The purpose of this study was to compare body balance in road and off-road cyclists,
immediately before and after the racing season.
Material/Methods: Twenty individuals participated in the study and they were divided into two groups:
specialists in road-cycling (n = 10) and in off-road cycling (n = 10). Immediately before
and after the five-month racing season stabilographic trials were carried out (at rest
and after progressive exercise). In assessing body balance the distance and velocity
of the centre shifts (in the anterior-posterior and left-right direction) were analysed.
The tests were performed with the cyclists’ eyes open, eyes closed, and in feedback.
Results: After the racing season, in the off-road cyclists’ group, distance and velocity of the
centre of pressure shifts increased after a progressive exercise.
Conclusions: In the off-road cyclists’ group the balance of the body in the sagittal plane deteriorated
after the racing season. Moreover, after the racing season off-road cyclists were
characterized by a worse balance of the body, compared to road cyclists.
