Purpose: Balance is a very important motoric feature which has been really essential in all sports and needs to be developed from young ages. It is thought that balance skill of athletes engaged with volleyball and martial arts is important with regards to positive and negative performance and injury phrase. In this context, we aim to compare the static and dynamic data of athletes who are engaged with volleyball and martial arts. Method: In our study, there are 15 volleyball players, playing in major league and minor league, whose average of age is 22,00±2,3; and 15 martial arts athletes –in national team level- whose average of age 21,00±2,55. Prokin TecnoBody isokinetic balance measurement tool by CSMI was used for static balance and dynamic balance. Static test was applied on a stable platform, standing on two feet and standing on one food (right and left), keeping eyes open and closed. I. Mann Whitney U test was used in determining the differences between groups. Findings: In repetitive measurements between groups, significant differences in the level of 0<0,05 in closed eye average pressure center Y, open eye average pressure center X, one foot left used area, one foot left average pressure center Y, one foot left average pressure center X, left foot used area, ratio of eyes closed/eyes open in Romberg test, average balance faults monitoring, stability indicator and average strength variance parameters. Results: Martial arts athletes got better results according to volleyball players in balance values, static balance of left foot and dynamic balance of two feet; which are motoric features. As a result, it is thought that this is due to mutual defense in martial arts, using support leg in attack moves and balance trainings.
