Özet

Flexibility and balance are two main fitness components which are commonly prescribed to enhance athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury (1). However it has been not well documented in the literature that how athletes from different sports branches perform on these components. This study proposed to compare the scores of young female soccer and volleyball players in the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) which is designed to measure flexibility and dynamic postural control or balance.
