The technical gestures characteristic of certain sports may lead to one type of foot being more prevalent than the others. The Foot Posture Index (FPI) has been used as a diagnostic tool for support postures in various sports, but the differences in these postures between sports of distinct gestures in their actions are far from completely understood.
The overall FPI, obtained as the sum of the scores of its six individual criteria, was determined in 90 male athletes (30 runners, 30 basketball players, and 30 handball players) in static bipedal stance and relaxed position. Analysis of variance was used to find significant differences among the three sports in the total FPI and its six criteria.
The mean ± SD FPI was 2.9 ± 2.8 in runners, 3.9 ± 4.1 in basketball players, and -0.4 ± 6.9 in handball players, with significant differences among these groups (P = .008). Significant differences were also found in the talar head position and talonavicular prominence values between handball players and runners (P = .001 and P = .004, respectively) and between handball and basketball players (P = .002 and P = .006, respectively).
Runners and basketball players had neutral feet, whereas handball players had supinated feet. The differences in foot posture seem to be mainly determined by two of the FPI criteria: talar head position and talonavicular prominence.
某些运动特有的技术动作可能导致某一种脚型比其他脚型更为普遍。足姿势指数（FPI）已被用作各种运动中支撑姿势的诊断工具，但对于动作姿势不同的运动之间这些姿势的差异，人们还远未完全了解。
在90名男性运动员（30名跑步运动员、30名篮球运动员和30名手球运动员）处于静态双足站立和放松姿势时，测定其作为六个独立标准得分总和的总体FPI。采用方差分析来找出这三项运动在总FPI及其六个标准方面的显著差异。
跑步运动员的平均±标准差FPI为2.9±2.8，篮球运动员为3.9±4.1，手球运动员为 -0.4±6.9，这些组之间存在显著差异（P = .008）。在手球运动员与跑步运动员之间（分别为P = .001和P = .004）以及手球运动员与篮球运动员之间（分别为P = .002和P = .006），距骨头位置和距舟突出值也存在显著差异。
跑步运动员和篮球运动员的脚为中立型，而手球运动员的脚为旋后型。脚姿势的差异似乎主要由FPI的两个标准决定：距骨头位置和距舟突出。
