The effect of core stability training on static and dynamic balance in children Down’s syndrome

Children against Down syndrome have numerous problems in foundation skills, nevertheless designing appropriate movement programs is the most important factor to assist this spectrum of society. The purpose of this study has been to investigate the effect of a period of core stability exercises on the static and dynamic balance in the children against Down syndrome. For this purpose, 30 suffered children, aged 7-10 years with the Raven's IQ test (IQ= 30-70) were selected by available samples and after performing pre-test related to static balance and dynamic were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Experimental subjects performed core stability exercises for 16 sessions of 45 minutes , the control group performed the activities-day routine, the post-test was carried out and the results were recorded. The results of covariance analysis indicated that there is a signifecatnt difference between the average of the remaining of the balanced scores of the tests in terms of group membership (P<./..1).So that the magnitude of this effect for static balance ./44 , P<./..1 and dynamic ./37 , P<./..1 has been in the group of core stability exercises. Since balance is one of the most important factors of fitness and everyday life, using of core stability exercises could lead to an increase of this capability in mentally retarded children.
