Summary/Abstract: At work, we refer to the level of dynamic postural stability (DPS) in students at the Sports Mid-school in Nitra. The research sample consisted of athletes from the sports mid-school in Nitra (girlsn = 21, height M = 166.37, SD = 5.36; boys n = 19, height M = 179.05, SD = 7.57). Their dynamicpostural stability was measured using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) carried out in eightdirections. The level of dynamic postural stability (DPS) was characterized by descriptive statistics.The laterality between the right and left standing foot was assessed by a t-test and a Cohen’s “d”.The statistical significance of the differences was assessed at a 5% significance level.The results did not show differences in the laterality of dynamic postural stability (DPS) andcomplex postural stability (CPS) in boys and girls between dominant (DLS) and non-dominant (NLS)standing foot in terms of mean, maximum and even relative values (p = n. s). The largest move-ment ranges in terms of average values were seen in boys and girls in both standing legs in thedorsal direction in the posteromedial, posterior, posterolateral, lateral in the medial direction andin the anteromedial front direction.The contribution is part of the research task VEGA 1 / 0460 / 23 Postural health in children andadolescents and the possibility of influencing it.
