The control group has not participated in any exercise program during this time. Eurofit tests have been performed twice before and immediately after the training program. The data obtained from the study was analyzed with the help of the SPSS 16 package program. The comparison of values in both groups was analyzed using the T-test at the p<0.05 meaning level, taking into account the pre-test, last-test values. Before and after the exercise program body weight, length, vertical jumping, standing long jumping, pencil strength (right-left hand), dragging, flexibility values increased significantly (p<0.05), a significant decrease in flamingo balance (p<0.05).
