Background: In sports, balance is a fundamental capacity in performance, demonstrating that it���s the most relevant ability in judo actions (Shimoda et al., 2007), and in soccer, due to the contact characteristics and necessity to maintain the best balance for technical execution with a greater chance of success (Gerbino, Griffin, & Zurakowski, 2007). For its evaluation, the flamingo test seems to be a useful and easy-to-apply on the ground with little equipment and quick data collection (Panjan & Sarabon, 2010), being widely used for this evaluation in different modalities. Objectives: Evaluate unipodal static balance and functional motor asymmetry in Judo athletes, Soccer athletes, and in subjects with non-regular sports practice (Control Group = CG). Methods: 69 healthy subjects between 20 and 22 years old were divided into 3 groups, to which the Flamingo balance test was applied. Results: There were statistically significant differences between Judo and the CG (p = 0.001), where first had better performance, and between Soccer and CG (p = 0.046) where first had better results. In the comparison between the number of falls with the dominant foot in relation to the non-dominant, differences were observed in the soccer athletes (p = 0.023) with more falls for the non-dominant foot as well as in the CG group (p = 0.015). In Judo group, no differences were found between limbs. Conclusions: The practice of sports seems to improve balance and Judo seems to improve balance bilaterally more than soccer, suggesting that this modality can improve athletes for both dominant and non-dominant limbs, and so reduce the differences among them.
