Core Stabilization and PNF Exercises on Cor Muscle Activation in Obese Children

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of core stabilization and PNF exercises on core muscle activation in obese children.In the study, the initial sample size was calculated as 66 people, under the assumptions that the comparisons between groups would be made with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), 3 groups would be included in the study, α= 0.05, β= 0.20 and the effect size would be f= 0.40. The study will be conducted on children between the ages of 10-13 who have a BMI value above the 95% percentile according to age and gender.After recording the sociodemographic information of the individuals, body composition, core muscle activation level, lumbar region muscle endurance, lumbar joint position sense, body image, static and dynamic balances, level of enjoyment of physical activity, physical activity level and pediatric quality of life scale before treatment, 8 weeks of treatment will be measured by the evaluator at the end of the 12-week follow-up period.
