Which test is used to assess balance?

The Stork Balance Test is specifically designed to assess an individual's balance. This test requires a person to stand on one leg while the other foot is placed against the knee of the standing leg, with the goal of maintaining this position for as long as possible. This activity challenges the body’s ability to stabilize itself and reflects dynamic balance and proprioception, making it an effective evaluation tool.

Other tests mentioned do not focus on balance. The Sit-and-Reach Test evaluates flexibility, the Push-Up Test measures upper body strength and endurance, and the 40-Yard Dash is a sprinting test focused on speed and acceleration. Each of these tests serves different fitness components, highlighting the distinct purpose of the Stork Balance Test in assessing balance.
