Abstract:

Introduction and Purpose: Due to the importance of functional balance tests assessment with emphasis on parameters influencing the balance including somatotype, this study undertaken to determine the reliability of functional balance tests (static, semi-dynamic and dynamic) in endomorphe healthy women within 24-34 years old. Methodology: 25 female endomorphe with the average and standard deviation age of 27.32±2.13 yrs, height of 161.13±6.37 cm and weight of 58.28±8.46 kg, participated in this study. Functional balance tests were assessed while Heath-Carter approach applied to determine the participant somatotype. All the functional balance tests are used for each individual three times within 72 hours. Data distribution normalization are evaluated by means of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, while ICC was used for assessing the reliability at a significance level of P<0.05. Results:The reliability of all static, semi-dynamic and dynamic balance tests used in this study was confirmed with an endomorphe type body. Assessing static balance, the Stork and Angel tests; semi-dynamic balance, Star Excursion Balance Test test; and dynamic balance, the Timed to Get Up and Go and Tandem Walking tests got very good reliability level (ICC>0.80
