Özet:

 Objective: It is known that spine-related pain is the most common problem in adulthood and that pain in childhood is a significant risk factor for pain in adulthood. This project was planned to raise awareness about spine health and exercise habits in children and adolescents. Method: The project included ten girls and one boy. An exercise program was applied to the individuals, including stretching, strengthening, and posture exercises for 60 minutes, two days a week for six weeks. Pain intensity was evaluated using the Numeric Pain Scale, posture using the New York State Posture Scale, quality of life using the Pediatric Quality of Life Questionnare, and body image using the Childrens Body Image Scale. Balance tests on one leg, sit-up tests, handgrip muscle strength tests, and sit-to-stand flexibility tests were used to evaluate the physical fitness of the individuals. All assessments were repeated at baseline and after six weeks. Results: After the exercise program, there was an increase in the results of the sit-to-stand test evaluating flexibility and hand grip strength performance evaluating muscle strength p0.05. The level of dissatisfaction decreased in body image results p0.05. No change was observed in the quality of life scores of the individuals after the program p0.05. Discussion: As a result of the project, an improvement was observed in physical fitness parameters, including muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and body image. If the exercise and education program is continued, it may be beneficial in preventing spinal pain and recurrence in children.
