Abstract
This study surveyed predict dynamic balance body based on the characteristics of the physical education of young people. The study population was composed of male Physical Education students in Shiraz University. The sample consisted of 60 subjects who had volunteered to participate in this study. Tools of data collection were anthropometric measurements and tests of motor function. Stabilometer time of balance on this device was recorded to subjects. After measuring and recording of data (30ʺ balance task, 90ʺ rest interval). Analysis was performed with using of correlation and regression statistical methods. Results showed Anthropometric characteristics, height (r= -0.35, P=0.027), weight (r=-0.43, P=0.006), and waist (r= -0.50, P=0.001) had significant correlation with balance task performance in determined significant level (α=0.05). Results of this study shows that size of indexes such as waist circumference, weight and height can be used as variables for anticipating of dynamic balance, although the amounts of these variables are different.
