Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1. Examination of the endurance of trunk muscles with Modified Plank's test before and after the intervention.<br>2. Lower extremity dynamic balance with Star Excursion Balance test (SEBT) , in (anterior (A), antero-lateral (AL), lateral (L), postero-lateral (PL), posterior (P), postero-medial (PM), medial (M), antero-medial (AM) directions before and after the intervention. Performed on both the right and left side, 3-3 experiments in each direction, of which the best value was taken into account.<br>3. Upper extremity dynamic balance with Y-Balance test (YBT) with distance in cm in 3 different directions (medial, infero-lateral, supero-lateral) before and after the intervention. Performed on both the right and left side, 3-3 experiments in each direction, of which the best value was taken into account.<br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Measured before and after the intervention:<br>1. Trunk stability measured with Modified Plank test<br>2. Dynamic balance of the lower extremity measured with Star Excursion Balance Test<br>3. Dynamic balance of the upper extremity measured with the Y-Balance Test
