Methods: Research; 40 students volunteered (age=10.3 ¡À0.23) who did not have regular training in any sports branch. Two groups of an equal number of experiment group (n=20) and control group (n=20) were constructed randomly. The pre and post-test static balance measurements of all groups were measured using the Balance Error Scoring System and the level of development between the two groups was examined. After the pretest measurements were applied to the experimental and control groups, 6-week training sessions were performed with duradisk for 40 minutes and 3 days a week. No training was given to the control group. To test the difference between groups; parametric distributions were used for pre-test post-test values, two-way ANOVA test for repeated measurements and Kruskal Wallis test for non-parametric assumptions. Results: There was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in pre-test static balance measurements (p>0.05). After the study, it was seen that there was a significant difference in duradisc in all measurements between duradisk group and the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of our research showed that the 6-week duradisk training developed the static balance characteristics of middle school students according to the control group. Therefore, the use of duradisk may be recommended to improve balance in sport %K Hareketli zemin %U http://dergipark.org.tr/useeabd/issue/41061/502673
