The Effect of Core Stabilization Exercises on Upper Extremity Motor Skills in Overweight and Obese Children: Quasi-Experimental Controlled Study

Objective: This study was planned to investigate the effect of core stabilization exercises on upper extremity motor skills in overweight and obese children. Material Methods: The study, which included obese, normal weight children, designed as a quasi-experimental controlled study. An eight-week exercise program implemented In first two-weeks eight-weeks training, children were taught how stabilize region. Upper evaluated before-after program. push-up test, grip strength measurement, Modified Closed Kinetic Chain Extremity Stability Test (M-CKCUEST), Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency-2 Short Form (BOT-2 SF), used evaluate skills.
