Research shows that people who stutter are worse at balance and strength exercise. What was you experience? I came across [this](https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/147230519.pdf) paper and was baffled by the findings! Nobody ever mentioned these to me. **tldr** Children who stutter can exhibit the following issues: * Reduced fine motor skills -> e.g. clumsiness * Reduced Balance -> e..g walking on line, standing one 1 leg, skateboarding,... * Reduced strength -> below average situps, push ups, wall sits,... I always struggled with situps and I'm definitely clumsy! The test subjects were children so *I'm very curious to know if you identify yourself with these findings?* Please forgive me if this is not the right format to ask this question. I'm happy to learn :)
