The participant in core stabilization exercise with ball group performed 12 training sessions of the core stabilization exercises, 3 days/week for 4 weeks. Each exercise took 15 times/set and each participant did it repeatedly for 3 sets and rested 1 minute between sets. The total time of core stabilization exercise was 20 minutes and assessment time was 10 minutes.
