Abstract
Introduction: Flat foot and postural control problems is one of the most common physical and motor disorders among students. The aim of this study was to comparison of the effects of comprehensive corrective thera band and water resistance training protocols on the correction of flexible flat foot and postural control in boy students with overweight.
Material and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, which was performed as a pre-test, post-test with a control group, a total of 60 overweight students with flexible flat foot were selected purposefully and divided into three
equal groups (Thera band exercise, water resistance training and control) randomly. The experimental groups performed correction exercises for 8 weeks, 3 sessions with 45 minutes per week. Variables were measured at the baseline and after 8 weeks of correction program. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance by SPSS 24 software at the significance level of p≤0.05.
Results: The results showed that the two protocols; theraband exercise, and water resistance training had a significant effect on the improvement of flexible flat feet in overweight male students with coefficients of 0.23, and 0.15, respectively (p ≤0.05). Furthermore, the significant effect was confirmed of these two correction protocols on the improvement of postural control with coefficients of 0.21, and 0.35 respectively (p≤ 0.05).
Conclusions: These findings indicate that the two correction exercises of this study have a significant effect on the improvement of flexible flat feet and postural control. Therefore, it is recommended trainers of corrective movements, rehabilitation centers and corrective movements use these training methods.
