Substantiation of the need for physical training programs correction based on stabilometry data

Abstract

Objective: to determine the level of coherence between visual, vestibular, proprioceptive analyzers and muscular control in students with the use of static motor-cognitive tests with biological feedback, and also the attention level during visual or mixed control of the center of pressure on the footplate with biological feedback. Materials and methods: 63 students from first three years of education aged from17 to 22 years (mean age - 19,5±2,5) were examined. We believe that the quantitative evaluation of test results with stabilometric method allows to obtain objective data on the state of equilibrium function in participants and to increase accuracy of movements (ship handling) due to objectification of parameters of office functions performance. Finally we can develop reasonable recommendations for improving of the training sessions effectiveness for students of each year of study. The force plate ST-150 which allows to measure the parameters of the trajectory of displacement of the coordinates of the center of body mass was used. Results were presented for each student in the form of a graphic image using the software of a stabilometric platform ST-150 platform. The static test included two phases. The first phase consisted in testing with open eyes with monitor control of the general center of body mass that allows to estimate influence of a visual analizator on equilibrium function. The second phase was conducted with closed eyes. In each of these phases students were tested in two foot positions: 1) main stand (Romberg’s test with European foot position «socks separately»); 2) stand in case of which the sock-heel lines of each leg are parallel (Romberg’s test with American foot position). Conclusions: significant deviations of equilibrium function of senior students of Academy of the water transport were detected. It requires the development of new models and physical training programs for the students to increase their statokinetic and vestibular stability during teaching and educational work.
