title: The relationship between morphological indicators of human body and posture.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Posture and Stability Control is a process of maintaining balance and position of the body and its parts in a constantly changing environment. It is an important regulatory mechanism of the body, because it precedes movement, is upon the completion of which this system tries to maintain the body position.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this long term study is to determinate by special testing which morphological indicators and how influence postural stability and its control.
  
  
  METHODS
  This study used testing with NeuroCom Balance-12 protocols, anthropometric measuring - 32 values, anamnestic questionnaire. For this article we analyzed one chosen protocol: Weight Bearing Squat Test.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In this research, 41 individuals took part in it. 22 (53.66 %) were female, 19 (46.34 %) were male. Interesting statistically significant coherences were discovered during analysis of Weight Bearing Squat protocol on level p < 0.01, p < 0.05 and the Student's two-optional T-test proved statistically significantly higher values of Left Body Weight erect position and Left Body Weight 30 degrees knee flexion in men in comparison with women.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This study shows us a direction and we may consider it a convenient base for more specific continuation in this problematic area.
