Abstract: The Author(s) 2014. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com I read the review by Zemkova ́ [1], entitled Sport-Specific Balance, with great interest. This is an important research area that may contribute to a better understanding of the postural control system under various sport performance requirements. The main objectives of this review were to analyse the effects of various types of exercise on balance perfor-mance, and to provide new insights into the underlying physiological mechanisms that contribute to these effects. To this end, Zemkova ́ [1] investigated the postural sway response to different forms of exercise under laboratory and sport-specific conditions to examine how this effect can vary with expertise, and to provide examples of the association of impaired balance with sport performance
