1. A balance training system comprising:
a load distribution sensor including a plurality of sensors arranged in a matrix on a mounting surface for supporting a sole of a trainee in a standing state and configured to detect positions of feet of the trainee riding on the mounting surface and a load received from the trainee;
a mobile body, the load distribution sensor being attached to the mobile body; and
a control unit configured to calculate a reference position based on the positions of the feet of the trainee detected by the load distribution sensor, then calculate a center of gravity position of the trainee based on the load detected by the load distribution sensor, and control a movement of the mobile body based on a change of the center of gravity position with respect to the reference position, wherein
the control unit is configured to update the reference position based on the changed positions of the feet of the trainee when the change of the position of at least one of the feet of the trainee is detected by the load distribution sensor.
