Restoring and maintaining equilibrium in different elements of gymnastics have dominant significance in certain phases. Posturography interests coaches of gymnastics being a type of sports requiring high accuracy equilibrium. The aim of our present study is to examine equilibrium in model-situations: in traditional and sharpened Romberg position. The examination included the situation with closed feet, too. The circle of subjects in the experiment is the Hungarian national male team of gymnastics: 10 persons. (Age 18-24.) Measurements were carried out with a force platform hype Adam/, whose output signals were used to determine continuously the centre of mass ofthe subject.
