Abstract	The purpose of this study was to compare some motoric characteristics as a result of participating in physical activity education of hearing impaired individuals aged 12-14 doing athletics and gymnastics. The study consists of 30 athletes and 30 gymnastics students at the Hearing Impairments in Malatya Province. In the pre-test and post-test measures of the participants, flamingo balance test, flexibility, lower extremity reaction time test, quadriceps muscle strength, abdominal and back muscle strength, height, body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements were performed. Each participant was given physical activity training 3 days per week for 14 weeks. The flamingo balance test score of the both groups showed a decrease and reaction time of right and left side of athletes showed a decrease (p<0.05). When both groups were compared in terms of muscle strength, quadriceps femoris muscle strength was increased in athletic group (p <0.05), but not statistically significant differences were observed in gymnastic group regarding quadriceps femoris muscle strength (p>0.05). As a result of the study, athletics is superior to gymnastic because it has been observed that athletics is more effective than gymnastics on balance, reaction time and muscle strength in individuals with hearing impaired.
