“…Analysing balance and equilibrium requires developed benchmarks and normative indicators. This was the purpose of this study [46] Another study [47] examined gender differences in postural balance, physical activity, BMI, and body composition in athletes with visual impairment. The Clinical Sensory Integration and Balance Test was used to assess postural balance.…”

Background and Study Aim. Monitoring the condition of athletes is one of the leading tasks in sports science. Predicting success and skill growth is an integral part of monitoring. The fulfillment of this task requires the use of modern methods and the sensory integration analysis occupies an important place. The purpose of this article is to analyze publications on sensory integration and identify priority research areas in this field. Material and Methods. The bibliometric database Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) was analyzed. 388 sources that met the search criteria for 2013-2023 were selected for primary analysis. Bibliometric methods were used for processing the obtained information. The program VOSviewer 1.6.18 was used for keyword analysis and direct citation analysis with the construction of bibliometric maps, visualization of cluster density, and weight – citations. Results. The leading publication categories in WoS were Neurosciences, Sport Sciences, Psychology, Psychology Experimental, Physiology, Rehabilitation. The distribution of publications by years was fairly evenly. Most publications were related to Germany and the USA. The most frequent institutions were German Sport University Cologne, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Shanghai University of Sport, Institute National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale Inserm, University of Freiburg. The most cited authors were identified. The constructed bibliometric maps allowed us to identify the leading thematic areas of research and current research directions in the field. The two most important clusters were identified. The largest cluster reflects research on balance and posture and the use of special exercises for rehabilitation in different population groups. The second cluster includes the most significant keyword in the whole map – "sensorimotor integration". The works reflect studies of sensorimotor integration, the study of movement features, and coordination and control of movement at different levels. Conclusions. The conducted bibliometric analysis of publications confirms the relevance of sensorimotor integration. A stable interest in this problem has been determined. Research in this area has neurophysiological, sports-recreational, and medical-rehabilitation directions. Neurophysiological research is aimed at analyzing balance and equilibrium and the application of various tests and functional samples. The sport context studies sensory integration in different sports. Recreational publications have investigated sensory integration as a criterion of health. The therapeutic and rehabilitation focus explores the use of sensory integration as a criterion for treatment and rehabilitation. A characteristic feature is the intersection of these directions. There is a lack of studies devoted to sensory integration in sport dancing. There is a lack of studies aimed at studying the psychophysiological state. These types of research should be assessed as relevant.

Background and Study Aim. The study of functional asymmetry in students and schoolchildren practicing martial arts using a computer test. Material and Methods. The study involved students and schoolchildren (n = 38) practicing the martial arts (taekwondo, karate). Participants were divided into groups according to the sports’ skill level. The first group included experienced athletes (n = 15, age – 19.00 ± 0.45 years). The second group included beginners (n = 23, age - 9.78 ± 0.65 years). The functional asymmetry was determined using «Reaction SM Dual» software for tablets with iOS. Two visual tests were used. The duration of each test was 100 s. Each test was divided into 5 stages. Each stage lasts 20 s. The first test (simple reaction) – the participant pushes against the circles on the screen with two hands. The second test (differentiated reaction) – the participant pushes against the circles of the same color (out of five possible) on the screen. The following indicators were determined: the number of pushes with the right and left hand (abs); reaction time with the right and left hand (s); duration of pushes with the right and left hand (ms). It was estimated the following indicators: total number of pushes; average reaction time; average duration of pushes. Results are estimated using parametric and nonparametric statistical indicators. Results. The number of pushes in the test, the reaction rate, and the duration of pushes were significantly higher in experienced athletes. It was determined the asymmetry due to the lower duration of pushes with the right hand compared to the left hand in beginners. The asymmetry was not confirmed in experienced athletes. The reaction rate for the left hand significantly increased compared to stage 1 in beginners: at stage 2 (t = -2.41), at stage 3 (t = -2.23), at stage 4 (t = -2.30) and at stage 5 (t = -2.68). This dependency was less expressed for the right hand. It was confirmed the increase of the reaction rate in comparison with stage 1: at stage 3 (t = -2.39), at stage 4 (t = -2.00) and at stage 5 (t = -2.32). The differences in the dynamics of the test were more expressed in experienced athletes. It was determined the decrease in the number of pushes compared to stage 1: stage 2 (t = 2.53), stage 4 (t = 2.89) and stage 5 (t = 2.61). For the right hand, this pattern was more expressed. The decrease in the number of pushes was determined compared with stage 1: stage 2 (t = 2.17), stage 3 (t = 2.07), stage 4 (t = 2.39) and stage 5 (t = 2.94). Experienced athletes have confirmed significant changes in the reaction rate with their left hand compared to stage 1: stage 4 (t = -2.33) and stage 5 (t = -2.06). For the right hand, this pattern was confirmed only for the final stage of the test (t = -2.35). Conclusions. It was confirmed the legitimacy of using a special computer test to study functional asymmetry in students and schoolchildren practicing martial arts. The test division into several stages can significantly increase the information content of the results. The applied battery of indicators provides the necessary information for the analysis of asymmetry. It was determined the best functional condition of experienced athletes compared to beginners. Experienced athletes demonstrate the best ability to mobilize and concentrate on extreme conditions. The dynamics of the test also confirms the asymmetry in athletes with less training experience. Performing a test with a differentiated stimulus confirmed the revealed patterns. The lack of asymmetry in experienced athletes confirms optimal training tactics. The asymmetry in beginners stipulates the correction of training. Used computer test can be recommended for martial arts athletes’ condition monitoring.
