The favoring causes leading to the appearance of hyperlordosis in female gymnasts are represented by a physical development that is improper for the demands of professional sports, which leads to a series of symptoms manifested through muscular imbalances in the anterior pelvic-femoral, posterior lumbar-pelvic and pelvic femoral regions, and in the abdominal muscles. This study aims to emphasize the effectiveness of physical therapy means that are applied early on in the treatment of the symptoms of lumbar spine deviation, aiming to improve joint mobility, strengthen injured muscles, and harmonize the physiological curves of the spine. Aiming to obtain conclusive results, we chose to study a group of 10 professional female gymnasts, who were identified to suffer from compensating lumbar hyperlordosis in the initial assessment. The applicative intervention consisted in the application of iso-stretching and therapeutic physical exercises using the Klein ball, over the course of approximately 7 months. From the analysis of the results, we observed that the implementation of postural reeducation programs with strict observance of age particularities, has beneficial effects in stabilizing posture and movements, leading to a static symmetrical ability without compensating and faulty movements, positively influencing the harmonious physical development of female gymnasts, as well as the functioning ability of the whole body.

Introduction: The core is the center of the functional kinetic chain providing the proximal stability for the distal mobility and function of the limbs. The core muscles transfer force and act as a bridge between the upper and lower extremities. Objective: To determine if there is a relationship between dynamic balance and fine motor performance with core endurance in school children. Methodology: The study was conducted among 20 subjects who met with both inclusion and exclusion criteria and who are willing to participate in the study. Demographic data of the subjects, that is, height, weight and age will be taken initially. Subjects were asked to perform plank test, forward reach test and Nine-hole Peg Test in which the therapist will demonstrate the position of the test and procedure first and they were asked to perform 3 trials. The mean value of the trials will be taken. Results: The mean age of the population was 9.39 years. Karl Pearson correlation was calculated between the parameters. There exists a highly significant correlation between the parameters i.e. core endurance and dynamic balance (r=.956) (p<0.01). Also the result shows a significant negative correlation between the parameters core endurance and dominant hand fine motor performance (r=-.967) (p<0.01), core endurance and non-dominant hand fine motor performance (r=-.925) (p<0.01). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship found between dynamic balance and fine motor performance with core endurance.
Background: Balance is a key component of normal daily activities. Therefore, it is necessary to find various programs to improve balance. The core functions to maintain postural alignment and balance during functional activities. The purpose was to study the effects of the core stability training on dynamic balance in healthy, young adults. Methods: It was an interventional study, in which 60 healthy young adults were selected. They were randomly divided into two groups of 30 each, one being experimental group and other control group. Measurement of their height, weight, BMI and leg length was taken. Subjects in both the groups were assessed for core stability with pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) and dynamic balance using Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) pre and post intervention. Subjects in the experimental group underwent progressive core stability training program for six weeks (3days/week) and control group was refrained from any type of structured training program. Results: There was statistically significant improvement in core stability and dynamic balance of the experimental group after six weeks of intervention. Conclusion: It is concluded that core stability training of six weeks duration is effective in improving dynamic balance in healthy, young adults.

Core stability is the ability of the lumbopelvic-hip complex to prevent spinal instability and return to equilibrium after a perturbation. The special physical condition in students and especially the female ones-makes them prone to Trunk Defects (TDs); thus, it makes them prone to numerous injuries, like problems in balance. The present study aimed to examine the effect of Core Stability Exercises (CSEs) on static and dynamic balance, strength, and endurance among female students with TDs. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. The study samples were 30 female high-school students with TDs (Mean±SD age: 15.63±0.49 y, height: 1.60±0.04 m, & weight: 55.96±6.08 kg). All the subjects were placed in the same group. The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) was used to evaluate the dynamic balance; One-Legged Stance Test (OLST) was employed to evaluate the static balance; the McGill test was applied to evaluate trunk endurance; a dynamometer was used to assess the trunk muscle strength, and tuck-jump screening test was implemented to determine students with TDs. These tests were employed at pretest and posttest phases. The research subjects followed CSEs for 6 weeks, 3 sessions per week, and approximately 45 minutes per session, supervised by the researcher. The Dependent Samples t-test at the significance level of P=0.05 was used for data analysis. Results: The present study results indicated a significant difference in strength, muscular endurance, as well as static and dynamic balance in the study subjects after the exercise program (P=0.001). Conclusion: According to the data, 6 weeks of CSEs could provide a solid foundation for the transfer of forces between the limbs. This is achieved by enhancing the strength and endurance of the core muscles of the body; accordingly, it leads to improved static and dynamic balance in female students with trunk control defect by reducing postural fluctuations. However, further extensive studies with larger sample sizes are required for providing more accurate conclusions.

