Balance analysis in adolescents based on a motion capture platform
Keywords:
Balance, Inertial and magnetic sensors, Biomechanical, Intervention program, GymnasticsAbstract
An assessment of the level of balance in adolescents was done, using motion capture technologies (IMOCAP). The sample was 7 peoples, to whom a pre-test and then a post-test and intervention program were applied. The duration of the intervention program was 11 weeks, with a weekly basic gymnastics’ session of 120 minutes. A diagnosis of anthropometric factors was carried out on characteristics such as size, with an average of 1.62 cm. (SD = 0.059), weight, with an average of 54.12 kg. (SD = 6.89) and age, with an average of 15 years with SD = 1.11. Consecutively, a pre-test for static balance was applied, using IMOCAP. An intervention program was designed, with the aim of improving corporal stability. Afterwards, the post-test was applied using IMOCAP. There was an improvement in the execution of basic gymnastic movements and greater stability was perceived. This was confirmed by the results registered by the instructor and the measurements generated by IMOCAP, which indicated a lesser degree of inclination and rotation of the torso in the post-test (+/- 7.35° and 3.7° on average) for the three body axes. Most of the basic gymnastic movements help to improve body stability, corroborated by a high-precision, reliable platform with quantifiable result-delivery.
