Plasticity of the postural function to sport and/or motor experience.
TLDR
Mechanistic explanations as well as conceptual models are proposed to explain how postural adaptations operate according to the nature of physical activities and the context in which they are practiced aswell as the level of motor expertise of individuals.About:

Comparison Of Standing Balance Between Female Collegiate Dancers And Soccer Players: 438 Board #29 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
TL;DR: These data show that standing balance characteristics of dancers and soccer players can be objectively measured using center of pressure data and can be used as a tool in future studies investigating standing balance in different groups of athletes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship Between Sport Expertise and Postural Skills.
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that the most successful athletes in terms of sport competition level have the best postural performance both in ecological and non-ecological postural conditions.

Balance Training Programs in Athletes - a Systematic Review.
Anna Brachman,Anna Kamieniarz,Justyna Michalska,Michał Pawłowski,Kajetan J. Słomka,Grzegorz Juras +5 more
TL;DR: The analyses including papers in which training protocols demonstrated positive effects on balance performance suggest that an efficient training protocol should last for 8 weeks, with a frequency of two training sessions per week, and a single training session of 45 min.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between Muscle Function, Muscle Typology and Postural Performance According to Different Postural Conditions in Young and Older Adults.
TL;DR: In older subjects, muscle strength and/or power training contributes to reducing the risk of falls, as well as slowing down the involution of muscle typology regarding type II muscle fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle plasticity of aged subjects in response to electrical stimulation training and inversion and/or limitation of the sarcopenic process.
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that the sarcopenic process and its structural and functional effects would be limited and/or reversed through NMES training using excito-motor currents (or direct currents).

The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of expert performance.
TL;DR: A theoretical framework is proposed that explains expert performance in terms of acquired characteristics resulting from extended deliberate practice and that limits the role of innate (inherited) characteristics to general levels of activity and emotionality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postural Orientation and Equilibrium: What Do We Need to Know About Neural Control of Balance to Prevent Falls?
TL;DR: The effective rehabilitation of balance to improve mobility and to prevent falls requires a better understanding of the multiple mechanisms underlying postural control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in force, cross-sectional area and neural activation during strength training and detraining of the human quadriceps
TL;DR: Hypertrophy produced by strength training accounts for 40% of the increase in force while the remaining 60% seems to be attributable to an increased neural drive and possibly to changes in muscle architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postural control system
TL;DR: The postural control system has two main functions: first, to build up posture against gravity and ensure that balance is maintained; and second, to fix the orientation and position of the segments that serve as a reference frame for perception and action with respect to the external world.
