Abstract: Aim: It
is intended to search whether hemispheric differences of athletes who are
active in sports lead to difference between dynamic, static balance levels
which are sensorial and physical factors and some anthropometric
features. Material and Method: 98 athletes doing exercises at
least two hours at least for four days were included in study. 44 of them are
right handed, 41 are left handed, and 12 are both handed. Dynamic and static
balance levels, anthropometric features, anaerobic powers are evaluated before
and after a thirty second Anaerobic Test of Wingate Cycle Ergometer. Collected
data were analysed by SPSS 20 for Windows package. Results: No
important difference was found between lateralization levels of right handed,
left handed, both handed athletes doing exercises actively and dynamic and
static levels and some anthropometric features. Conclusion: It
was concluded that both handed are advantageous in balance, fatigue is not
effective as it is accustomed, fatigue affects static balance, there is no
difference between left handed athletes and right handed athletes.
