The aim of this study was to investigate the static balance ability by generation from teens to 80’s. Subjects were 541 subjects who participated in our physical fitness measurement project and measured one leg standing time with eye closed. The standing time was measured for up to 60 seconds, and the rate of under 30 seconds group was compared across generations. The maximum average of one leg standing time was 42.8 seconds in 20’s and 30’s. On the other hand, the average time of teens was 33.0 seconds. The average time of 60’s was significantly lower than that of teens (p<0.05). Static balance ability is important to prevent fall for elderly people. Static balance ability was lower in teens than 20’s and 30’s. This result indicated that it was necessary for this generation to prevent the reduction of static balance ability.
