At the same time, both static and dynamic stability tests
did not correspond directly to the motor tasks engaged
throughout the training period. Nonetheless, both static and
dynamic stability tests (including eyes-closed condition
during the static test) revealed a significant improvement
of postural control after the training period in all participants.
It has been earlier shown that during static postural
stability test, RDIST and AREA-CE can be related to the
effectiveness of, or the stability achieved by, the postural
control system; and MVELO has been related to the amount
of regulatory activity associated with this level of stability.21–23
The increased AREA-SZ on the other hand has been related to
an enhancement of muscle strength.24 Consequently, we can
also assume a non-specific effect of the training on the
postural control mechanisms after our balance training
program.
