Body Composition and Postural Stability in Goalkeepers of the Polish National Junior Handball Team

Abstract: Introduction. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the body composition and postural stability of goalkeepers representing the Polish National Junior Handball Team. Material and methods. Body composition was assessed by means of bioelectrical impedance analysis. Postural stability was examined using the AccuGait AMTI force platform. Results. The body composition of the subjects was correct. All of the subjects had very good postural stability. Postural sway was higher in the sagittal pla… Show more

“…The goalkeeper's stable posture requires neuromuscular control, including maintaining the optimal tone of postural muscles and the position of the center of gravity in the correct alignment. This gives goalkeepers the freedom of movement and locomotion in different directions and the ability to jump and dive for the ball [21][22][23][24]. High-class goalkeepers are characterized by more effective neuromuscular coordination.…”
