The ability in maintaining body balance of 6-, 8-, and 10-year-old children performing three balance tests on a force platform was studied. Thirty adult subjects served as a reference group. The mean radius (MR) of the posturogram and the mean speed (MS) of the center of foot pressure (COP) were used as the measuring parameters. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA, the Sheffe test and the Student "t" test with a .05 level of significance. A decrease with age in both mean radius and mean speed, indicating an increase in balance ability, was noted. A significant age main effect was found on all tests while significant gender main effect occurred only on the Tandem test. No significant age/sex interaction was found. Significant differences between the 10-year-old and adult groups occurred only in the more difficult balance tests.
