Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Initiate locomotor physical examinations to identify children with impaired balance function. Analyze the data of children who have participated in the locomotor physical checkups over the past 4 years and establish the reference values for balance function. For children whose balance function is judged to be lower than the standard value, distribute a survey form to those who wish to participate in a short-term exercise program specialized in balance function, and recruit participants. Among the children who have participated in the physical exercise examination in the past (approximately 650 children as of September 2022), those whose balance function has been determined to be impaired will be contacted by their guardians to explain the exercise program, and consent for participation will be obtained from the children and their guardians if they wish to participate in the program. Using G*Power (Heinrich Heine University, Germany), with effect size (d = 0.8), two-sided alpha value of 0.05, and power of 0.95, the optimal sample size for this study was confirmed to be 24 participants, therefore, considering a 30% dropout rate, 31 Participants will be recruited.
