Sažetak
It is very important to assess the dynamic and static balance and to recognize the risk of injury as well as the postural stability of the core and extremities. The purpose of the study was to assess differences in dynamic and static balance in high school students as well as asymmetries in Lower Quarter Y-Balance test. Fifty-nine female and fifty-five male students performed the Y-Balance test and the Stork Balance test to determine differences and potential risk of lower extremity injuries. The students were divided into subsamples: girls physically active and girls physically inactive then boys physically active and boys physically inactive. The following parameters were analyzed: age, body height, body weight, leg length, BMI, asymmetries in anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral reaches, scores in the Y-Balance test and Stork balance test. The analysis of descriptive parameters showed that there was no significant difference between the age of the students, asymmetries in the anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral reach in YBT-LQ but students who are not physically active have the highest risk of lower extremity injury. However, a significant difference was found with respect to leg length, body height, body weight and BMI of the students. A significant difference between groups of subjects was found in all variables of dynamic and static balance. It can be concluded that the best scores in 6 out of 9 variables of dynamic and static balance are performed by female physically active students and worst scores by male physically inactive students.
