Balance abilities of junior ice hockey players
The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, 2021Postural control is required during various fast-paced and offensive ice hockey actions, and therefore seems to be an important component in ice hockey performance.Data were collected from two ice hockey teams with differing performance levels. The higher-performance team consisted of 26 players (with ages of 16.3±0.9 y, heights of 178.26±6.71 cm, and ...

Balance Abilities of Professional Dancers on Select Balance Tests
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 1996Documentation that dancers have better balance abilities than nondancers is important because of the number of dancers who sustain injury and then are referred to physical therapists for treatment. The purpose of this study was to compare balance abilities of professional dancers with nondancers on selected balance conditions.

Reading and a Balanced Polymorphism for Laterality and Ability
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 1990Abstract The idea that reading ability might vary with right‐left hand skill, such that children with mild biases to the right hand have advantages for learning, while children at both left and right extremes have disadvantages, was supported by findings for a large sample of primary schoolchildren. Poor readers

Dynamic and Static Balancing Ability of Preschool Children
Journal of Motor Behavior, 1971Performance differences in dynamic and static balance ability of 150 preschool Ss aged 3,4, and 5 yr. were studied. Ss performed 4 balance-beam tasks and 2 balance-board tasks. An Age by Sex (3 × 2) factorial, design employing both univariate and multivariate ANOVA techniques were the statistics used.

Balancing the Costs and Benefits of Learning Ability
Advances in Artificial Life, ECAL 2013, 2013We study the costs and benefits of plasticity by evolving agents in environments with different rates of environmental change. Evolution allows both hard-coded strategies and learned strategies, with learning rates varying throughout life. We observe a range of change rates where the balance of costs and benefits are just right for evolving learning ...

Review of tests of standing balance abilities
Brain Injury, 1989This review examines tests of standing balance abilities in patients with traumatic brain injury. Patients may compensate for vestibular dysfunction by using other sensory systems. As a result, subtle deficits in balance abilities may not be detected by traditional tests.

Quantitative measures of a robot’s physical ability to balance
The International Journal of Robotics Research, 2016This paper presents quantitative measures of a robot’s physical ability to balance itself actively on a single point, line or area of support. These measures express the ratio of a change in the state of motion of the robot’s center of mass to the amount of action required at the actuated joints in order to produce that change. They therefore represent

Balance and dyslexia: An investigation of adults’ abilities
European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2006Balance ability in dyslexia is an issue of considerable theoretical and applied significance, but the literature currently lacks consensus. This study applied objective measures to established balance tasks. 17 dyslexic adults and 20 controls matched for age and IQ undertook the heel-to-toe balance test for 1 minute. Further “dual task” tests were also
