The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of physical traits and lower–upper limb strength parameters affecting balance performance. The study was conducted with the voluntary participation of 25 elite combat athletes. The height, body composition, balance and strength performance of the athletes was measured. SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis of the data. Relationships between physical traits, balance skills, and strength levels of the athletes were identified. As a result of the study, it was found that body weight, BMI, fat percentage and fat mass had a significant relationship with balance (p < 0.05). Balance requires perfect harmony between physical and physiological body systems. However, when it comes to balance development or ensuring optimal balance performance, it can be said that the parameters that make up the body composition are more effective factors compared to strength development.
