The main objective of this study was to analyze the effect of a resistance training program using outdoor fitness equipment (OFE) on sagittal spine disposition and pelvic tilt in middle-aged and older adults. One hundred and twenty-eight middle-aged and older adults were randomly assigned to the training (TG) or control group (CG). The TG trained for 8 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions of one hour of resistance circuit training with OFE. Before and after the intervention, the sagittal spine disposition and pelvic tilt in the relaxed standing and sitting positions were analyzed. The results showed that the TG obtained a significant reduction (p < 0.001) in all the curvatures of the sagittal spine disposition and pelvic tilt in the standing position after the intervention, in contrast to the CG, which only showed a significant reduction in pelvic tilt (p = 0.005). Regarding the sitting position, only the TG presented a significant decrease in lumbar lordosis (p < 0.001). In conclusion, resistance training with OFE may be useful in improving sagittal spine disposition in middle-aged and older adults. Given the availability of free OFE in parks, the present research provides elders with an accessible and effective training program to curb the effects of ageing on the sagittal spine disposition.
本研究的主要目的是分析使用户外健身器材（OFE）的阻力训练计划对中老年人矢状脊柱排列和骨盆倾斜的影响。128名中老年人被随机分配到训练组（TG）或对照组（CG）。TG组进行为期8周的训练，每周进行2次，每次1小时的OFE阻力循环训练。在干预前后，分析了放松站立和坐姿时的矢状脊柱排列和骨盆倾斜情况。结果显示，与CG组相比，TG组在干预后站立位时矢状脊柱排列和骨盆倾斜的所有曲度均显著降低（p<0.001），而CG组仅骨盆倾斜有显著降低（p=0.005）。关于坐姿，只有TG组腰椎前凸显著降低（p<0.001）。总之，使用OFE进行阻力训练可能有助于改善中老年人的矢状脊柱排列。鉴于公园中免费OFE的可用性，本研究为老年人提供了一个可及且有效的训练计划，以抑制衰老对矢状脊柱排列的影响。