Purpose: This research aimed to study the effect of 8 weeks core stability training on static balance of the children with Down syndrome. Methods: A total of 16 children with Down syndrome from rehabilitation center of Noor Abad City were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups of control (n=8) and experimental (n=8). At the pretest and posttest, subjects’ static balances were evaluated by modified stork stand test. The training program was conducted in 8 weeks, 3 times a week, and each session lasted 45-60 minutes. Statistical analysis was done by dependent and independent t-test using SPSS version 21 (P≤0.05). Results: Our results indicated a 67% progress in static balance (3.64 s) in the experimental group (P=0.0001) and their 84% superiority (4.14 s) over the control group in the post-test (P=0.0001). Conclusion: According to these results, core stability training improves the static balance of the children with Down syndrome and can be used in their rehabilitation program.
Effects of Gymnastics on Static and Dynamic Balance in Children (Bingol Province Sample)
Journal of Education and Learning, 2020
This study was performed out to examine the effects of gymnastic exercises on dynamic and static balance in children. A total of 31 volunteer children attending primary school in Bingöl, 9 male experimental groups (MEG) and 8 male control groups (MCG) and 7 female experimental groups (FEG) and 7 female control groups (FKG), participated in the study. For the MEG who participated in our study, the age was found to be 7.60 ± 1.51 years, the heigth was 127.30 ± 10.90 cm, the body weight was 25.60 ± 5.41 kg and the BMI was 15.74 ± 0.99 kg/m 2 ; for the MCG who participated in our study, the age was 7.25 ± 1.26 years, the heigth was 125.80 ± 9.70 cm, the body weight was 26.51 ± 4.73 kg and the BMI was 17.72 ± 0.66 kg/m 2. For the FEG who participated in our study, the age was found to be 7.25 ± 1.26 years, the heigth was 122.63 ± 4.21 cm, the body weight was 26.51 ± 5.38 kg and the BMI was 17.72 ± 0.66 kg/m 2 ; for the FCG who participated in our study, the age was 7.75 ± 1.25 years, the heigth was 123.50 ± 4.30 cm, the body weight was 26.75 ± 5.52 kg and the BMI was 17.55 ± 0.62 kg/m 2. While basic gymnastics training was applied to boys and girls experimental groups for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, control groups continued their classroom training and were not included in any physical activities. Star balance test for dynamic balance measurement and flamingo balance test for static balance measurement were applied before and after gymnastics training. Analysis of the data obtained SPSS package program was used. The normality of the distributions of the variables and the homogeneity of the variances were determined by Mauchly Sphericity and Levene Tests. Analyzes between the groups, within the group and the effect of training were made with multiple measures analysis of variance (MANOVA) in repeated measurements. Post Hoc comparisons in significant values were determined by Bonferroni Test. The degree of significance (p < 0.05) was accepted. According to the star balance test values applied before and after exercise, test*group interaction was observed in MEG in both the right foot and left foot Anterior, Anteromedial, Medial, Postoremedial, Posterior, Posterolateral, Lateral, Anterolateral values. It has been determined that this interaction is caused by intra-group development in MGE (p < 0.05). While anterior, anteromedial, medial, postoremedial, posterior, and anterolateral test*group interaction is observed for the right foot star balance test in girls, this interaction is due to intragroup development in the FEG (p < 0.05). Although the result did not express statistical significance in the posterolateral and lateral direction values, the results of the FEG in both values were determined to be higher than the values of the FCG. According to the results of the left foot star balance test in girls, Anterior, Anteromedial, Postoremedial, Posterior, Lateral, Anterolateral values are observed in the test*group interaction, this interaction is due to intragroup developments in the FEG (p < 0.05). Although there was no significant difference in the values of the medial and posterolateral sides, it was found that the measurements of FEG in both direction values were higher than the results of the FCG. According to the flamingo balance test values, which is the other balance test applied in our research, according to MEG in MCG in both right foot and left foot tests; a significant increase was statistically observed in the FEG compared to the FCG (p<0.05). As a result, it is possible to say that the 8-week gymnastic exercises applied in our research improve both static and dynamic balance in children. It can be explained by balance is an important component in all movements of gymnastics.
Comparison of postural balance between female and male adolescents
| Adolescence phase comprises between 10 and 19 years old. This stage is characterized by a fast individual growth and development. However, these changes do not occur at the same rate for both genders, and can lead to differences in postural balance. The purpose of this study was to compare the postural balance between male and female adolescents. To this, 11 female and 19 male adolescents were assessed. The center of gravity height was obtained by a reaction board, and postural balance was evaluated with a force platform from Advanced Mechanical Technologies, Inc. model OR6-6. The variables analyzed were calculated from the center of pressure (COP): COP anteroposterior range of displacement (COPap), COP mediolateral range of displacement (COPml); and COP mean displacement velocity (COPvel). Female adolescents showed a significantly lower COPap (p=0.011) and COPml (p=0.003) ranges of displacement with open eyes when compared to male adolescents. With closed eyes, females had lower COPap (p=0.001), COPml (p=0.001) and COPvel (p=0.004). It suggests a lower postural sway for these female adolescents. It is believed that the results came from differences in anthropometric characteristics between genders. We conclude that female adolescents in this study had a better postural balance when compared to male adolescents.

