Postural orientation, what to expect in youth athletes? A cohort study on data from the Malmö Youth Sport Study

Table 6 Within-task POE score for the SLS, Lunges, DJ and SLHD, and total POE score, given for the different sports type at baseline and follow-up (n = 86). Values are median and quartiles
