This study will be conducted to investigate the impact of variant weights in adolescents during unperturbed standing conditions.
200 adolescents from both sexes will be assigned to this study. They will be selected randomly from a secondary school student and first level university students. They will be assigned into four group of equal numbers according to (BMI) body mass index for age percentile obese group (n=50), overweight group (n=50), underweight group (n=50) and normal group weight (n=50).The FREEMED platform and FREESTEP software were used to assess the following parameters for each subject: 1. Sway length (mm). 2. The Maximum (peak) Oscillation of COP. 3. The minimum Oscillation of COP.

Sway length (mm)
The force platform was positioned in the middle of the test-taking silent room. In the static standing trial, each participant had the freedom to converse with their partner at any moment, provided that companion was either sitting or stood in front of them at a distance of roughly two meters. The AP and ML direction COP will be investigated using the data collected during the trial's eighty seconds. Depending on which of the six test trials was being given, the participant was advised to stand quietly and unperturbed throughout the test procedure, with their eyes either open or closed.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months
