简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of exercises conducted with pilates ball on balance, reaction time, quality of life, and behavior among preschool children.
60 volunteers, aged 4 and 5 years old, who continue kindergartens will randomly be grouped into two as study group (SG) (n=30) and control group (CG) (n=30). Exercises including pilates ball will be applied to SG children for 40 minutes, twice a week, 6 weeks. CG will continue normal daily routines for 6 weeks.
Sociodemographic information of all people will be recorded after their parents signed informed consent form. Single Leg Standing (eyes open and close) for static balance, Functional Reach Test (FRT)for dynamic balance, Ruler Drop Test for reaction time, dual task performance methods will be used.
详细描述
Exercises are generally suggested starting from primary school children. However, exercise habit should be given to people from earlier ages. Moreover, doing exercise can be beneficial to improve motor skills of this age and this improvement can support other developmental areas of these children. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effects of an exercise routine on balance, reaction time and dual task performance of preschool children. This exercise program includes pilates ball to make more fun for this age group. All movements are conducted with the same pilates ball. Exercises are conducted with individual sessions in the kindergartens of children.

研究组 & 干预措施
Pilates Ball Exercises
Various exercises are conducted with using pilates ball. Sensory feedbacks like proprioception and vestibulation are given. Many physical fitness parameters like balance, coordination, speed and agility are used in this exercise program. Children are taken to the program for 40 min, twice a week during 6 weeks.
干预措施: Exercise with pilates ball (Other)
Without exercise
The children in this group are not included in any kind of exercise/sport program during 6 weeks.
结局指标
主要结局
Dynamic balance
时间窗: change from baseline at 6 weeks
Functional reach test is used. Children are asked to stand next to the wall with their right side and extend their right arm with 90 degree shoulder flexion. Then they are asked to extend with their arm as far as possible by protecting their lower limb posture. The distance is recorded in cm.
次要结局
- Static balance(change from baseline at 6 weeks)
- Reaction time(change from baseline at 6 weeks)
- Dual task performance(change from baseline at 6 weeks)
