Abstract :The aim of this study is to compare the static and dynamic balance test results of football players competing at different levels by position.The research group of the study consisted of players from Erzurumspor FK competing in the Turkish Football Federation Development League and Ilıca İdmanyurdu club\'s U-15 team competing in the Erzurum Local League. A total of 40 football players participated in the study, with 20 from Erzurumspor FK and 20 from Ilıca İdmanyurdu. It was preferred that all players were right-footed. Participants\' static and dynamic balance values were measured in six different measurements, including right foot, left foot, and both feet. During the single-leg static test, the other leg was flexed at approximately 20°, and in the double-leg static balance test, players were required to stand comfortably on the platform with both feet. The test duration was set at 30 seconds. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS v25 package program. Independent samples t-tests were performed for pairwise comparisons, and Pearson correlation tests were conducted for relational analyses. A significance level of 0.05).The results of the study indicate that there are differences in the balance values of football players competing at different levels. This may be due to the fact that as players compete at higher levels, their physical and physiological requirements increase, and consequently, their rates of development vary.
