Purpose: This pilot study was aim to examine the effect of 4-week core muscle training on physical fitness among obese adolescents.

The exercise group performed core exercise program 3 times/week, for 4 consecutive weeks, while the control group continued their normal daily activities and did not participated in core muscle training. Sit-to-stand test and sit up test were assessed at baseline and after exercise program.
Results After 4 weeks of exercise, results found an improvement in muscle strength together with endurance in exercise group which was displayed by significant decreased time during five times sit-to-stand test while increased sit up repetitions either compared with baseline or the control group (p < 0.05).
