Abstract

The aim of this study was to explain the relationship between reaction times rightleft hand visual and auditory and balance static balance in children between the ages 9-13. 74 male and 46 female, as a total of 120 students between the ages 9-13 from Ankara Batı College were voluntarily participated in this study. Visual and auditory reaction times were measured by Newtest 1000 reaction timer and Flamingo Balance Test was used to test static balance of players.The data was analyzed by using “Non-parametric Spearman Correlation Test” in SPSS software.The average visual reaction time of subjects for right and left hand were 448,33 ± 156,05 msec and 447,88 ± 142,70 msec respectively, Right and left subjects’ auditory reaction time was 451,95± 166,83 msec and 460,48± 166,24. Right and left dynamic balance scores were obtained 30,37 ± 38,23 sec and 30,72 ± 41,84 sec. respectively. As a result of the research subjects' reaction to the right visual balance with the right r =- 212; p
