摘要

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the static and dynamic balance performance in college students and Kendo athletes. Methods: Twelve kendo team students and 24 students from students electing physical education courses volunteered to participate in this study. Each participants completed the one-leg stance test, sensory organization test (SOT), rhythmic weight shift and sustained weight shift tests at the beginning of the semester. A stop watch was used to record the number of seconds of the one-leg stance. A dynamic posturographic equipment including a movable visual frame, a movable stance platform and a computer system (Smart Balance Master system, NeuroCom International Inc., USA) was used for the other balance tests. Twelve age and gender matched students from the physical education courses were selected to serve as the comparison group for data analysis. Results: The results of one-leg standing test, SOT, rhythmic weight shift test and sustained weight shift test in the kendo group were similar to the control group (p＞0.05). In the SOT, the equilibrium scores were lower in the conditions when the stance platform swayed simultaneously witht the subject's own sway than when the standing surface was stable. The movement velocity, direction control ability, end point excursion and maximal excursions during the sustained weight shift test were influenced significantly by the weight shift directions. Discussion: The results showed that the balance ability was no different between our group of kendo athletes from common students. Whether this result demonstrate the lack of effect of kendo training on balance, or that the college kendo athletes lacks sufficient training intensity than professional kendo players to have shown an improvement in balance ability remains to be clarified.
