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.
