Abstract
The aim of the work. Keeping balance is a process connected with a continuous change of parameters and protective mechanisms in the time function. The aim of the research was to make the characteristic of balance based on the stabiligraphic parameters SPOX and SPOY among children 12–15 years old.Material and methods. 503 children chosen from the Primary School number 13 and the Gymnasium number 4 in Starachowice took part in the research. Balance was examined on the stabiligraphic platform. The average load point X (SPOX) and the average load point Y (SPOY) were used to describe balance.Results. SPOX value for the whole group fluctuated from – 0.86 with open eyes to – 2.49 with closed eyes. In the group of girls SPOX value fluctuated from – 0.94 with open eyes to – 2.51 with closed eyes and in the group of boys it was from – 0.78 with open eyes to – 2.48 with closed eyes. SPOY value for the whole group fluctuated from 39.72 with open eyes to 40.16 with closed eyes. In the group of girls SPOY value fluctuated from 39.94 with open eyes to 42.27 with closed eyes and in the group of boys it was from 39.72 with open eyes to 40.16 with closed eyes.Conclusion. A variation analysis for SPOX showed only an essential effect of the examined options which makes an important difference for the research with open and closed eyes (p &lt; 0,001). Closing eyes makes that SPOX value increases with its moving on the left side (heavier loading of the left leg). Transfers COP in the frontal plane are much fewer and the increase of instability in this plane is usually compensated effectively by a strategy of the hip joint. A variation analysis for SPOY showed an essential diversity regarding gender (p &lt; 0.008), age (p &lt; 0.001), an essential gender interaction and an examined option (p &lt; 0.001) and an essential age interaction and an examined option (p &lt; 0.001). Closing eyes is connected with the increase of SPOY value by moving body forward. The decline of balance is usually compensated by a strategy of the tarsal joint.
