Description

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of a transient 2-minute tightrope walking exercise on the tightrope walking distance, total locus length, unit locus length, unit area locus length, and environmental area. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 12 males. For the balance exercise, a 4-m-long tightrope was set at a height of 30 cm and the setup was tested by a 2-min barefoot traverse of the tightrope to ensure that there was no chance of slipping. A stabilometer was used to assess balance via postural sway parameters of two- and one-legged standing over 15 sec with the eyes open and closed. [Results] After the exercise, the total locus length and locus length per unit area of one-legged standing on the right foot with both the eyes open and closed significantly decreased. For the left foot, total locus length and locus length per unit area significantly decreased for the eyes open condition, while the perimeter of the locus area significantly increased. [Conclusion] The tightrope walking exercise affected the static balance of one-legged standing.
