Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of core stability and neuromuscular exercises on FMS of male wrestlers aged 9 to 12 years. The present study is a quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-test design. The statistical population of the study consisted of male wrestlers aged 9 to 12 years and the sample consisted of 45 wrestlers in Esfarayen. After performing the FMS, they were randomly divided into three groups: control, experimental1 and experimental2. The control group performed routine wrestling, experimental1 neuromuscular and experimental2 core stability exercises for 6 weeks. Paired t-test and analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. The overall results showed the effect of core stability and neuromuscular exercises on wrestlers' FMS. Therefore, coaches are advised to use these exercises in wrestlers' training programs due to the importance of FMS test in pre-season evaluations and prevention of sports injuries.
