| Description | The article is focused on plantar pressure research among grammar school girls. We analyzed measured plantar pressure and contact area data and we tried consequently to find any statistical and logical relationship between sports activities girls do and state of their feet represented by relative pressure values and relative size of contact areas of several foot regions. We wanted to determine which of sports activities, exercise surface or sports shoe seems to have the worst effect on foot arches represented by plantar pressure distribution and relative size of contact area. |
