It was set that at least 70% of the judges must have agreed with the movements, so that the game could be included in the protocol. Results: The main objectives identified by the therapist were the stimulation of the static balance, the control of the gravity center of the body, the anteroposterior and lateral displacements, and the discharge of weight in lower limbs. Conclusion: In the face of the results, the statistical balance, gravity center regulatory are indications of all games as well as the anteroposterior and lateral displacement and in some games as Ski Slalom, Soccer Heading, Penguin Slide and Snowboard Slalom respectively.
