The DDR[R] trained group showed significant improvement in the average displacement from the force plate platform center on the y-axis, as well as, the average deviation of the center of pressure (COP) from the y centroid of the base of support (BOS) at (p = 0.
[FIGURE 2 OMITTED] Outcome Measures and Statistics The primary outcome measure was the mean velocity of the center of pressure (COP) displacements in millimeters per second.
All these forces--lift, drag, gravity and wind thrust come together to act at one special place called the center of pressure.
