<italic>Study aim</italic>: The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of different times of day on static and dynamic balance performance.
<italic>Material and methods</italic>: Thirty male individuals (age 22 ± 1.2 years, BMI 23.4 ± 1.3 kg/m2, height 178.5 ± 6.52 cm) volunteered for the study. The participants performed static and dynamic balance tests at 10:00, 15:00, and 20:00.
