The present study aimed to investigate the effects of core exercises performed in fitness center on
functional movement test scores. Population of the study consists of sedentary subjects between the
ages of 20-50, while the sample consists of 17 women. At the end of the 4-week training period in 17
female subjects, decrease was observed in the parameters of body mass index, the amount of body fat
as percentage, age of metabolism, basal metabolic rate in calories, amount of fat, bone, fluid and muscle
in the body in kilograms. An increase was observed in the parameters of impedance right leg, left leg,
right arm, trunk and basal metabolic rate in kilograms. No change was observed in the parameters of
impedance left arm and non-fat body in kilogram. In fat measurements, a decrease was observed in the
parameters of the right leg, right arm, left arm and trunk as percentage. No changes were observed in
the amount of fat in the left leg in kilograms; the right leg, left leg, right arm, left arm, and trunk. No
changes were found in muscle measurements in kilograms. A statistically significant difference was
found between the functional movement analysis pre-test and post-test averages of the subjects.
As a result, population of the study can be expanded and the number of people in the sample group
can be increased. The subject group of our study consists of women, and in future studies, it is possible
to work with a male group. Demographic information can be increased and comparisons can be made
with different variables. Core exercises can be generalized to create a health culture. Exercise areas can
be created where office employees can benefit from in the work environment. It is possible to work with
athletes who do active sports or who have a specific branch in future research.
