TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Metabolic demands of slacklining in less and more advanced slackliners JO - European journal of sport science A1 - Baláš, Jiří A1 - Klaus, Jan A1 - Gajdošík, Jan A1 - Draper, Nick SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Balancing on a slackline is metabolically demanding and slackline training is suitable not only to develop neuromuscular control but also to meet cardiovascular fitness demands.Improved postural control demonstrated by skilled slackliners reduces by ∼25% metabolic cost of balancing tasks on a slackline when compared to less skilled counterparts.Falls during slacklining increase the metabolic demands of the activity. Three falls per minute during walking on a slackline increase the oxygen uptake by ∼50%.
