Abstract :The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamic balance in youth wrestlers according to age, body mass index (BMI) and participation level. A total of 68 youth wrestlers participated in this study. They were subdivided according to participation levels (elite and sub-elite), age (13-14,15-16,17-18) and BMI ( 25). The modified star excursion balance test (mSEBT) was performed by the same sports medicine specialist. All directional scores (anterior (A), posterior-lateral (PL), posterior-medial (PM)) and composite score (CS) on the dominant (p 20 (p=0.01; p=0.023; p=0.013; respectively). Dynamic balance in youth wrestlers may differ by age, BMI and level of participation. Balance measurements in youth wrestlers should be performed and necessary precautions should be taken to prevent sports injury and improve athletic performance.Keywords : Balance, Youth athlete, Sports medicine, Age, Wrestler
