dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to compare the body components and static and dynamic balance levels of hearing-impaired wrestlers (H-IW) and healthy wrestlers (HW). Thirty-five H-IW and twenty-two HW participated in this research. The body components of the participating wrestlers were obtained by the Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer (BIA), static and dynamic balance measurements via the Biodex Balance System, and back and leg strengths according to the protocols of back and leg dynamometry. The normality of data was tested by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The independent Samples T Test was used to compare pair wise group variables that followed a normal distribution. Significance was accepted for values of p<0.05 with a 95% confidence interval. No statistically significant difference was found among the values of H-IW and HW in terms of age, height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), sporting age, Percentage of Body Fat (PBF), Fat Mass (FM), Free Fat Mass (FFM). On the other hand, that there was a significant difference between back and leg strengths and static and dynamic balance levels among H-IW and HW. As a result, when H-IW and HW were compared, it was found that there was no difference between body components (PBF, FM and FFM) and demographic variables (age, height, weight, BMI, sport age) whereas HW had both higher average back and leg strengths and their dynamic and static balance levels were better than H-IW.
