2.3.1. Stork Balance Test

This test was performed as described by Sopa [35]. The participant was required to stand on a single leg of their choice, barefoot and on a flat surface. The other leg was raised so that the foot of that leg was glued next to the knee of the supporting leg. The participant had to put her hands on her hips. The clock started when the participant lifted the heel of the supporting leg. The participant had to maintain this position for as long as possible, and the timer stopped when she dropped the heel of the supporting leg, rotated the body in any direction, or lifted the hands from the hips. Each player had 3 attempts to practice balancing either with eyes open (OEB) or closed (CEB). The participant was allowed to practice their balance for one minute and the total time was recorded. The best result of the three attempts was taken into consideration.
