Features of balance function and anthropometric data in athletes

The analysis of function of body balance stabilographic indicators and anthropometric data of researched subjects as well as correlations are handled. Non-athletes has the visual analyzer as leading element in maintaining the equilibrium of the body, whereas the athletes has in determining role the proprioceptive analyzer. At the same time, it found that the anthropometric data and strength characteristics of rate have a value in body balance regulation in both conditions with visual control and with the absence of visual information.