Background and Purpose: Lower extremity performance and dynamic balance are an essential component of normal daily activities such as walking, running and climbing stairs. Thus, they are a key component of injury prevention and rehabilitation in sports. Training the core muscles has been hypothesized as an intervention for improving balance and lower extremity performance. However, there is a lack of current scientific evidence to support this claim. Hence, it is essential to verify the effects of the core stability training on dynamic balance and performance of lower extremity in young, asymptomatic individuals. Materials and Methods: young, asymptomatic individuals (n=20 control, n=20 experimental) were selected and pre training sessions were held for both the groups in which limb length, core stability, dynamic balance using Star Excursion Balance Test and lower extremity performance using T Test of agility were assessed. The subjects in the experimental group had to undergo progressive core stability training programme for 6 weeks and control group had to refrain from any form of structured core stability training for 6 weeks. After six weeks, both groups had to undergo post training session where all the parameters were assessed again. Result: Data analysis revealed a significant increase (p<0.0001) in the core stability and dynamic balance in the experimental group as compared to control group. There was a significant increase (p<0.0001) in the lower extremity performance in both the groups individually. Whereas, there was no significant improvement (p=0.05) in the lower extremity performance on comparing the control and experimental groups. Conclusion: The study suggested that core stability training improves dynamic balance but failed to find a significant effect of core stability training on lower extremity performance. Clinical Implications: Core stability training can be used in patients with balance deficits so as to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls and injuries.

SummaryStudy aim: the aim of this study was to determine how body height, body weight, and moderate physical activity affected postural stability in young schoolchildren.Materials and methods: the study population consisted of 148 primary school pupils. To assess postural stability, we used the CQStab2P stabilometric equipment (the bi-platform version), and an assessment of physical activity was conducted via questionnaire.Results: the study revealed that both greater body weight and greater body height positively affected postural stability in the studied population. We found a low, yet significant correlation regarding postural stability in children who attended sports classes. In the cases of path length and mean amplitude of sway with eyes closed, the children who were more active in sports had better vertical postural stability. We did not find any relationships between static balance and the number of sports classes attended in a week, or with participating in extra academic c...
