Differences in postural control have been found between levels of expertise. However, this statement remains unanswered in some cyclic sports. This work aimed to describe the one-leg balance performance of a sample of elite BMX riders\u2014racing and freestyle\u2014compared to a control group formed by recreational athletes. The center of pressure (COP) of nineteen international BMX riders (freestyle, n = 7; racing, n = 12) and twenty physically active adults was analyzed in a 30-s one-leg stance test on both legs. COP dispersion and velocity variables were analyzed. Non-linear dynamics of postural sway were evaluated through Fuzzy Entropy and Detrended Fluctuation Analysis. BMX athletes did not show differences between legs in any of the variables. The control group did show differences between the dominant and non-dominant leg in the magnitude of variability of the COP in the mediolateral axis. Group comparison revealed non-significant differences. International BMX athletes did not show better balance parameters than the control group in a one-leg stance balance task. The adaptations derived from BMX practice do not have a significant impact in one-leg stance balance performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfmk8010025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,17]],"date-time":"2023-02-17T01:32:56Z","timestamp":1676597576000},"page":"25","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["One-Leg Stance Postural Sway Is Not Benefited by Bicycle Motocross Practice in Elite Riders"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6098-9565","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Albaladejo-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Research Centre, Department of Sport Sciences, Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University, 03202 Elche, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2520-892X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco J.","family":"Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Research Centre, Department of Sport Sciences, Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University, 03202 Elche, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6112-8065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fernando","family":"Garc\u00eda-Aguilar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Research Centre, Department of Sport Sciences, Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University, 03202 Elche, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7624-232X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carla","family":"Caballero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Research Centre, Department of Sport Sciences, Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University, 03202 Elche, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.15314\/TJSE.201416111","article-title":"Comparision of dynamic and static balance in adolescents handball and soccer players","volume":"16","author":"Karadenizli","year":"2014","journal-title":"Turk.
