ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study was planned to investigate the effect of core stabilization exercises on upper extremity motor skills in overweight and obese children. Material and Methods: The study, which included obese, overweight and normal weight children, was designed as a quasi-experimental controlled study. An eight-week core stabilization exercise program was implemented to the children. In the first two-weeks of the eight-weeks exercise training, the children were taught how to stabilize the core region. Upper extremity motor skills were evaluated before-after the exercise program. The push-up test, grip strength measurement, Modified Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (M-CKCUEST), Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 Short Form (BOT-2 SF), was used to evaluate upper extremity motor skills. SPSS 25.0 program was used for statistical analysis of the data. Significance level was determined as p0.05). Conclusion: Core stabilization exercises in overweight and obese children can improve upper extremity motor skills.

Keywords: Obesity; core stability; upper extremity
ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, fazla kilolu ve obez çocuklarda kor stabilizasyon egzersizlerinin üst ekstremite motor becerilerine etkisini araştırmak amacıyla planlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Obez, fazla kilolu ve normal kilolu çocukların dâhil edildiği çalışma yarı deneysel kontrollü bir çalışma olarak tasarlandı. Çocuklara 8 haftalık kor stabilizasyon egzersiz programı uygulandı. Sekiz haftalık egzersiz eğitiminin ilk iki haftasında çocuklara kor bölgesini nasıl stabilize edecekleri öğretildi. Egzersiz programı öncesi ve sonrası üst ekstremite motor becerileri değerlendirildi. Üst ekstremite motor becerilerini değerlendirmek için şınav testi, kavrama kuvveti ölçümü, Modifiye Kapalı Kinetik Zincir Üst Ekstremite Stabilite Testi (M-KKZÜEST), Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Yeterlilik Testi-2 Kısa Form (BOT-2 KF) kullanıldı. Verilerin istatistiksel analizinde SPSS 25.0 programı kullanıldı. Anlamlılık düzeyi p0,05). Sonuç: Aşırı kilolu ve obez çocuklarda kor stabilizasyon egzersizleri üst ekstremite motor becerilerini geliştirebilir.
