Abstract
Objective: The primary purpose of the present study was to examine differences in balance performance between the dominant and nondominant legs during dynamic balance tasks in healthy individuals with no regular exercise backgrounds. As a secondary purpose, gender differences in single-leg stance were also investigated.
