Relationships between types of balance performance in 3-to-6-year-old preschoolers: a cross-sectional study

Small-sized correlations suggest that balance performance is task-specific in preschool children. Balance ability improves gradually with age, showing different development patterns. These findings demonstrate that distinct balance types lack mutual predictability during early development. Therefore, comprehensive evaluation and enhancement of preschoolers' balance require separate assessment for each balance type and age-specific task design.
