Postural stability is essential for injury prevention and performance. Differences between genders may affect training focus.
To examine static and dynamic postural stability in male and female soldiers.
Descriptive laboratory study.
Biomechanics laboratory.
25 healthy female soldiers (26.4 ± 5.3 y) and 25 healthy male soldiers (26.4 ± 4.9 y) matched on physical demand rating and years of service from the Army's 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).
Each person underwent static and dynamic postural stability testing.
Standard deviation of the ground reaction forces during static postural stability and the dynamic stability index for dynamic postural stability.
Female soldiers had significantly better static postural stability than males but no differences were observed in dynamic postural stability.
Postural stability is important for injury prevention, performance optimization, and tactical training. The differences observed in the current study may indicate the need for gender-specific training emphasis on postural stability.
姿势稳定性对于预防损伤和提高运动表现至关重要。性别差异可能会影响训练重点。
研究男女士兵的静态和动态姿势稳定性。
描述性实验室研究。
生物力学实验室。
来自陆军第101空降师(空中突击)的25名健康女性士兵(26.4±5.3岁)和25名健康男性士兵(26.4±4.9岁),他们在体能需求评级和服役年限方面相匹配。
每个人都接受了静态和动态姿势稳定性测试。
静态姿势稳定性期间地面反作用力的标准差和动态姿势稳定性的动态稳定性指数。
女性士兵的静态姿势稳定性明显优于男性,但在动态姿势稳定性方面未观察到差异。
姿势稳定性对于预防损伤、优化运动表现和战术训练很重要。本研究中观察到的差异可能表明需要针对性别制定姿势稳定性训练重点。
