The aim of the research was to determine the relations and influences of balance on the result in sports climbing in women. The research was conducted on a sample of 11 female participants, aged 16±1.55 years, participants of the Youth World Cup in Arco-Italy 2015. The research was conducted by the use of 3 variables for the estimation of balance (Flamingo test - FLAM, one leg standing along on a balance bench - OLSB and crosswise standing on a balance bench - CSBB) and 3 variables for the estimation of the result in sports climbing (bouldering - BOULDER, lead climbing - LEAD and speed climbing - SPEED). Based on the obtained results we can conclude the following: There are statistically significant relations between sets for the estimation of balance and the overall result in sports climbing, so it can be concluded that participants with greater balance will be more successful in sports climbing. There is a statistically significant influence of balance on the result in bouldering, both at the multivariate and univariate level of each variable individually. This means that the participants whose balance is at a higher level show better results in this discipline. However, the analysis of the influence of balance on the success in disciplines lead and speed climbing did not show a statistically significant influence at the multivariate level, even though the significance in discipline speed climbing was on the borderline. Within a framework of the individual influence on lead climbing the flamingo test was highly influential, whereas the crosswise standing on a balance bench test had a great influence on speed climbing. A general conclusion is that apart from strength as a dominant motor skill in sports climbing, balance represents another very relevant factor in this sport.
