Physical activity and exercise benefits/barriers in mothers of children with motor disabilities.

Background: Mothers of children with motor disabilities face physical and emotional burdens.

Aims: This study aimed to determine the physical activity levels, exercise-related barriers, and facilitators in mothers of children with motor disabilities and investigate the differences between the physical activity levels of mothers who have children with different motor functional status.

An online pilates exercise program is effective on proprioception and core muscle endurance in a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Proprioception is important for stability of body segments, postural control, and functionality. However, there are no studies in literature showing effects of online Pilates exercises that create proprioceptive inputs on vertebra on trunk proprioception.

Aims: This study aims to reveal effect of online Pilates exercises conducted on trunk proprioception and core muscle endurance in healthy individuals.
