Good postural control is considered to be a key component of an active lifestyle, and numerous studies have investigated the Center of Pressure (CoP) as a way of identifying motor deficits. However, the optimal frequency range for assessing CoP variables and the effect of filtering on the relationships between anthropometric variables and CoP are unclear. The aim of this work is to show the relationship between anthropometric variables and different ways of filtering the CoP data. CoP was measured in 221 healthy volunteers using a KISTLER force plate in four different test conditions, both mono and bipedal. The results show no significant changes in the existing correlations of the anthropometric variable values over different filter frequencies between 10 Hz and 13 Hz. Therefore, the findings with regard to anthropometric influences on CoP, with a reasonable but less than ideal filtering of the data, can be applied to other study settings.
