Objective: The purpose of the study was to compare effects of PNF and core stability exercise on balance, flexibility and endurance in overweight females. Also to find whether core stability or PNF, which one of these improves flexibility, endurance and balance.Method: 45 subjects who fulfilled the criteria were divided into three groups of 15 each. Group 1 core stability, group 2 PNF, Group 3 control group. All the three groups were first given warm up for 10 min. then group 1 was given core stability exercises, group 2 PNF techniques for four weeks, and control group was not given any regimen. Pre intervention and post intervention scores were recorded and analysed.
Data Analysis and Results: Related T Test was used to compare pre and post intervention values for statistical significance. One way ANOVA was used analyze data for statistical significance among the groups. Result showed a statistically significant difference among groups for scores of curl up test, Sorensen back extension test and star excursion balance test.
Conclusion: Core Stabilization and P.N.F. techniques of Rhythmic stabilization and combination of isotonics improve endurance and balance. Core stabilization is more effective than P.N.F. techniques of Rhythmic stabilization and combination of isotonics in improving endurance and balance. Core Stabilization and P.N.F. techniques of Rhythmic stabilization and combination of isotonics have no effect on flexibility.
