(1) Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in the static and dynamic distribution of foot pressure on the ground and to investigate the relationships between body mass index (BMI) and mean variables of plantar pressure between soccer players and their non-athlete peers. (2) Methods: The study involved 18 first-division Polish soccer players and 30 non-athlete physiotherapy students. The research experiment was conducted using the FreeMed platform. Basic descriptive statistics were calculated to summarize the variables. Additionally, in the static and dynamic tests, Spearman's rank correlations between body mass index (BMI) and plantar load were calculated. (3) Results: Statistically significant differences between groups were observed in the loading of the dominant limb. A statistically significant correlation between BMI and loading of both limbs was found in the static test and between BMI and loading of the dominant limb in the dynamic test. (4) Conclusions: The baropodometric mat used in our study helped determine the plantar pressure distribution of soccer players and their non-athlete peers. Correlation analysis revealed that BMI was only associated with the mean plantar pressure of the dominant limb in the control group. Further research on a larger group of athletes is needed to determine how much sporting activity may affect the development to modifications within feet in soccer players.
(1) 背景：本研究旨在评估足球运动员与非运动员同行之间地面静态和动态足底压力分布的差异，并研究体重指数（BMI）与足底压力均值变量之间的关系。(2) 方法：该研究纳入了 18 名波兰甲级足球运动员和 30 名非运动员理疗学生。研究实验使用了 FreeMed 平台进行。使用基本描述性统计来总结变量。此外，在静态和动态测试中，计算了 BMI 和足底负荷之间的 Spearman 等级相关系数。(3) 结果：在优势肢的负荷方面，组间存在统计学显著差异。在静态测试中，BMI 与双肢负荷之间存在统计学显著相关性，在动态测试中，BMI 与优势肢负荷之间存在相关性。(4) 结论：本研究中使用的足底压力测量垫有助于确定足球运动员和非运动员同行的足底压力分布。相关分析表明，BMI 仅与对照组中优势肢的平均足底压力相关。需要对更大的运动员群体进行进一步研究，以确定运动活动量对足球运动员足部结构变化的影响程度。
