Introduction: Stabilometry and baropodometry are considered means of quantification of body oscillations and analysis of plantar pressure distribution and load on the foot, being related to athlete's body biomechanics. Objective: To analyze the load distribution and stabilometry of amateur athletes. Methodology: Observational, quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, carried out in the city of Barreiras-BA. The sample was constituted by 80 amateur runners. For data collection a notebook connected to a baropodometric platform of the Arkipelago brand was used, which is a fundamental instrument for the evaluation of data such as plantar pressure and stabilometry. Results: The analyzed runners had higher values of maximum pressure on the left side with an average of 0.873 Kgf/cm (±0.4730), and higher values on the right side with 50.34% (±4.325). Regarding stabilometric data, greater displacement was found in the anterior direction with an average of 50.24% (±5.403), and the right surface with 50.39 (±5.120). The T-test also revealed a statistically significant difference between left and right maximum pressures (p < 0.001). In Wilcoxon's test the baropodometry and stabilometry variables did not present significant differences when comparing the right, left, anterior and posterior sides. Conclusion: The evaluation of amateur athletes using the baropodometric platform is necessary due to the growing number of street runners, associated with the numerous biomechanical data provided by this type of evaluation, which can facilitate the identification and prevention of injuries in this population.
