Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of the study is to determine the Effects of Core Strengthening and Pilates Exercises on Posture, Body Awareness, and Fatigue among Female Athletes. The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A \& B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive Core Strengthening exercises. Group B will receive Pilates exercises. York posture rating chart, body awareness scale, and modified fatigue impact scale will be done at the baseline and after the completion of treatment at 6 weeks.

The data will be analyzed by SPSS, version 25. Statistical significance is P=0.05.
