Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to compare the static and dynamic balance in Sepak takraw male elite players. The game consists of three positions: feeder, server and spiker. Thirty Iranian male elite sepak takraw players were divided into three game position categories of server, feeder and spiker, with mean age (21.43±3.8), height (179.13 cm ±5.34) and weight (68.48 kg ±6.38) participated in this study. Standing stork test and star excursion balance test (SEBT) were used to assess the static& dynamic balance; respectively. Significant (p ? 0.05) differences were found in the SEBT in all 8 directions between spikers and the others and also significant differences were observed in 7 directions (except posterior direction) between servers and feeders, No significant differences were found in the Stork test among all groups. Statistical differences may be caused by the different duties &training methods which are specified for each position.
