Dynamic balance is a fundamental motor skill required to maintain postural stability during daily activities and sports performance. During adolescence, changes in the musculoskeletal system due to growth and development can significantly affect balance performance. Therefore, this study aims to examine whether dynamic balance measurement results differ by gender in individuals aged 15 to 17. A total of 280 voluntary a high school students (151 girls and 129 boys) from in the Çukurova district of Adana participated in the study. Two dynamic balance tests were administered: the Equilibrium Test using the Tecnobody balance device and the Y Balance Test. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assess the normality of data distribution. For data showing normal distribution, an Independent Samples t-test was used for comparisons between two groups. A statistically significant difference was found between genders in the double-leg PL values of the Equilibrium Test, as well as in the right and left posteromedial and posterolateral reach values of the Y Balance Test (p < 0.05). However, no statistically significant difference was observed in the double-leg MECAP and MECML values of the Equilibrium Test or in the right and left anterior reach values of the Y Balance Test (p > 0.05). It was observed that dynamic balance skill does not show a significant difference in individuals between genders in this age group. These findings are important for supporting the development of motor skills and identifying gender-specific needs in adolescents.

Dinamik denge, bireylerin günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ve sportif performansları sırasında postüral stabiliteyi sağlamak için gereken temel bir motor beceridir. Özellikle adolesan dönemde, büyüme ve gelişmeye bağlı olarak kas-iskelet sisteminde meydana gelen değişiklikler, denge performansını önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada 15-17 yaş arası bireylerde dinamik denge ölçüm sonuçlarının cinsiyete göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya, Adana ili Çukurova ilçesindeki bir ortaöğretim kurumunda öğrenim gören 151 kız ve 129 erkek olmak üzere toplam 280 gönüllü lise öğrencisi katılmıştır. Katılımcılara tekno body denge cihazında equilibrium testi ve Y denge testi olmak üzere iki dinamik denge testi uygulanmıştır. Dağılımın normalliğine karar vermek için Kolmogorov-Smirnov testinden yararlanılmıştır. Normal dağılım gösterdiği belirlenen verilerde bağımsız iki grup karşılaştırmasında Independent sample t-testi uygulanmıştır. Öğrencilerin dinamik denge equilibrium testi çift ayak PL değerlerinde ve Y denge sağ posteriomedial ve posteriolateral ile sol posteriomedial ve posteriolateral değerlerinde cinsiyete göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark görülmüştür (p<0,05). Equilibrium çift ayak MECAP ve çift ayak MECML testi ve Y denge sağ ve sol anterior değerlerinde ise cinsiyete göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edilmemiştir (p>0,05). Dinamik denge becerisinin bu yaş dönemindeki bireylerde cinsiyete göre belirgin bir farklılık oluşturmadığı görülmüştür. Bu sonuçlar bireylerin motor beceri gelişimlerini desteklemek ve cinsiyete özgü ihtiyaçları belirlemek açısından önemlidir.
