control system. The center of pressure is the result of descending motor commands and combinations of mechanical properties of the ankle. This testing type is included into the category of tests oriented towards the sensorial organization, the method is also known under the name of "posturography". The test consists in keeping the body position on a platform, the eyes staring at a given target. The platform pressure sensors register the body movements (balance), while the tested person keeps his balance. The results suggest that individual differences in postural balance are insignificant in relation to the appearance of somatic, physiological healthy person (statistically habitual) with regard significant changes can be observed in the case of athletes, they resort to achieve results performance to solutions for improving stability phenotypic developing the ability to maintain balance in sports sample specific positions.
