Groups did general strength training 3 days a week for 8 weeks. However, the virtual realty goggles group also did a 15-minute virtual realty goggles workout at the end of each workout training. In order to investigate the differences in balance performances of both groups, a pre-test was conducted and then a post-test was conducted 8 weeks later. In our study, y-balance test was preferred to measure dynamic balance and flamingo balance test was preferred to measure static balance. Paired simple t-test was used to compare the pre-test and post-test of the groups. Results: In addition to strength tarining, virtual realty goggles group, revealed a significant difference in the dynamic balance values of the individuals (p<0.05). Although the 8 week strength training by the non-virtual realty goggles group had a positive effect on the dynamic and static balance performances of the participants, no significant difference was found (p>0.05). Conclusion: The eight-week virtual reality goggles using that the sedantery indivuals will do in addition to their training increase dynamic balance.
