Table 3 Evolution, odd ratio (OR) and significance for center of pressure parameters of Surface (Surf), Length (Lg), mean medio-lateral (X) and antero-posterior (Y) projections of COP during eyes opened test for the low, middle and high levels of balance groups

From: Relationship between a three-month physical conditioning “posture-balance-motricity and health education” (PBM-HE) program on postural and balance capacities of sedentary older adults: influence of initial motor profile
