| Description | In this study we compared, intra and inter group, force differences in four age groups of healthy adult Czech women. Subjects were according to their age divided into four groups, A=18-30 years, B= 31-45 years, C= 46-60 years and D=60+ years. Data were collected in laboratory condition on Bertec force plates as a display of ground reaction force vector. Each subject performed 5 attempts of normal walk. Followed forces were maximal force characteristics F1, F2, F3 (N) and average force characteristics Fm, Fm1, Fm2 (N) as well as their recalculation into percentage of body weight. No statistically significant differences were found between groups, or in each specific group. |
