Balance, being the ability to control the body's position and movement, is a key component to nearly every athletic activity, especially gymnastics or martial arts. Balance is one of several important components of fitness, and should be integrated into every general conditioning program. People of any age can improve balance. A recent study that measured balancing ability of 130 older adults found that those who routinely exercised or had been physically active throughout life had the best balance.
