The aim of this study was to explain the relationship between dynamic and static balance performances of the female athletes who are in basketball, football, volleyball branches and female sedentary people. Totally 36 athletes from Gazi University Sport Club Volleyball and Football teams and Kastamonu Yolspor Club and also 14 sedentary students from Kastamonu Vocational School For Girls participated in the study voluntarily. Each participants was applied totally 4 balance measurements for both dominant and non dominant limbs; Flamingo Balance Test for static balance and Star Excursion Balance Test for dynamic balance. ANOVA parametric comparison was used to analyze the data of study in SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) program and the significance level was accepted as p<0.05. The averages of flamingo balance test of the athletes were 5,4±2,5 for football, 8,5±3 for basketball, 5,3±2,5 for volleyball and 13,5±2,1 for sedentary people besides the averages of star excursion balance test were 654,8±57,5, 851,9±66,2, 703,8±62,2, 605,3±41,8, respectively. As a conclusion; while the static balance performance of the basketball players was lower than the performance of volleyball and football players, their dynamic balance performance was higher than the performance of volleyball and football players. In addition to these, while the dynamic balance performance of sedentary people was lower than the performance of volleyball players significantly, their static balance performance was also lower than the rest of the branches significantly (p<0.05).

A sense of balance is required in sports activities, conditioning the quality of movements and physical performance. (1) The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of gender and the specificity of sports activities on body balance. The investigated participants are 157 students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports/Bachelor’s degree: 109 men (age = 20.49 ± 2.03, body mass index, BMI = 22.96 ± 3.20), and 48 women (age = 20.21 ± 1.51, BMI = 21.05 ± 2.78). (2) Design: Cross-sectional study, with the definition of the variables gender and sport activity with three stages (non-athletes/NA, team sports games/TSG, and individual sports/IS). The evaluation was based on four dynamic balance tests (Bass test/points, Functional reach test/cm, Fukuda test/degrees of rotation, and Walk and turn field sobriety test/errors) and three static balance tests (Flamingo test/falls, Stork test, and One-leg standing test with eyes closed/s). (3) Results: The variance analysis (mult...

Aim: To find out variation in flexibility, strength and balance of university and school students on their dominant and non-dominant sides. Study design: A Cross section study. Place and duration of study: Data was collected from Lahore Grammar School (LGS), Al’Ala school and University of Management and Technology (UMT), Lahore. After approval of synopsis (RE-092-2021) the data collection was done from the duration of 10th November 2021 to 15th February 2022. Methodology: A cross section study conducted on healthy school and university students. The data was collected by non-probability convenient sampling. After verbal Informed consent the data was obtained from school students of grade 7-10 from Lahore Grammar school and Al’Ala international Islamic school and undergraduate’s students of UMT by using convenient sampling. Physical performance tests for measuring strength (sit-ups), flexibility (Zipper, sit and reach, dorsiflexion) and balance (Flamingo test) were demonstrated and ...

In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of balance-enhancing training applied to competitor women in different team sports. The sample of the study consisted of a total 36 women competitors studying in the Faculty of Sports Sciences and participating in inter-university competitions. The necessary permissions were obtained for the athletes who voluntarily participated in the study, and the consent form was filled in. Athletes who were injured and had any disability were not included in the study. The average age, height and body weight of the athletes are respectively; for handball player (n=12) (21.5±1.49 years, 170.0±2.26 cm, 64.0±2.68 kg); for basketball players (n=12) (20.6±1.47 yil, 180.3±3.27 cm, 75.8±3.36 kg) and futsal player (n=12) (24.3±1.25 yil, 177.8±3.05 cm, 73.8±3.36 kg). In the research, pretest and posttest experimental methods were used. The athletes were examined in 3 groups for 8 weeks, 2 days a week, 8 movements of balance-improving training program, an...

The balance in the formation of high performance and the display of skill in all sports branches has an important place. The aim of the study is to compare the static and dynamic balance performances of individual athletes with team athletes. A total of 55 athletes, 29 team athletes and 26 individual athletes, currently licensed to perform sports, participated in the study. Static and dynamic balance performances of the athletes were determined by the Biodex isokinetic balance system. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine the difference between the static and dynamic balance performances of individual athletes and team athletes after analyzing through the SPSS software program. As a result of statistical analysis, there was no significant difference between static and dynamic balance performances of team athletes and individual athletes (p &lt;0.05). As a result, improved fitness performance is required for effective use of motor skills in all sports branches and high perfor...

The purpose of this study was done to compare the static balance with the dynamic one and their relationship with the anthropometrical characteristics in the athletes of selected sports. 50 healthy athlete students (16 handball players, 9 basketball players, 15 futsal players and 10 volleyball players) who had participated in the sport events of Azad University&#39;s region 1, were involved voluntarily. By the use of caliper, tape measure and digital scale, anthropometrical characteristics were measured. The static balance was measured by the stork test and the dynamic balance was evaluated by using the YBT in three directions. The results of the study showed that the static balance has a significant difference between the handball and volleyball groups (P= 0.018). Also, the dynamic balance between the handball and volleyball groups (P = 0.010) and basketball and volleyball groups (P= 0.017) showed a significant difference. The results of Pearson correlation coefficient showed that ...

This study aims to compare the static and dynamic balance in adolescents’ handball and soccer players. 32 male student national athletes: soccer (N= 17), handball (N= 15) between 15-18 years of age and at least 3 training years were included to the study. Assessment of static and dynamic balance was measured with Prokin 5.0 Technobody. There were no significant differences found between handball and soccer players on static and dynamic balance tests. We think that there are similar movements used often by both group, like faking and changing direction. On the other hand, there was found significant difference between right and left leg of soccer players perimeter scores for unipedal (Forward-Backward) dynamic balance slalom tests, when were compared within each group { t (15)= -3,158, p < 0,01 }. Unipedal (F-B) dynamic balance slalom tests score of right leg was better than left leg for soccer players, but, there were no significant differences for handball players (p>0,05). All of the soccer players are dominantly using their right leg. In addition, this result might relate training methods and years, experience, muscle force asmmetry. On the other hand, handball players’s dominant legs are also right, but their usually jumping legs are left. Keywords: Static balance, dynamic balance, soccer, handball
