A resistive sensor baropodometric platform was used to analyze a group of amateur athletes. The data collected concern statics, dynamics and posturography (stabilometric analysis). The aid of videography helped the operators to empirically evaluate the postural attitude of the subject as a whole. In a second laboratory, all the athletes were subjected to a test on a baropodometric treadmill at an average speed of 8 km / h. The baropodometric platform and the treadmill version of the same are pressure sensitive devices, very intuitive for the collection of objective data.
