Abstract
Introduction: The primary goal is to provide insights into the mechanisms underlying this relationship and to highlight the relevance of understanding body composition for balance-related interventions. Dynamic balance is crucial for daily activities, and understanding how body composition affects balance can inform strategies to improve balance control and reduce the risk of falls and injuries in children. The present review addresses the gap in knowledge regarding the specific impact of body composition on dynamic balance and its implications for school-going children. Aim: To investigate the relationship between body composition and dynamic balance to elucidate how body composition influence balance performance in school-going children. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search included school-going children from the age 5 to 19 years and was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus and Web of Science databases to identify relevant studies published up to the present date. Articles investigating the association between body composition and dynamic balance in school-going children were included. Results: A total of 913 articles were retrieved for the present study. After removing duplicate articles only 9 articles were evaluated in this literature review. The aim was to explore the relationship between body composition and dynamic balance in school going children. All the 9 articles showed a relatively high proportion of children with overweight and obesity exhibit impairment of dynamic balance. Conclusion: The present review concluded that Body Mass Index (BMI) affects dynamic balance in school-going children. These effects can increase risk of falls and injuries among children. Overall, further research is required to elucidate the precise mechanisms underlying how body composition affects dynamic balance and to develop targeted interventions for improving balance for school-going children. This review will increase awareness about the implication of different balance test among school-going students
