Obesity
Conditions
Brief summary
Downhill training help to improve musculoskeletal condition. Applying downhill training could help obese children by improving their muscular strength.
Detailed description
the current study aimed to find the effect of downhill training on the ankle isokinetic parameters of obese children. There were two experimental groups, the first received level walking while the second received downhill training. The ankle isokinetic parameters were assessed pre and post-intervention for 6 weeks.
Interventions
