When estimating the nature of changes in strength indices, it has been established that the strength of the right hand of the students of the experimental group has increased significantly throughout the study compared to the control group. Similar changes occurred in terms of the left hand. The back strength index in the experimental group has increased more throughout the study period as compared to the control group.
