      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomization is based on the Random Number Generator software version 1.1 and uses the SNOSE method to assign double groups based on allocation concealment. 
The randomization of subjects was done in two stages. First, each of the subjects chooses a number between 1-30 using a lottery, then fifteen random numbers are selected between the numbers 1-30 using the Random number generator software, and according to the generated numbers, the chosen numbers of subjects are divided into two groups.

Random Number Generator is a simple software for generating random numbers between two specified numbers. To use this software, it is enough to determine the smallest and largest number as well as the wanted number of random numbers and click on the Generate integer button to generate random numbers corresponding to the number and in the specified interval. The software can be downloaded from the following site:
http://fa.softoware.org/apps/get-random-number-generator-66296-for-windows.html.

To allocation concealment, the closed-sequence envelope method with random allocation (SNOSE) will be used. An accident is recorded on a card and the cards are placed inside the named cleaners in order. In order to maintain random randomness, the numbering on the external surface is done in the same way. Finally, the lids of the letter envelopes are pasted and placed inside the boxes, respectively. At the beginning of the registration of the participants, according to the order of the participants and the conditions of the study, one of them is a special test book or letter, Blinding description: In the study, the outcome valuators (laboratory technicians) will be asked to take the desired tests from the participants. These people will be unaware of the purpose of the research, the allocation of study group, and the reason for their presence in the laboratory, and they only evaluate the variables and record their observations.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group:Body balance exercises will be for 8 weeks and 3 sessions of one-hour each week. The body balance protocol includes breathing, stretching, balance and strength exercises.To do the exercises, tools that help the mobility of soft tissue will be used. Intervention 2: Control group: No Intervention.</i_freetext>
