BACKGROUND/AIM: To investigate the effects of an 8-week thoracic stabilization exercise program on back pain, spinal alignment, postural sway, and core endurance in university students.
University students were randomly allocated into exercise (n: 28) and control (n: 25) groups. The exercise program was carried out 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Postural pain, spinal alignment, postural sway, and core endurance were assessed via visual analogue scale, Spinal Mouse, Biodex Balance System, and McGill's trunk muscle endurance tests at the baseline and after 8 weeks of training.
Differences were observed for postural pain, thoracic and lumbar curvature, dynamic stability index (eyes closed), and core endurance scores in the exercise group between baseline and week 8 (P < 0.05) and all the parameters were significantly different when compared to those of the control group (P < 0.05).
The program decreased postural pain, spinal curvatures, and postural sway, and increased core endurance in university students. The program can be effective in postural pain and misalignment of spine problems related to core weakness and balance disorders.
背景/目的：探讨 8 周的胸肌稳定性训练对大学生腰痛、脊柱排列、姿势摆动和核心耐力的影响。
大学生被随机分为运动组（n=28）和对照组（n=25）。运动方案每周进行 3 天，共 8 周。通过视觉模拟评分、脊柱鼠标、Biodex 平衡系统和 McGill 躯干肌肉耐力测试，在基线和 8 周训练后评估姿势疼痛、脊柱排列、姿势摆动和核心耐力。
运动组在基线和第 8 周时的姿势疼痛、胸腰椎曲率、动态稳定指数（闭眼）和核心耐力评分上存在差异（P<0.05），与对照组相比，所有参数均有显著差异（P<0.05）。
该方案可降低大学生的姿势疼痛、脊柱弯曲和姿势摆动，增加核心耐力。该方案可有效改善与核心力量和平衡障碍相关的姿势疼痛和脊柱排列问题。
