Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the static and dynamic stretching on agility and balance during break time of soccer game. Methods/Statistical Analysis: This study was performed for 25 among healthy university soccer team students. All data were analyzed using the statistical software SPSS ver. 23.0. The data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation of the mean (SDM). For the comparison among the groups, twoway ANOVA and paired t-test was performed for the difference within a group. Significance was set as α < .05. Findings: The agility results within a group depending on whether stretching was applied or not were - .41sec (p > .05) in the group to which the static type of stretching was applied and it was - .442sec (p < .05) in the group to which the dynamic type of stretching was applied. Therefore, both the two groups showed a result of the shortened time. There was a meaningful difference in the group to which the dynamic type of stretching was applied (p < .05) in comparison to the group to which the static type of stretching was applied (p > .05)
