Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of core stabilization exercises applied in addition to the conventional exercise program on physical function, functional muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, postural control and fatigue in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia receiving maintenance treatment. Participants will be divided into two groups; the first group will be given a conventional exercise program, while the second group will be given core stabilization exercises in addition to the conventional exercise program.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Children aged 7-18
- Diagnosed with ALL

- Children with any cardiovascular disease, acute or chronic respiratory disease
- Children with acute or chronic bone, joint, muscle problems
- Children diagnosed with neuromotor deficits or genetic disorders
- Children with vision problems other than refractive errors
Interventions
Aerobic exercise and stretching exercises will be applied in the conventional exercise program. A 20-30 minute walking will be done as aerobic exercise. Stretching exercises will be done for major muscle groups in 3 sets and 10 repetitions.
In addition to the conventional exercise program, core stabilization exercises will be applied. During the exercises, participants will be trained on neutralizing the spine and working the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles, correct postural control, and performing the exercises with diaphragmatic breathing.
