Objective: This is the study of the effect of power plate and both sides up (bosu) exercises on balance development, applied to individuals who come to the fitness center regularly. Method: The study group of the research consists of 40 male participants between the ages of 18-35 who regularly come to the fitness center. Participants who participated in the study voluntarily were randomly divided into 4 groups of 10 people. These groups consist of 10 person power plate test subject, 10 person power plate control group and 10 person bosu test subject, 10 person bosu control group. Height, body weight, body fat rate, lower extremity length, upper extremity length, Y Balance, Functional Reaching and Flamingo test measurements were applied to the participants. The test subject groups were studied 3 days a week, one hour a day, for a total of 12 weeks. Control group was excluded from the applications for 12 weeks. Results: In our study, statistically reasonable differences were found between the mean results of body weight, body fat rate, Y Balance, Functional Reaching and Flamingo post test in the subject groups (p<0.05). In the control groups, no statistically reasonable difference were found between the mean results of body weight, body fat rate, Y Balance, Functional Reaching and Flamingo post test (p>0.05). No statistically reasonable difference were found between the pre test and post test mean results of Bosu and Power Plate control groups (p>0.05). While there was no statistically reasonable difference in the pre test results of the Bosu and Power Plate subject groups, statistically reasonable differences was found between the post test mean results (p<0.05). Conclusions: Regular and systematic exercises applied with body weight, bosu ball and power plate show that there is a difference in the balance values of individuals. In addition, a significant decrease in body weight and body fat was observed.
