As I continue this 20 time project, I have been able to incorporate what I've learned in class into this research. The proprioceptors sit in nerves at the end of joints and relay messages about balance and body movement to the spine. Also, there are two types of balance; dynamic and static balance. Dynamic balance involves the body's ability to maintain center of gravity while moving, and static balance is the body's ability to maintain its center of gravity while standing still.
I have continued to survey people's balancing abilities, by timing how long they can stand on one foot with their eyes closed both with and without shoes. I also am recording which test was easier for them. This will give me a better understanding of what types of people have better balance. For example, what sports increase balance or mentally strenuous activities such as speech and debate can help the vestibular system's stability.
As we begin to wrap up our 20 time project, I will be collecting all of my data into graphs that will help easily describe my results. to prove these outcomes in my own life I will record more videos that show how I have personally improved my balance through strengthening activities and mental improvement.
