Abstract:

The aim of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between static balance tests such as stork and flamingo, with dynamic balance tests such as star excursion balance test (SEBT) and Y balance test. 58 university students (20 female, 38 male) (Age: 22.79 ± 1.74 years; Height: 172.52 ± 8.62 cm; BW: 66.75 ± 12.35 kg) voluntarily participated in this study. After the anthropometric measurements, one of the static balance test and one of the dynamic balance tests were randomly measured on the first day. And the next day; other static and dynamic balance tests were measured that were not measured on the first day. For the analysis of the data, Pearson Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between static and dynamic balance test parameters in the SPSS 22.0 package program. Statistically significant weak relationship was found between some directions of SEBT and stork balance test and flamingo balance test, with r value ranging between .269 and .335, while no relationship was found between the Y balance test and both the stork and flamingo balance test. This result shows us that no prediction can be made about the dynamic balance of the person by using only one of the flamingo and stork balance tests, or about the static balance of the person using the Star balance and Y balance test.
