This study was conducted to examine the effect of 5 days (25 hours) of ski training on balance performance for individuals who have never had ski training before. A total of 84 volunteers participated in the study, 42 of them men and 42 of them women without any health problems. After the pre-test balance measurements of the control and experimental group, ski training was given to the experimental group for 5 days in Erciyes Ski Center. One day after ski training was completed, the post-test measurements of the control and experimental groups were made and the results were noted. Biodex Balance System was used for balance measurement in the study. According to the results obtained, static APSI values of the experimental group after ski training were better than before and this difference was significant (p < 0.05), dynamic OSI, APSI and MLSI values were better than before and these differences were significant (p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.05, respectively). These results show that skiing activity can be recommended especially for the development of dynamic balance performance. On the other hand, it seems that ski training contributes more to the static balance performance in the direction of A-P.
