Core strength training for young optimist sailors
This study tests a core (abdominal and back) muscle training program to see if it improves balance and body control in young competitive sailors. Participants will do the training for 12 weeks, and researchers will measure changes in body measurements and ability to control posture.

This trial compares two types of exercises — pelvic control training with a pressure sensor versus core stability training — to see which one works better for relieving low back pain. It may help if you are a young adult with no other health issues affecting your back or balance.
This study looks at core stability, balance, muscle strength, and fatigue in children and teens with demyelinating diseases (conditions where the immune system attacks the nerves). By assessing these areas, the researchers hope to understand the impact of the disease and guide future rehabilitation.
