Temel oyunculuk eğitimi alan bireylerde kor stabilizasyon egzersizlerinin solunum fonksiyonlarına, gövde kas enduransına ve postural stabilizasyona etkisi

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a 8-week, core stabilization exercise program on respiratory functions, muscle trunk endurance and postural stabilization in individuals taking basic acting education. The study included 31 volunteer healthy actor candidate (18F, 13M; 27.17±6.02 years) who are taking basic acting education at DC Kozmos Art Academy between June 2020 - October 2020. The respiratory functions were assessed by the spirometer. Trunk muscle endurance was assessed by Fleksor Trunk Endurance Test (FTET), Biering Sorenson Test (BST) and Lateral Bridge Test (LBT). Postural stabilization was evaluated by Flamingo Balance Test (FBT) and Y Balance Test (YBT). The participants were randomly divided into two groups as Exercise Group (EG) (n=15) and Control Group (CG) (n=16). Both people in EG and CG were taken diaphragmatic training program according to BAE. The core stabilization exercise program was administered for EG, twice a week, 45 minutes a day and for a 8-week duration while CG was only evaluated in the begginning and at the end of the study. According to the main results of this study comparing two groups, EG and CG showed greater improvement in FEV1, FVC and PEF parameters, (p<0.05 for both EG and CG). EG showed statistically difference in FTET, BST and LBT while CG had improvement in only LBT(P<0.05). In FBT and YBT, EG had significant improvement while CG had only enhancement in right anterior and posteromedial side in YBT. Consistent with the hypothesis, our findings suggest that the core stabilization exercises were effective to improve respiratory functions, trunk muscle endurance and postural stabilization in individuals taking basic acting education. Key Words: core stabilization exercise, basic acting education, respiratory functions, trunk muscle endurance, postural stabilization.
