In skiing, balance in motion is described by which term?

• A. Static Balance
• B. Center Balance
• C. Dynamic Balance
• D. Sequential Balance

Answer: (C)

Dynamic balance is the ability to stay balanced while moving. In skiing, you keep your center of gravity over the moving base of support formed by the skis as you accelerate, decelerate, and change direction. Your body makes continuous, small adjustments with the ankles, knees, and hips, and your core stabilizes the torso so the skis can edge, carve, and follow the intended path. This ongoing control is what lets you maintain rhythm and grip on varying terrain and speeds. Static balance, by contrast, is balance while stationary, and terms like center balance or sequential balance aren’t standard ways to describe balance during motion.
