The research method was quasi-experimental and the research design was pretest-posttest with control group. In this study, the TGMD2 test was used. Shapiro–Wilk test was used to check the natural distribution of data. Data were analyzed using MANCOVA. P ≤ 0.05 was considered as the level of significance.
Results: The results showed that selected exercises and core stability can improve object control skills. The results showed that selected exercises and core stability can improve object control skills.
