“…[4,6] The most prevalent laboratory test for static balance is monitoring the centre of pressure (CoP) motion for a specified duration as an athlete attempts to stand motionless on a force platform, unipedal or bipedal, eyes open or eyes shut. [7][8][9] While it is acknowledged that CoP motion is not identical to CoG motion [10] , minimal CoP motion is indicative of good balance and CoP measured from a force platform is generally considered the gold standard measure of balance. [11] Examples of field tests of dynamic balance include unipedal stance on a wobble board and counting the number of floor contacts in 30s [12] and the Star Excursion Balance…”

“…[13] There are other sports where it might be expected that more proficient athletes would display better balance but this was not found for different competition levels for alpine skiing, surfing and judo. [8,33,35] National and international level alpine skiers had similar static and dynamic bipedal balance to regional level skiers when tested with ski boots but inferior bare foot static and dynamic balance to regional skiers. [33] To explain this unexpected result, it was proposed that elite skiers spend more time in ski boots and possibly don't get as much postural control conditioning of the ankle-foot complex.…”

Background: Surfing is a sport that has become considerably popular, which increased interest in research about the aspects that can influence on the performance of these athletes, such as injuries, aerobic fitness and reaction time. Due to the ever-changing environment and high instability required for surfing, the surfers must develop some neuromuscular skills (agility, balance, muscle strength and flexibility) to acquire better performance in this modality. Nevertheless, there are still few scientific studies concerned about the investigation of these motor skills in surfing. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the balance control in surfers compared to practitioners of other physical activities. Methods: Participants remained on a force platform while performing tasks involving visual deprivation (eyes open or closed) and somatosensory disturbance (steady surface or use of foam), with covariation of experimental conditions. The following variables were analyzed: speed and root mean square (RMS) displacement of the center of pressure in the anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) directions. Results: The results showed no difference between groups during the experimental conditions, that is to say, both surfers and the control group varied over the conditions of eyes closed and on foam. Conclusion: Although surfing requires the surfer to have great balance control, the results did not reveal a relationship between this sport and better performance in balance control. However, we must consider the small sample size and the fact that this sport requires dynamic balance, while the study evaluated static balance.

“…This constitutes the base for the correct execution of complex technical gestures, as well as for the minimization of injury risks. The importance of balance monitoring in adult athletes clearly appears from the conclusions of both articles by (Paillard, 2002) and (Paillard, 2006), the first one regarding judoists, and the second one regarding soccer players balance analysis. Results show that no differences in static balance are evident for judoists performing at regional level and judoists performing at national and international level.…”

Ricotti L. Static and dynamic balance in young athletes. J. Hum. Sport Exerc. Vol. 6, No. 4, pp. 616-628, 2011. The creation of a mature athlete necessarily passes through the expression of his potential during each phase of his development. Young athletes' trainers often neglect specific balance programs, above all in certain sports (e.g. soccer) where balance is poorly considered, but that is fundamental for the execution of complex technical movements, as well as for the prevention of future injuries. In this paper we highlight that balance training at specific ages is important for the maturation of the sensorimotor abilities that are important for a high level athlete. We discuss the main methods used to assess balance in sports, including some useful formulae that can be used to quantify postural performances, and we report the major findings concerning static and dynamic analyses on children and adolescents. Finally, we discuss the existing literature regarding balance recordings on adults, adolescents and children involved in one or more sport activities at regional, national or international level, highlighting the need of further research on the mechanisms underlying balance improvements related to different sport activities at various ages.
