“…The founders were as deeply influenced by real heroes of war and firefighters, as by superheroes from comic books or Japanese animes [2]. As a consequence, it seems like parkour improves adolescents' self-esteem [28]. Through the exploration of movement, Parkour manifests as an extroverted way of expression, yet one that leads to a process of self-examination of one's psychological and emotional state [29].…”

“…High impacts and unconstrained environments are part of regular practice of parkour as we have seen. Parkour practice is not standardized, specific equipment is not existent and traceurs show a risk-taking behavior [28]. As a consequence, one might consider parkour a dangerous discipline.…”

“…Traceurs are often seen as teenagers eager for adrenaline, doing death defying jumps over roof gaps or performing huge harmful drops. We have seen that this idea is often wrong, and that in any case their psychology goes beyond this stereotype [28,37]. Is the risk of injury higher than in other sports?…”

Parkour is a growing sport that mostly involves jumping, vaulting over obstacles, and climbing in a non dedicated setting. The authors gathered all known relevant literature across miscellaneaous academic fields in order to define parkour with regards to other sports disciplines.Parkour is a lifestyle sport, and as such provides an alternative to mainstream ones, away from strict rules, standardized settings, and necessary competitions. Traceurs (parkour adepts) consider the city as a playground and as an outlet for their creativity, but they also have a strong taste for hard and individualized challenges. They usually train on non specific structures, at ground level. Although their social background is not clear, they are mostly young and male.Traceurs are stronger than recreational athletes, especially in eccentric exercises. However, their endurance skills may be below average. One of the core specificities of parkour is its precision constraint at landing, which turns a standing long jump into a precision jump, regulated on-line so as to prepare for landing. The running precision jump follows the same landing pattern, and its flight phase contrasts with long jump techniques. Injuries, which are not more frequent than in other sports, often occur at reception and on lower limb extremities. This risk is coped with targeting the landing area with the forefoot instead of letting the heel hit the ground like in gymnastics, or with rolling in order to dissipate the impact. Overall, parkour focuses on adaptability to new environments, which leads to specific techniques that have not yet been extensively addressed by the literature.

“…15 It is defined as an art allowing to pass any obstacle to go from one point of space to another with the possibilities offered by the human body. 16 Thus, Parkour involves practitioners (called "tracers") training to overcome obstacles in their path by adapting their movements to the given environment to reach somewhere or something or escaping from someone or something. 17 There are several specific Parkour movements, and these movements vary according to environmental conditions.…”

“…In general, it can be mentioned vaults (movements that involves overcoming an obstacle by climbing, jumping, or diving over an obstacle while using feet, hands, or not touching it at all), precision jumps (jump from or jump to a specific point from a stationary position), wall runs (horizontal or vertical runs, used to get over a wall too high), and "cat leaps" or arm leap (jump used to land on a ledge, a wall, or a fence). 18 Due to the rapid growth of this activity worldwide 16,19 and the fact that this activity had been recognized as a discipline by the International Gymnastics Federation, studies have been conducted to understand tracer's performance better. Most studies have been interested in injuries caused by this activity, 15 sociocultural aspects, 16,19 strength and power performance, 20 and biomechanics characteristics of landing.…”

BACKGROUND: Parkour can be seen as a sport, an art, a philosophy, a state of mind, an art of living. Practitioners (known as “tracers”) have to overcome obstacles in their path by adapting their movements to the given environment to reach somewhere or something or to escape from someone or something. However, the knowledge about the underlying mechanisms related to postural control in tracers is still lacking. AIM: To examine the postural control in tracers using global, structural, and spectral stabilometric descriptors. METHOD: Five tracers and five controls, all-male, stood upright for 30 seconds, under different conditions of vision (open or closed eyes), surface (soft or rigid), and base of support (bipedal, semi-tandem, or Parkour stance). RESULTS: In more challenging conditions, the tracers compared to controls, showed a lower amount of sway, needed less postural commands, and used sensory information to control balance differently. CONCLUSION: Tracers have better postural control than controls. Moreover, although current findings are based on data from a small number of subjects, the results suggest that these differences between groups are related to different underlying physiological and biomechanical mechanisms related to postural control.
