The research aims to examine the static and dynamic balance capacities of 5-9-year-old children who receive gymnastics training. The research group consists of 101 children, 21 boys and 80 girls, between the ages of 5-9 who are trained in gymnastics. Static balance (Flamingo balance test) and dynamic balance (Y balance test) tests, which are among the basic motor movement performance tests, were applied to examine the balance ability, one of the basic motor capacities of children aged 5-9. Arithmetic average and standard deviation, frequency and percentage distribution from general distribution statistics were obtained as data and Independent T test and One Way Anova tests were used to determine the significance levels between variables. With this research, it was concluded that the static and dynamic balance capacities of children who received gymnastics training at the age of 5-9 differ according to the age variable.
