Abstract: The volume of the polar body of a symmetric convex set $ K$ of $ {\mathbb{R}^d}$ is investigated. It is shown that its reciprocal is a convex function of the time $ t$ along movements, in which every point of $ K$ moves with constant speed parallel to a fixed direction.

This result is applied to find reverse forms of the $ L^{p}$-Blaschke-Santaló inequality for two-dimensional convex sets.
