Life Style Influence on Body Stability for Young Subjects

Abstract

The paper presents a stage of the research on the influence of lifestyle on body stability. This stage refers to the body equilibrium for a sample of 12 young persons. These were chosen as part of the three categories: subjects who regularly practice equilibrium sports (the first one), who practice other sports, not involving body equilibrium (the second), and who do not practice any sports (the third). For each person, it was applied the same testing procedure, in four postures. It was proved that for the first category, body equilibrium was much better than for the third category (about 35 ÷ 40%). Besides, for the second category, the body equilibrium was also much better than for the third category (about 30 ÷ 35%).
