Falling is part of various factors that affect health, and falling incidents can have a significant impact on ones quality of life by causing functional, psychological, or social limitations. One way to avoid falling incidents is by maintaining balance. The ability to maintain body balance is a crucial aspect in performing daily activities. Balance can be categorized into two types: static balance and dynamic balance. The variations in findings among these studies create a need to better understand individual variability and contexts that may influence the balance of males and females. The purpose of this research is to identify the comparison of static and dynamic balance between males and females. The studys design is a literature review. The process of data collection involved sourcing articles from three databases, namely Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The search utilized the keywords comparisons, balance, and genders. The inclusion criteria for the articles encompassed those published between 2000 and 2023. The results indicate that some studies suggest differences in balance between males and females, while others show contrasting result. The commonality found in some studies is that gender does not directly affect balance but through other factors such as muscle strength and maturational development. Maintaining these factors is crucial to produce better balance for an individual.
