EFFECTS OF DEEP WATER CORE EXERCİSES ON BALANCE AND MUSCLE STRENGTH İN SEDENTARY WOMEN
Sponsor: Igdir University
Summary
The aim of these clinical trials is to investigate the current effects of a 12-week deep-sea exercise program on sedentary, balance, and muscle strength. The key questions the study aimed to answer were: * Does deep-sea exercise improve the development of sedentary dynamic and static balance? * Does deep-sea exercise increase upper and lower extremity muscle strength? Researchers compared an exercise group to a control group to assess exercise performance. The experimental groups performed deep-sea exercises three times a week for 12 weeks. Dynamic balance, static balance, and muscle strength measurements were assessed at baseline, week 4, week 8, and week 12.

Interventions
Deep Water Core Exercise
Participants underwent a deep-water core strengthening exercise program in a semi-Olympic indoor swimming pool three days a week for 12 weeks under the supervision of researchers. Each exercise session lasted approximately 45 minutes and consisted of warm-up, core strengthening, and cool-down sections. The exercise program was planned according to the principle of progressive loading, and the number of sets and repetitions was gradually increased throughout the process. During the exercise sessions, one instructor actively guided the participants in the pool while another instructor observed and monitored from outside the pool. Adaptation sessions were conducted before the study to ensure the participants adapted to the water. Muscle strength and balance measurements were evaluated at baseline and at weeks 4, 8, and 12. No exercise-related injuries or adverse events were observed during the study.
