Evaluation of the Use of Postural Control Strategies during Dual-Tasks of Hearing-Impaired Athletes

Dual-tasks are often used with postural control. These tasks, which generally target motor skills and cognitive performance, also help to determine the individual’s The purpose of this study is changes in performance during task, includes cues hearing-impaired athletes. A total 31 athletes (male=19, female=12) 34 sedentary people (male=18, female=16) were included voluntarily study. FitLight Trainer™ system was participants’ reaction time levels. male significantly lower than men each three tests (Random Test: t = 4, 089, p <0.05; Cue 3,551, Mixed 2, 393, p<0.05). female statistically that females for all protocols t=2,586, p<0,05; t=2,568, p<0.05; t=2,899, This demonstrates 1) perform control adjustments automatically they require minimal less effort need be minimally considered; 2) regular physical activities training showed a positive development on other systems, especially proprioceptive system, controls balance. In future studies, dual-task values strategy comparisons should measured among who do not have hearing disability.
