Abstract
Various neurophysiological and mechanical factors (such as height, weight, body composition, the base of support, the
length and weight of each limb) can affect the balance. This study aims to examine the effect of some anthropometric features
on balance. Totally 22 healthy male athletes participated the study. Body weight and height parametres were measured before
the balance measurements of the athletes, and then body mass indexes were calculated. Circumferential measurements and
skinfold thickness were measured by using a caliper. Balance measurements of the athletes were calculated with the Biodex
Balance System with dominant legs. In the study, while a significant positive correlation was found between body mass index
body weight, knee joint diameters, thigh and calf circumference, and balance scores, no significant relationship was found
between age, height, foot length, and foot width and all three balance scores. It could be said that body weight, knee joint
diameter, body mass index, thigh and circumference characteristics of the study were significantly related to the balance scores
in the positive direction but not regarding age, height, foot length and width characteristics.
