Abstract

Abstract: Summary: Core stability exercises and exercises that stimulate sensory-motor information are recommended for the prevention of injuries and the maintenance and rehabilitation of deficits related to postural control (PC). However, the comparison of results between core stability and sensory-motor exercises in the literature is limited to sitting and standing positions. Objective: To determine the acute effect of core stability and sensory-motor exercises on PC during sitting and standing in young adults. Methods: A total of 39 participants, with a mean age of 23 years, were randomly divided into three groups (1) Core stability exercises; (2) Sensory-motor exercises; (3) Control. Each group performed a sequence of five specific exercises of core stability and sensory-motor exercises (except controls). PC was evaluated before and after exercise in the seated and the one-legged stance conditions using a force platform. Results: No significant difference was found for any variables of postural oscillation (P > 0.05) among the three groups studied. The magnitude of the effect of interventions in general was a small to moderate effect (d = 0.02/-0.48). Conclusion: The findings show that acute intervention with core stability and sensory-motor exercises did not produce any significant effects (reduction of postural oscillation) on PC during sitting and standing positions in young adults. Highlights: Acute exercise did not improve the postural control. Postural control in sitting and standing positions have similar effects after acute exercises. When the postural control system is adapted the integration of responses may take longer to induce an effect.
