Balance in children is one of the most important things to notice during its development. Increased risk of loss ofbalance is often associated with a slow reaction time. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationshipbetween auditory reaction time and body balance in students at Elementary School in Baha village. This research wasconducted in March 2018 with cross sectional analytic study design. Samples were taken by simple random samplingmethod with 96 samples. The sample age range is 8 - 10 years. The independent variable is auditory reaction timemeasured using computerized reaction time test software. Dependent variable is body balance measured usingPediatric Balance Scale. The relationship between two variables was analyze using Pearson Correlation test. There isa significant correlation between auditory reaction time to body balance, based on data output from analysis withsignificance <? (p = 0,006). Furthermore, based on data output known Correlation Coefficient of -0.228 which meansthe existence of negative and linear relationship. There was a significant relationship between auditory reaction timeand body balance in elementary school children in Baha Village.Keywords: Reaction Time, Auditory, Balance, Children
