This study investigated the relationship between performance tests (i.e., jumping ability, strength, sprint and change of direction ability) and dynamic postural control in young basketball players. Twenty-three young basketball players participated in this study and performed measurements of dynamic balance (Star Excursion Balance Test [SEBT]), countermovement jump (CMJ), broad long jump (BLJ), 4×9-m shuttle run, agility T test (TT), Illinois agility test (IAT), 20-m sprint and lower extremity muscle strength. Significant association was observed between balance (at medial direction) and strength performance (r = 0.523, p < 0.05). Significant positive correlations were detected between directions of SEBT and BLJ (r = -0.466 to -0.479, p < 0.05), 4×9-m shuttle run (r = -0.403 to 0.486, p < 0.05), TT (r = -0.410, p < 0.05), IAT (r = 0.435, p < 0.05) and sprint (r = -0.402 to 0.452, p < 0.05). Postural control is more in relation to change of direction ability, sprint and power performance in basketball athletes.
