NCT ID NCT06990581
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested whether core exercises improve trunk stability and balance in 50 well-trained women. Participants did regular or specific core exercises, and researchers measured their trunk stability, balance, and strength. The goal was to see which exercises work best for core fitness.
