Fig 2. Changes in neuromuscular activation and postural sway in response to both interventions.
(B) Changes in thigh (upper row) and shank (middle row) CCIs as well as COPml/postural sway (bottom row) in response to the training interventions SMT (grey square) and RBT (black triangle) in (A) the three different test paradigms on the spinning top (ST, left column), on the swinging platform (SP, middle column) and during the transfer condition with cognitive interference (CI, right column). Adaptations in all parameters were greater in the SMT-group than in the RBT-group for ST, whereas during SP, adaptations were greater in the RBT-group than in the SMT-group. For CI, a greater reduction in COPml displacement was observed in the RBT-group: it is assumed that the higher decrease in thigh CCI (dashed box) led to the better functional balance performance.
