Neuromuscular Balance Exercise Effects in Overweight and Obese Individuals
Sponsor: Marmara University
Summary
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of adding neuromuscular balance exercises to exercise programs on functional capacity, balance, and physical fitness in individuals with obesity. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving aerobic and strength training exercises or an intervention group receiving aerobic and strength training combined with neuromuscular balance exercises. Both exercise programs will be conducted three times per week for eight weeks. Functional capacity, balance, and physical fitness outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after the intervention period. The findings are expected to contribute to the integration of balance-focused exercises into rehabilitation programs for individuals with obesity.

Conditions
Interventions
Aerobic and strength training
The aerobic and strength training program consists of supervised exercise sessions performed three days per week for eight weeks. Aerobic exercises are conducted at a moderate intensity, and strength training targets major muscle groups using body weight and resistance-based exercises. Each session is structured to include warm-up, main exercise components, and cool-down phases.
Neuromuscular balance exercises
Neuromuscular balance exercises are added to the standard exercise program and are designed to improve postural control and balance. The exercises include progressive static and dynamic balance tasks and are performed three times per week for eight weeks under supervision.
