Title: The Effect of Expertise in Elite Artistic Gymnasts on Postural Control Objective: The main aim of this thesis is to assess the level of postural stability in elite artistic gymnasts using NeuroCom Smart EquiTest System dynamic computer posturograph and to compare the measured data with a control group of people who do not do any elite sport activity. Methods: In this quantitative observational study were involved 32 probands aged 18-28 years. The probands were divided into two groups. The experimental group consisted of elite male and female gymnasts (n=16) in the selected age range of 18-27 years, with a mean age 21,38 years. The control group consisted of the people who do not do any elite sport activity (n=16) in the age range of 22-28 years, with a mean age of 25,08 years. The experimental group was further divided into individuals with a history of knee injury (n=8) in the age range 18-27 years, with mean age of 22,01 years and without injury (n=8) in the age range 19-24 years with mean age of 20,75 years. The NeuroCom Smart EquiTest System was chosen to objectively assess postural stability. The actual measurements were performed in the kinesiology laboratory at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University. Five protocols were selected from the whole set of tests:... |
