Static balance measurement

It is almost impossible to measure the abilities of coordination independently. Still there are efforts to develop methods and techniques that may help us register and follow up athletes’ performance and condition. Any motion presupposes healthy balance system. Central nervous system actively controls our balance. Besides the roles of visual, vestibular and proprioception feedback mechanisms reflexes and volitional muscle responses are also crucial. Postural control involves controlling the body’s position in space for dual purposes of stability and orientation (Nagy and et al, 2008). From this it follows that for athletes the presence of control is indispensable. Developing the abilities to balance our body depends on age as until the age of 12 this level can be 90%. Naturally it does not mean that exercises and trainings focusing on the development of balance would be ineffective.
