Prone plank exercises

Patients in this group will recieve prone plank exercises, three times a week, for eight weeks, and with a moderate hard intensity. During the first four weeks, the exercises session began with light walking for five minutes followed by corrected exercises. Firstly, women will perform stable prone plank exercises. Secondly, women will be asked to apply the unilateral position of prone plank. Thirdly, using a 65 cm diameter Swiss ball, women will be asked to assume the prone bridge position. During the last four weeks, women will be asked to repeat the same program noting that the progressive prone plank exercises should be applied in a dosage of 20 repetitions, three sets, holding the contraction for one minute, and taking a break for two minutes.
