Previous reports showed that athletes without disabilities have better postural skills than their sedentary peers. This finding has not been elucidated in athletes with intellectual disabilities despite their decreased postural balance. This study aims to investigate static postural balance in track and field athletes with intellectual disabilities compared to their sedentary peers.
Eighteen track and field athletes with intellectual disabilities (23.5 ± 4.52 years) and 18 sedentary peers (20.3 ± 3.4 years) participated in this study. A stabilometric platform was used to assess static postural balance in bipedal and unipedal stances with open (OE) and closed (CE) eyes.
In OE, the result showed significantly better static postural balance (CoP : p < .001; CoP : p < .001) in athletes compared to the sedentary ones in both stances. In CE, this difference was not observed in the unipedal stance.
Track and field experience may improve static postural balance in athletes with intellectual disabilities, mainly when visual input is available.
先前的报告表明，与久坐不动的同龄人相比，非残疾运动员的姿势技能更好。尽管智障运动员的姿势平衡能力下降，但这一发现尚未在智障运动员中得到阐明。本研究旨在比较智障田径运动员与久坐不动的同龄人之间的静态姿势平衡。
18 名智障田径运动员（23.5±4.52 岁）和 18 名久坐不动的同龄人（20.3±3.4 岁）参加了这项研究。使用平衡台评估了闭眼睁眼状态下的双脚和单脚姿势的静态姿势平衡。
在睁眼状态下，运动员在双脚和单脚姿势下的姿势平衡（CoP：p<.001；CoP：p<.001）明显优于久坐不动的同龄人。在闭眼状态下，这种差异在单脚姿势下没有观察到。
田径运动经验可能会提高智障运动员的静态姿势平衡，尤其是在有视觉输入的情况下。
