Abstract

Background and Aims: Swayback abnormality is one of the most common abnormalities in the spine and is the most common abnormality in the age range of 18 to 25 years, with an outbreak in non-athlete individuals ranging from 10% to 62%. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of NASM exercises on sway back of Tabriz high school girl students.
Materials and Methods: In the current semi-experimental research, among the non-athletic female students of Tabriz city, the lateral aspect of sway backs was identified using a primary screening by graph sheet to observe the spine status. Then, the researcher selected 30 students with the highest deviation in this anomaly. Next, they were randomly divided into two groups of 15 experimental participants with the mean age 14.23 ± 0.66 yrs, height 147.73 ± 27.27 cm, and weight 48.43 ± 4.44 kg, and 15 participants in control group with the mean age of 14.28 ± 0.63 yrs, height 147.33 ± 6.55 cm, and weight 48.53 ± 4.24 kg. Forward head, back kyphosis, lordosis, anterior tilt, and quality of life variables were measured and recorded using cervical donor, flexible ruler, tilt meter, and quality of life questionnaire SF-36 before and after the training period. The experimental group performed weekly three sessions of 50 minutes of NASM corrective exercises for eight weeks, while those in the control group performed their daily activities. Data were analyzed using ANOVA for repeated data at a significance level of P≤0.05.
Results: The results showed that eight weeks of NASM exercises had a significant effect on the forward head, back kyphosis, lordosis, anterior tilt, and quality of life variables of high school female students.
Conclusion: According to the results, the new NASM series of exercises seems to be effective as a new approach to improving abnormality. Therefore, this exercise program is recommended for coaches, therapists, and specialists.
