Investigation of the Relationship between Postural Static Balance and Body Mass Index on Air Guns and Fire Guns Shooters

Purpose of this study, investigation of the relationship between static balance and body mass index on air guns and fire guns shooters.17 healthy high level shootersparticipated in the study whose8 male (age=20,11±0,9yr; height=176,8±6,6 m; mass=23,9±2,8 kg) female (age=20,25±1,16 yr; height=161,25±1,75m; mass=22,37±1,9 kg). Static postural control was assessed using the BiodexBalance System, with a 5 platform level in 30sec. the test values were 3 times performed. Body Mass Index measured by TANITA 3000 Analyzer. Postural static balance control was found to be no correlated with BMI in both groups. (P>0,05) Female air guns shooters balance index meaningful than male air guns shooters (P<0,05). This study revealed that BMI doesn’t have an impact on postural control on air guns shooters. However, female displayed a trend of having a greater postural statics balance than male shooters.
