NORMATIVE REFERENCE VALUES OF Y-BALANCE TEST IN RELATION TO BMI IN HEALTHY YOUNG MALES AND FEMALES

The Y-Balance-Test (YBT) is a valuable field-based assessment tool for evaluating dynamic balance performance in both lower and upper extremities. By measuring the ability to maintain a stable base of support during prescribed movements, the YBT offers insights into dynamic postural control essential for executing movement skills, particularly in athletic populations. Understanding BMI's influence on balance is vital for effective weight management and injury prevention strategies. Therefore, understanding the relationship between BMI and balance levels is crucial for developing effective intervention strategies aimed at promoting weight management and enhancing postural stability, thereby reducing the risk of injuries and improving overall quality of life.

Y平衡测试（Y-Balance-Test，简称YBT）是一款极具应用价值的现场评估工具，可用于评估上下肢的动态平衡表现。该测试通过测量受试者在指定动作过程中维持稳定支撑基底的能力，可揭示动态姿势控制能力的相关信息——而该能力是完成动作技能必不可少的要素，在运动人群中尤为关键。明确身体质量指数（Body Mass Index，BMI）对平衡能力的影响，对于制定有效的体重管理与损伤预防策略至关重要。因此，厘清BMI与平衡水平之间的关联，对于制定兼顾体重管理与姿势稳定性提升的有效干预方案至关重要，进而可降低损伤风险、提升整体生活质量。
