简要总结
Obesity is one of the most important health problems of developed and developing countries. Especially in children and adolescents, the prevalence of obesity is increasing at an alarming rate. In obese individuals, the effects of postural control and balance have been reported to cause musculoskeletal problems, and motor control skills have been found to decrease. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of balance exercises and strengthening exercises on balance, posture and lower extremity functions in obese adolescents.

结局指标
主要结局
The six-minute walking test
时间窗: Change from baseline to 8 weeks, follow up at two months
The six-minute walking test is an example of timed distance testing, widely used in clinical research and rehabilitation studies. According to the guidelines published by the American Thoracic Society, 6MWT is an easy-to-use, better tolerated test that reflects daily activities better than other walking tests. It can be applied in a short time. Requires little equipment. The six-minute walk test, used as a field test, is a simple and inexpensive test compatible with daily activities, which does not require exercise equipment. Before starting the test, the patient should rest for at least 10 minutes by sitting in the chair near the starting point. The walking area must be at least 30 m long. A shorter corridor causes more time to be spent for more frequent turns and changes of direction. With the help of stopwatch, it is kept for 6 minutes and the number of laps during the period is calculated and recorded. The functional capacity of the cases will be evaluated with 6MWT.
