The analysis of the manner of distribution of the load and plantar distribution at the level of capoeira practitioners (martial art with Brazilian origins) showed higher values at the level of the dominant foot/dominant limb and significant differences in the division of body load for forefoot load, respectively total load, compared to the control group/not involved in practicing capoeira. However, no significant differences were reported between the 2 groups tested, in terms of muscle strength and postural balance [53]. A study made on elite Iranian Taekwondo female athletes showed that there are asymmetries in the lower limbs dominant vs. non-dominant, the reaction force on the ground and the increased plantar pressure are located in the area of the heel and metataralsals 3-5, and the lowest pressures are at the level of the toes 2,3,4,5 for both feet [54]. The analysis of the duration of maintaining and the distribution of plantar pressure in Tai Chi practitioners for the static position on one leg stance indicates a displacement of the CoP in the mid-lateral plane during the position, greater than during walking, and the load is on the anterior-medial area of the foot, compared to walking, where it is in the anterior and middle area of the foot. The Tai Chi movements generate a higher load on the big toe and metatarsal area 1-first head. The location of the CoP is predominantly medial and posterior at the initial contact, respectively medial and anterior at the end of the contact with the ground [55; 56]. In addition, for this martial art, [57] signals a decrease in the values of plantar pressure during walking, doubled by the balancing of the body distribution between the rearfoot and forefoot areas, but the displacement with increased amplitude of the CoP in the medial-lateral direction is found. At the level of elite weightlifters (12 subjects with an average age of 23.2 years) is reported a different pattern of plantar pressure while walking compared to healthy unsuptsmanlike adults, according to the study of [58]. Pressure differences are significant between the left leg vs. right one for zone 3/middle of the middle leg (medial midfoot) and zone 9/toe 9 (second toe), being indicated the design of insoles that reduce the load on the metatarsal bones 3-5 in order to avoid metataralsalgia in athletes. The use of the baropodometric platform to study the plantar pressure of kendo fighters identified-for the defumikiri movement performed with the right foot forward-that during the blow there is an increase in plantar pressure at the toe and metatarsal points M1 and M2 on the right leg [59]. A comparison of plantar pressure in Polish first division/league footballers, by comparison with unsportsmanlike subjects/students in physiotherapy is made by [60]. Significant differences between groups at the level of the dominant foot and significant associations between BMI values and the average plantar pressure of the dominant foot are found only for the group of footballers, so there are direct influences of sports activity on plantar pressure. Plantar overload, generated by inappropriate leg positions, can cause imbalances and injuries, by transferring forces to the biomechanical chains of the lower limbs. Correlations of plantar pressure and non-dominant limb peak values with BMI values, for weightlifting women/female Olympic style we-tightlifters, in static conditions are also highlighted in the study [61]. The static and dynamic evaluation of 8 national team golfers/Turkey aged 15-18 years generated significant differences between the values of forefoot and rearfoot surfaces/cm\({}^{2}\), the values for the dominated foot being higher than the ones for the counterpart. There are also significant differences between forefoot load and rearfoot load (forefoot vs. rearfoot load %), but also significant differences between forefoot and rearfoot weight ratio R/F% for both legs [62].
