Analysis of the Relationship of Bipedal Dynamic Balance Indices in Performance “Sambo” Athletes

Abstract

The study examines the relationship between dynamic balance and postural deviations in performance Sambo athletes. The research involved 13 athletes aged 14-17, trained at the “Steaua” Army Sports Club. The evaluation was conducted using the Sensamove miniboard, with a bipedal test lasting 20 seconds and a maximum tilting of 10.00 degrees. Results show better vertical balance performance (85.38%) compared to lateral balance (78.31%). The coefficient of variation indicates greater homogeneity in lateral balance (8.59%) than in vertical balance (12.25%). Postural deviations are more pronounced in the front and back, with higher values for EDV (Front Inside = 45.23%, Back Inside = 40.07%). Correlations highlight a significant association between lateral balance and lateral deviations (R = 0.510). The t-test does not show significant differences (p > 0.05), with a trend towards significance for lateral deviations (p = 0.075). Conclusions emphasize the need for specific interventions to improve lateral balance and reduce postural deviations.
