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 (girls n = 21, height M = 166.37, SD = 5.36; boys n = 19, height M = 179.05, SD = 7.57). Their dynamic postural stability was measured using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) carried out in eight directions. The level of dynamic postural stability (DPS) was characterized by descriptive statistics. The laterality between the right and left standing foot wasassessed 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) and complex postural stability (CPS) in boys andgirls between dominant (DLS) and non-dominant (NLS) standing foot in terms of mean, maximum and even relative values (p = n. s). The largest movement ranges in terms of average values were seen in boys and girls in both standing legs in the dorsal direction in theposteromedial, posterior, posterolateral, lateral in the medial direction and in the anteromedial front direction. The contribution is part of the research task VEGA 1/0460/23 Postural health in children and adolescents and the possibility of influencing it.
