Background:
Stronger core muscles increase the body's stability, which reduces lower back
and lower body pain by enhancing neuromuscular summations. Strengthening core
muscles is also necessary for many daily chores and sports. It is an essential
prerequisite. Numerous muscles make up the complex of core muscles. Core
strength training is a useful and safe training technique that greatly enhances
the health and skill-related components of physical fitness for individuals in
normal health. An imbalance or weakening in the muscles that make up the core
might result in more weariness, a reduced capacity to sustain sports injuries,
and a higher risk of getting hurt. For overall musculoskeletal health,
rehabilitation, and performance enhancement, instability resistance training,
or IRT, is widely used. Numerous equipments make an effort to create an
unstable surface. Literature partially advises to perform strength training on
unstable surfaces as opposed to stable ones. Thus the need of this study arises
to see the impact of core strengthening exercises using stable and unstable
surfaces in normal healthy individuals.
Methodology:
Participants from constituent colleges of Sumandeep Vidyapeeth will be
contacted and given information about the study. Individuals who satisfy the
eligibility requirements and express interest in taking part in the research
will be asked to complete an informed consent form. Participants who meet the
exclusion requirements will not be allowed to continue with the study. Using
basic randomization, participants will be assigned at random to either the
interventional group or the control group. Following the completion of the
assessment, the patient will receive care in accordance with the treatment plan
developed for either the interventional group or the control group. Both the
interventional group and the control group will administer a 4-week course of
treatment to their subjects, with three days of intervention per week. Both
primary and secondary outcome measures will be taken as per the schedule.
Outcome
Measures: Primary Outcome: Core muscle Strength assessment by pressure
biofeedback, and Secondary Outcome: Core muscle Strength assessment by Plank
Test
Statistical
Analysis: Descriptive statistics will be done by taking help of a Biostatistician.
The latest version of SPSS software available with the Biostatistician will be
used for doing the statistical analysis.
Conclusion:
This RCT study protocol will see the impact of core strengthening exercises
using stable and unstable surface in improving core muscle strength in normal
healthy individuals, the results will help in the decision making of the
strength training protocols.
Clinical
Trial Registration: The study is registered with Clinical Trials Registry-
India (CTRI), with the registration number for the trial being
CTRI/2023/06/053533.
