Purpose: The objective of this research was to compare the impact of core stability and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization training (DNS) on knee valgus and motor function of 11-14-year-old students.
Methods: This research was quasi-experimental design. For this reason,60 female students from Tehran (average age of 11.5 years) were selected as the participant of this research, and they were randomly divided into three groups, core stability training, DNS training, and control. Knee valgus and movement function were measured by Q angle and functional movement screening test before and after the intervention. The subjects of the experimental groups did the exercises for 6 weeks and 3 sessions every week so that each session was 60 minutes. One-way analysis of variance, LSD post hoc test was utilized to compare the groups, while the paired t-test was employed to assess the effects within each group.
Results: The results of the present research demonstrated that there was a notable difference between the functional movement screening test scores and knee valgus angle in the two experimental groups (DNS exercises and core stability exercises) with the control group. However, no noteworthy difference was observed in the comparison of scores between the two experimental groups.
Conclusion: overall, it can be concluded that both DNS and core stability training significantly improve scores on functional movement screening tests and decrease the knee valgus angle.
