Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare balance ability in air rifle athletes according to the gender. In this study, the subject were consisted of the 8 female and 8 male air rifle athletes. The displacement of center of pressure (COP ) and total force (TF) was measured with wireless foot pressure equipment (Moticon, Germany). The results revealed no significant difference between the gender; COP of medial-lateral (ML) in the left and right foot, COP of anterior-posterior (AP) in the left and right foot, TF of left and right foot, (p>.05). In the all phase, male athletes was lower total force of left and right foot then the female athletes. In conclusion, air rifle athletes was no difference COP, and total force according to the gender.

Moticon's Summary

This study compared balance ability between male and female air rifle athletes using Moticon's wireless foot pressure measurement insoles (OpenGo). Center of pressure (COP) displacement and total force (TF) were measured. The results indicated no significant gender-based differences in COP (medial-lateral and anterior-posterior for both feet) and total force for each foot, although male athletes showed lower total force in both feet across all phases.
