Background: A better understanding of plantar pressure while standing and walking would help in improving balance and gait performance across different age ranges. Objective: To clarify the differences of plantar pressure while standing and walking among children, adults, and the elderly. Materials and Methods: Fifty-three participants including eleven aged 3 to 8 years, thirty aged 20 to 40 years, and twelve aged 60 to 90 years were included in the present study. Plantar pressure and related parameters while quiet standing and walking with self-selected speed were assessed. Results: In static plantar pressure, no significant differences were observed of mean different pressure and mean different contact area between dominant and non-dominant limbs among the three groups, while center of pressure (COP) displacement was shown as significantly greater between children and adults (p<0.05). For dynamic plantar pressure, no significant differences in COP velocity were found among the three groups. The elderly showed significant lower normalized maximum plantar pressure in areas of the second and third metatarsal, and internal heel compared with the young adults (p<0.05). Additionally, normalized maximum plantar pressures among children seemed to differ from adults. Conclusion: Plantar pressure characteristics could indicate that children develop gait ability in braking and propulsion phases with greater heel and toe function, while the ability of braking and propulsion declined with aging. These could reflect balance ability while standing or walking. Keywords: Foot pressure; Children; Elderly; Normalization

Martial arts as the quintessence of the Chinese nation, after a thousand years of forging, its contents are rich and varied, the performance of a variety of forms, the value of its potential is enormous. This paper, regarding the action flying kick the as a starting point in competitive of martial arts, analysis the plantar pressure characteristics of action flying kick for martial arts athletes, and provided some quantization theory for the flying feet of jumping movements, give some suggestions in the process to jumping which may be injured. Firstly, this paper discussed the methods and steps for the analysis of the plantar pressure characteristics of action flying kick for martial arts athletes, summing up the process of the plantar pressure analysis and the experimental process. Then, the paper given six Jilin province martial arts athletes flying kick foot jump for bottom pressure test of the experimental results, and analyzed the experimental data in detail. By analyzing the experimental results, it can reveal regular pattern of the diversification of plantar pressure, so as to provide reference data for improving the effect of training and preventing injuries.
