%0 Journal Article %T Evaluation of the Effect of Shoes and Seeing on Balance in Goalball Players %A G¨¹lcan Karaman %J - %D 2018 %X Purpose: The study was performed to determine the effects of the shoes and seeing (eyes opened, eyes closed) on balance in goalball players. Material and Methods: 9 female goalball players between 16-26 years, visually impaired between B1-B3 voluntarily participated. Equilibrium measurements were performed with the Human Body Equilibrium 360 (HUBER 360£¿) electronic device. Measurements were done with shoes and without shoes. Results: It was determined that there was no difference in center, length and velocity values in the stability test measured with and without shoes (p> 0.05) and no difference in values measured eyes opened (p> 0.05). It was determined that eyes closed area value was less in shoeless position and in favour of measurement without shoes. No differences were observed on balance values on the right and left leg (p> 0.05). In the stability test having been done eyes-opened and eyes-closed, the area value with shoes and eyes-opened was better than measurements with shoe and eyes closed; the speed and length area values without shoes and eyes-opened were better than without shoes and eyes closed (p<0.05).Conclusion: It was determined that the presence of shoes didn¡¯t affect the balance positively on goalball players and even affected the balance of goalball players negatively. In addition to these, in our study, it was determined that even in visually impaired goalball players, even seeing less has positive effects on balance %K Sporlar %K G£¿rme-d¨¹£¿¨¹k %K Denge %K Ayakkab£¿lar %U http://dergipark.org.tr/ered/issue/36317/418257
