About this study
Official title: Investigation of the Effects of Horse-back Riding on Core Muscles in Adolescents
The aim of the study is to examine the effects of riding on the core muscles, balance and muscle strength of the extremities in healthy adolescents.
Core strength, core endurance, balance, upper extremity and lower extremity strength assessments were performed on the study group before and after the riding training.
Read the detailed description
Twenty participants, aged between 10-19 years, research (n=10) and control (n=10) groups, were included in the study. The study group (n=10) received riding training for eight weeks. The study group was evaluated twice before and after riding.The control group only participated in the assessments at the start of the study. Demographic information of all volunteer participants were recorded.
Core strength was evaluated with a stabilizer pressure biofeedback device, and core endurance was evaluated with isometric endurance tests. Balance was evaluated with Star Excursion Balance Test, upper extremity strength was evaluated with hand dynamometer and lower extremity strength was evaluated with back-leg dynamometer.
