Purpose: The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of the lumbar core stabilization training on the lower trunk endurance performance among recreationally active players. Methods: This study is a randomized controlled trial in which 40 recreationally active subjects aged 18À27 years were equally alloted into two groups. One group was the control group, which received no intervention, and other group was the experimental group, which received lumbar core stabilization training of six-week duration. Lower trunk endurance performance was assessed using "time" (in seconds) as the dependent variable according to the various clinical tests such as Sorensen test, Plank tests (prone, right side, left side) and abdominal fatigue test. All test performance was done at day zero (pre-test) and after six weeks (post-test). Data were analyzed by independent t-test for between group comparison and paired t-test for within group comparison. Result: The finding of this study is that core stabilization training significantly improved (p 0:05) for the lower trunk endurance performance. Control group did not show any significant improvement in lower trunk endurance performance. Conclusion: This study concludes that core stability training leads to improvement in the lower trunk endurance performance.

Low back pain (LBP) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder reported in the community, leading to chronic pain and disability. This review aims to determine the effectiveness of prevention and management protocols on LBP in athletes. Methods: Searches were conducted from 2010 to 2022 from international databases, including Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed using keywords related to back pain in athletes. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) presenting the prevention and management protocol for back pain of athletes were included in this review. The physiotherapy evidence database (PEDro) scale was used to check the quality of articles. Results: Finally, 16 articles with 1,317 subjects met the inclusion criteria. These studies have mainly focused on the effect of taping, cognitive functional approach, movement patterns, conditioning, lifestyle, motor control, segmental motion, isokinetic, core stabilization, virtual reality training, dynamic and static stretching, Mézières method, functional movement screen, and semi-customized exercises in athletes at risk of LBP. The positive effect of stability and cognitive exercises were documented. Conclusion: The deep and superficial muscle integration exercises by correcting the body posture and correct muscle calling had the greatest effect on the balance of the muscles.

BackgroundChronic low back pain (CLBP) is an important disorder in athletes that may negatively affect their performance in competitions. The literature usually recommends physiotherapy based on exercises for back pain management in athletes. Recent evidence suggests that interventions based on lumbar muscle stabilisation exercises (LMSE) and back endurance-resistance exercises (BERE) may improve back pain and function performance. However, it is still unclear which type of exercise is more effective for the treatment of CLBP in athletes.ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of LMSE versus BERE in athletes with CLBP.DesignThe study is a 2-arm, prospectively registered, randomised controlled trial.SettingThe physical therapy clinical and biomechanics laboratory of the UNOPAR University.Participants32 male athletes with CLBP, age between 18 and 40 years old, recruited from the local community.InterventionAn 8-week intervention programme will be carried out with LMSE s versus BERE.Measureme...

Background: Low back pain in athletes is common. Core muscles action and function can be understood by the coordination of upper and lower limbs during sports and other dynamic activities. Plyometric exercises are a mainstream type of activity, most generally used to improve athletic performance. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of core stability and plyometric exercises in athletes to improve pain and disability in non-specific low back pain Study design and sampling technique: Current study was the randomized controlled trial. Simple random sampling technique was used in this study. The participants were divided into Group A and B according to Lottery method. Setting and participants: 38 subjects were considered for the study and divided into two equal groups of 19 each, randomly. Age of selected subjects ranges from 20-40 years. Data were collected from PSB. Interventions & data collection tools: Participants of groups A performed core stability e...
Prevalence and incidence of low back pain among runners: a systematic review
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Running is one of the most popular sports worldwide. Despite low back pain (LBP) represents the most common musculoskeletal disorder in population and in sports, there is currently sparse evidence about prevalence, incidence and risk factors for LBP among runners. The aims of this systematic review were to investigate among runners: prevalence and incidence of LBP and specific risk factors for the onset of LBP. Methods A systematic review has been conducted according to the guidelines of the PRISMA statement. The research was conducted in the following databases from their inception to 31st of July 2019: PubMed; CINAHL; Google Scholar; Ovid; PsycINFO; PSYNDEX; Embase; SPORTDiscus; Scientific Electronic Library Online; Cochrane Library and Web of Science. The checklists of The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools were used to investigate the risk of bias of the included studies. Results Nineteen studies were included and the interrater agreement for full-text s...

Introduction: Low back pain is very common in the adult population and accounts for more time lost from work than other diagnoses. It also affects athlete's at all different levels of competition and results in missed practice and game time. Diagnosing and treating a specific pathology is often difficult because clinical evaluation and radiologic studies are often unable to find a root cause. A popular treatment approach with a high volume of anecdotal evidence is the use of core stabilization exercise in the treatment of low back pain. Purpose: To evaluate exercise as a treatment for low back pain with a specific emphasis on core stabilization and provide an outline of exercises and progression to help guide clinicians in treating the athlete with low back pain. Methods: A search of electronic databases was performed including; PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Databased. Key Words used: Lumbar stabilization, core stabilization, low back pain, athletes, exercise, and core strengthening and any combination of these words. Exercises and Progressions: Based on the search of electronic databases their does appear to be some efficacy established in the general population of core stabilization exercises. However, at this time does not appear to be superior to other exercise interventions. There are no specific studies involving athletes so evidence based treatment of athletes using core stabilization is limited. The literature seems to establish a need for total core muscle recruitment to stabilize the spine and does not identify one specific muscle as being critical for spinal stability. The program designed is based on firing of the entire core muscular to stabilize the spine with an emphasis to functional movements that imitate sport-like situations. The exercises chosen were based on how effectively they challenge the muscle groups without causing loads that may be detrimental to recovery and pain free movement. Conclusion: Due to the demands placed on the athlete's lumbar vertebrae, spinal instability may be a significant source of pain in athlete not diagnosed with other pathologies. While at this time there is insufficient evidence to support or refute the use of stabilization exercise in the treatment of low back pain in athlete's, this paper hopefully gives insight into some exercises that may be used to reestablish core muscle strength and endurance.

Background and Study Aim. Low-back pain (LBP) has increasingly been the leading cause affecting work performance, daily activities, and rising the cost of healthcare services. Currently, sitting time increases and walking activity lessens among people. The purpose of this study - identify the effect of Core Stabilization Exercise (CSE) with walking on pain perception and LBP disability among people who suffered from non-specific low-back pain (NSLBP). Material and Methods. In this study, a total of 36 active people (18-42 years old) with BMI≥24.9 kg.m-2 voluntarily participated and were divided randomly into three groups. Intervention groups included CSE group (CSEG; n=12), CSE with walking (CSEWG; n=12), and control group (CG; n=12). The intervention groups carried out the exercise programs (CSE with and without 30 minutes of walking), three times a week for six weeks. In this study, the pain perception was assessed via the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and LBP disability was ...
