Abstract
Introduction: Balance is a very important factor in many sports; it is one of the main factors that reduces injury and causes high sport performance. Purpose: considering the importance of balance, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between maximum strength of lower extremity with balance in young men athletes; for this purpose 30 young men athletes with mean age17±2years and mean weight 63±2 KG were selected randomly. Method: The maximum strength of lower extremity was tested with 1 Repetition. The maximum leg press and static balance were measured with Stork Stand and dynamic balance tested with Star excursion balance test. Pearson correlation coefficient was used in a meaningful level (p≤0.05) in order to analyze data. Results: The results of this study indicated that there is no significant correlation between lower body strength and balance in athletes. Conclusion: considering the importance of balance in this study, it seems that Strength is not an important index factor for balance in athletes, and the other training programs are better than strength training for balance.
