Purpose. The study evaluates the effect of task-oriented sensorimotor exercise on visual feedback control of body position and parameters of static and dynamic balance. Basic procedures. A group of 20 PE students (aged 21.5 ± 1.6 years, height 178.2 ± 10.6 cm, and weight 74.5 ± 11.8 kg) performed task-oriented sensorimotor exercise (20 sets of 60 stimuli with 2 min rest in-between). They had to hit the target randomly appearing in one of the corners of the screen by horizontal shifting of COM in appropriate direction. Response time, distance, and velocity of COP trajectory were registered during standing on unstable spring-supported platform equipped with PC system for feedback monitoring of COM movement. Postural stability was evaluated under both static and dynamic conditions (wobble board). The COP velocity was registered at 100 Hz by means of the posturography system FiTRO Sway Check based on dynamometric platform. Main findings. Mean response time significantly (p ≤ 0.01) decreased from 3100.5 ± 1019.8 ms to 1745.8 ± 584.5 ms. Substantial share of the improvements took place during initial 6 trials. At the same time also mean distance of COP movement significantly (p ≤ 0.05) decreased from 0.767 ± 0.340 m to 0.492 ± 0.190 m within initial 12 trials and then slightly increased up to 0.591 ± 0.247 m. On the other hand, mean COP velocity significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased from 0.285 ± 0.142 m/s to 0.395 ± 0.182 m/s. However, there were no changes in the COP velocity registered in static (from 12.4 ± 1.8 mm/s to 11.9 ± 1.5 mm/s) and dynamic conditions (from 108.0 ± 22.3 mm/s to 101.3 ± 18.1 mm/s). Conclusions. Task-oriented sensorimotor exercise acutely enhances visual feedback control of body position but not static and dynamic balance.

Purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of maximal rebound jumping on sensorimotor tasks that required visual feedback control in positioning the body. Methods. A group of 14 university students (age 23.7 ± 2.6 y, height 178.6 ± 9.2 cm, and weight 70.6 ± 11.4 kg) had to hit a target that randomly appeared on one side of a screen by horizontally shifting their centre of mass (COM) in the appropriate direction prior to (as a baseline) and after six 60-second maximal jump exercises. Each response test consisted of 60 targets. The time, distance, and the velocity of the centre of pressure (COP) trajectory between the stimulus's appearance and its hit, by visually-guiding the COM movement on the screen, were registered by means of a FiTRO Sway Check system using a dynamometric platform. During the sets of jumps, the power of the concentric phase of take off was registered using a FiTRO Jumper recorder. Results. Results found that after each set of jumping (of around 110 jumps per set), mean response time significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased from an initial value of 1616 ± 506 ms to 1825 ± 562 ms till the 4th set, with no further increase towards the 6th set. Similarly, the mean distance of COP covered during the response time increased significantly (p ≤ 0.05) from a pre-exercise value of 0.449 ± 0.298 m to 0.550 ± 0.295 m after the 4th set which then plateaued towards the 6th set. However, no significant changes in mean COP velocity were detected. Conclusion. Rebound jumping negatively affected the visual feedback control in positioning the body. However, after the proprioceptive functions deteriorated to a certain level, there was no further impairment on sensorimotor parameters.
