The ability of experts in motor skills requiring a fine postural control to keep a stable upright posture while facing the task of reinserting proprioceptive information was investigated. Seven expert gymnasts and seven experts in other non-gymnastics sports were asked to stand as immobile as possible in two conditions of vision and no-vision. Within a trial, ankle proprioceptive input was modified by means of tendon vibration of both antagonistic ankle muscles. Center of foot pressure (COP) displacements were recorded using a force platform. Contrasting with the non-gymnasts, the gymnasts were able to rapidly take advantage of the reinsertion of proprioceptive information to decrease their COP displacements. These results suggest that the efficiency of the integration process leading to the reweighting of sensory information can be significantly improved through a specific training.
