In this study, it is aimed to investigate the balance and coordination skills of sedentary and non-sedentary individuals. A total of 85 volunteer males, with a mean age of 20 ± 2.50 years, a mean height of 177.87 ± 5.82 cm, and a sedentary population of 22.04 ± 3.18 kg / height, and 53 of whom were physically active three days a week, participated in the study. The coordination skill with Technobody ProKin PK 200 was measured by the Harre Coordination test for balance test measurement. SPSS (24.0) statistical package program was used to analyze the data. In the comparison between groups using Mann Whitney U test from non-parametric tests significance level was determined as p<0,05. The mean duration of coordination time of physically active individuals was 34.66 sec, the average of equilibrium performances was 51.63 cm, and the sedentaries were 51.63 sec and 54.97 cm, respectively. A statistically significant difference was found between the active and sedentary groups in terms of balance (p<0,00) and coordination (p<0,00). As a result, it was found that the balance and coordination performances of the active individuals were better than the sedentary individuals.
