Balance is simply the ability to maintain the body in proper equilibrium.
Balance is an integral, prerequisite skill for all physical development.
Balance can be sub-divided into two main categories:
1. STATIC balance – progressing from a wide base to a narrow base.
2. DYNAMIC balance – balance that is essential for movement eg, a balanced position when throwing or catching a ball.This unit will focus on static balances, in particular, balancing on one foot. A static balance is when the body is still and firm over the base. The balance becomes more difficult if:• the base is small• parts of the body are stretched far away from the center of gravity of the body.For example, when balancing on one foot, the base will be regarded as small.
