About

There are very few studies on the effect of core stabilization exercises on balance, posture and trunk muscle endurance in healthy sedentary individuals in literature. The goal of the study is to investigate the effects of core stabilization exercises on balance, trunk muscle endurance and posture in healthy sedentary individuals. According to the results of International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the researcher includes sedentary individuals over the age of 18 in the study. The participants are divided into two groups as control (n=21) and exercise (n=21) groups. The outcome measures are The Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback Unit, New York Posture Assesment Scale, Korebalance Balance System, trunk muscle endurance tests. Intervention includes core stabilization exercises 3 times a week and walking twice a week for 6 weeks. There is no treatment or intervention for the control group. The researcher evaluates both groups at the beginning and 6 weeks after the intervention.

Full description

Core stabilization exercises are performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist as face-to-face exercises, guided online exercises, and as an individual home exercise each once a week, totaling 3 times a week. Each exercise will be performed with 10 repetitions for 8 seconds. Each of the exercises is varied from easy to difficult. Progress in the exercises will be achieved by increasing the difficulty level of the exercises according to the condition of the participant once every two weeks.
