Flamingo Balance: Males, Age 14
The Flamingo Balance test is a component of the Eurofit battery. The participant stands on a narrow beam (3 cm wide, 50 cm long) on one leg and counts the number of falls in 60 seconds; fewer falls indicates better static balance. Data are from Tomkinson et al. (2018), a pooled analysis of 123,655 European children and adolescents from 19 countries aged 9–17.

What these numbers mean for males aged 14
A score around 11 falls is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group. Times below about 7 falls fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance (faster is better). Times above about 17 falls fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population performed faster.
Percentiles show how common a value is, not whether it is healthy.
