“…The number of repetitions were registered. The sitto-stand 30 seconds [25] was chosen because it seems to be a better measure compared to sit-to-stand five times to detect clinical modifications in PwPD [26]. The MMSE [35] is a simple, practical, and reliable test for assessment of cognitive state.…”

Mobility difficulties for people with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD) are more pronounced when they perform a simultaneous cognitive task while walking. Although it is known that neurodegeneration results in widespread motor and brain impairments, few studies have comprehensively examined possible physical and mental determinants of dual task walking in PwPD. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate if and how muscle strength (sit-to-stand 30s test), cognition (mini-mental state examination) and functionality (timed up and go test) affect walking performance (10-meter walking test) with and without arithmetic dual task from older adults with and without Parkinson’s disease. Walking speed was reduced by 16% and 11% with arithmetic dual task for PwPD (from 1.07 ± 0.28 to 0.91 ± 0.29 m.s-1, p < 0.001) and older adults (from 1.32 ± 0.28 to 1.16 ± 0.26 m.s-1, p = 0.002) compared to essential walking. The cognitive state was similar among the groups, but it was only associated with the dual-task walking speed in PwPD. In PwPD, lower limb strength was the better predictor of speed, whereas mobility was more related to it in older adults. Therefore, future exercise interventions aiming to improve walking in PwPD should consider these findings to maximize their effectiveness.

“…Physical tests can be used to measure lower limb strength (as sit-to-stand test [19,20],) and mobility (as timed-up and go test (TUG) [21]) of older adults [22,23]. Furthermore, the PwPD motor symptoms -freezing of gait [24], balance impairment and bradykinesia [25,26] -can affect their performance on these tests.…”

“…In population studies ( Topendsports, 2023 ), 1 tests from three groups are most commonly used: Standing Balance (Flamingo Balance, Stork Stand Test, Standing Balance Test, One Leg Stand, and Stick Lengthwise Test), Walking Balance (Beam Walk, Balance Beam Test, Walk and Turn Field Sobriety Test), and Dynamic Balance (Balance Board Test, Bass Test, Star Excursion Balance Test, Y Balance Test, and Multiple Single-Leg Hop-Stabilization). Clinical trials, on the other hand, often use the following tests: Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed “Up & Go,” Single-leg stance test, 10-Meter Walk Test, BDL Balance Scale, Functional Reach test, Tinetti test, Mini Balance Evaluation Systems Test, and Unified Balance Scale ( Lindmark et al, 2012 ; Takacs et al, 2014 ; Paillard and Noé, 2015 ; Hatfield et al, 2016 ; Bergquist et al, 2019 ; Kalkan et al, 2021 ). For many years, various types of balance platforms have been used to assess postural stability.…”

“…Another issue is the choice of tools and methods for measuring static and dynamic balance. In population studies (Topendsports, 2023), 1 (Lindmark et al, 2012;Takacs et al, 2014;Paillard and Noé, 2015;Hatfield et al, 2016;Bergquist et al, 2019;Kalkan et al, 2021).

Relationships between selected indices of postural stability and sports performance in elite badminton players: Pilot study

The main aim of this study was to determine the relationships between postural stability and the place in the ranking of badminton players. The study examined 10 elite players from Polish national badminton team. The scope of the study included basic somatic characteristics, such as body height, body weight, BMI, and training experience. A Microgate GYKO inertial sensor system was used to assess the postural stability of athletes. Using Spearman’s rank correlation, cause-and-effect relationships between the place in the sports ranking and the analyzed variables characterizing postural stability were recognized. Depending on the distribution and homogeneity of variance, the significance of differences in variables that characterize postural stability between players of different sports skill levels (two groups) was calculated. The Student’s t-test or Mann–Whitney’s U-test was used for this purpose. In general, the athletes with higher positions on the ranking list presented a higher level of postural stability in both tests, which is also confirmed by the normalized values. However, for all variables of postural stability, no statistically significant correlations with sports ranking were observed. Higher values of Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients were found for the test performed in the one-foot standing test compared to the two-foot test. The results obtained indicate that particular attention in badminton training should be paid to the development of the level of postural stability in order to improve sports performance.
