What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Introduction: Childhood obesity can impair postural control, balance, and motor skills, thereby limiting participation in physical activity. Aerobic exercise is widely used to improve cardiovascular fitness and support weight management in children with obesity. In recent years, however, Progressive Neuromuscular Stabilization (PNS) exercises, which aim to retrain the neuromuscular system, have been suggested to have beneficial effects on core stability, balance, and postural control. Technology-assisted exercise interventions may increase children's participation and enhance motivation throughout the rehabilitation process. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of technology-assisted PNS exercises with conventional aerobic exercise in children with obesity. Methods: This study will be conducted among children attending the Department of Pediatrics, Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa
