Abstract :
the purpose of this research was the effect of physical fitness exercises on dynamic balance and static balance in hearing impaired girls aged 13 to 15 years with vestibular system dysfunction in Mashhad. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all hearing-impaired girls with bilateral vestibular problems aged 13 to 15 in Mashhad. The statistical sample was selected in a targeted manner and randomly selected in two experimental and control groups (12 people in each group). The experimental group participated in a physical fitness program for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week and 60 minutes per session. The control group only did daily and normal activities. Balance tests were taken from the participants before and after the training period. The statistical method of independent t-test was used using spss21 software to compare between two groups. The results showed that physical fitness exercises increased both static balance and dynamic balance in 13 to 15-year-old hearing-impaired girls with vestibular dysfunction (P<0.05). This indicates that hearing impaired children can improve their balance by participating in a physical fitness training program that includes 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week for 60 minutes.
