Abstract—This study aims to determine the level of validity of using real-time inclinometer sensors to measure the balance abilities of young children. A total of 10 lower elementary school students were the samples for this research (5 males and 5 females ± 7–9 years old). The samples were given the opportunity to carry out four variations of the One Leg Standing Test (OLST), namely Opened Eyes-Step, Closed Eyes-Step, Opened Eyes-Tip, and Closed Eyes-Tip, using an inclinometer sensor in the middle of the chest to then the data conveyed by the sensor is recorded in the software on the tester laptop. From the 10 participants’ data, 1000 records were obtained which were then processed statistically to obtain valid results from the use of these sensors in this test. The results show a high level of validity demonstrated by this sensor for almost all variations of the test, and the inclinometer sensor is suitable for use as an instrument to measure body balance accurately.
