Objective of the study was to assess the balance maintenance potential of hearing-impaired individuals attending an adaptive football section.
Methods and structure of the study. The study involved 36 hearing-impaired second-year university students who regularly trained in the adaptive football section: 12 for one year, 10 for two years, and 14 for three years. The control group consisted of 12 somatically healthy hearing-impaired second-year students who had never been interested in sports. The ability to maintain balance was determined using the «Stabilan 01-2» device at baseline and after the end of the load. The results were processed using Students t-test.
Results and conclusions. In hearing-impaired young men playing football, the function of maintaining balance weakened as fatigue set in. The degree of development of this parameter in hearing-impaired people increased as their sports experience increased. It turned out to be the highest in those with three years of sports experience as a result of the greatest training of their muscular and vestibular systems.

Keywords: adaptive football, sports experience, muscle activity, young men, students, hearing impaired, Romberg test, body balance.
