Abstract

Background and Aim: Lack of movement control and reduction of ROM in Lumbar vertebrae are among the most important risk factors resulting in low back pain. Therefore, focus on these factors is important to alleviate low back pain. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of TRX resistance training on functional capacity and lumbar range of motion in middle aged men with non-specific chronic low back pain
Materials and Methods: In the current quasi-experimental study, a total of 24 middle aged men with non-specific chronic low back pain were objectively selected. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: experimental (mean±SD; age: 43:12±4.2 year, weight: 74.3±6.11 kg, height:1.72/4±5.32 meter, n=12) and control group (mean±SD; age: 41.8±3.12year, weight: 77.93±4.22 kg, height:1.76/86±3.13 meter, n=12). The experimental group performed TRX Resistance Training for eight weeks (three sessions per week). In order to assess Functional Capacity and Lumbar range of motion in participants, the 6-minute walking distance test and motion analysis system were used. For data analysis, repeated measure ANOVA was run at the significance level of α≤0/05.
Results: The findings showed that TRX resistance training had significant effects on functional capacity and lumbar range of motion in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain compared that of control group (α ≤0/05).
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, the TRX resistance training is recommended as an adjunct method in the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain. Further studies with larger sample size are needed to support the results of the current study.
