Popis: # Background The Y-Balance Test (YBT) assesses dynamic stability and neuromuscular control of the lower extremity. Several authors have analyzed kinematic predictors of YBT performance with conflicting results, but the influence of kinetic factors is not well understood. # Purpose To examine kinematic predictors of YBT performance and determine the joint kinetics which predict YBT performance. # Study Design Cross-sectional study. # Methods Thirty-one physically active individuals performed YBT trials on a force plate while whole body kinematics were recorded using a motion capture system. Sagittal, frontal, and transverse plane joint kinematics and joint moments were calculated at maximum reach in each YBT reach direction. Variables correlated with reach distances at the *p* \< 0.2 level were entered into a stepwise linear regression. # Results In the anterior direction, knee flexion and torso rotation (*R^2^*=0.458, *p*\
