20.500.12556/RUL-171737 The effect of a hatha yoga exercise programme with segmental stabilisation exercises on trunk flexibility Učinek hatha joge, stopnjevane po načelih segmentne stabilizacije hrbtenice in medenice, na gibčnost trupa Introduction In addition to sufficient trunk muscle endurance, adequate trunk flexibility, i.e. trunk muscle extensibility and spinal mobility, is an important element for the stability of the spine and pelvis. The aim of this intervention study was to investigate the effects of a preventive exercise programme on trunk flexibility. Methods The participants were healthy adults without pain or injury in the lower back. They were divided into two groups: the exercise group (EG), which performed a hatha yoga exercise programme with segmental stabilisation exercises (12 weeks), and the control group (CG), in which they maintained their previous lifestyle during the study period. Before and after the intervention the measured variables, the extensibility of the trunk muscles and the mobility of the thoracolumbar spine were compared. Results Seventy-two participants (nEG=36, age 32.2±6.8 years; nCG=36, age 29.9±7.8 years) took part in the study. After the exercise programme, the EG participants achieved significantly better extensibility of the iliopsoas muscle (p≤0.001), the V-Sit and Reach Test (p=0.001) and the mobility of the thoracolumbar spine (p<0.05). Significant differences between the two groups were found in four of five extensibility tests (p≤0.041) and in flexion, left lateral flexion and right rotation of the spine (p≤0.036). Conclusions The proposed exercise programme indicated a significant improvement in trunk flexibility. Future studies should investigate the long-term effects of the proposed exercise programme on a larger number of participants. Uvod Poleg primerne vzdržljivosti mišic trupa predstavljata pomembna elementa sistema stabilnosti hrbtenice in medenice tudi primerna raztegljivost mišic trupa in ustrezna gibljivost hrbtenice. Namen raziskave je bil preveriti učinke hatha joge, stopnjevane po načelih segmentne stabilizacije hrbtenice in medenice, na gibčnost trupa. Metode V raziskavo so bili vključeni zdravi odrasli brez bolečin in/ali poškodb hrbtenice in medenice, ki pred vključitvijo v raziskavo niso redno izvajali vadb za izboljšanje raztegljivosti mišic in/ali gibljivosti hrbtenice. Razdeljeni so bili v dve skupini: vadbeno (VS), v kateri so v obdobju treh mesecev, dvakrat na teden po 60 minut, izvajali hatha jogo, stopnjevano po načelih segmentne stabilizacije hrbtenice in medenice; ali v primerjalno (PS), v kateri niso spreminjali svojega trenutnega življenjskega sloga. Ob vključitvi v raziskavo (PRED) in po končanem trimesečnem vadbenem obdobju (PO) je bila merjena raztegljivost mišic trupa in kolka ter gibljivost prsno-ledvenega dela hrbtenice. Analizirane so bile spremembe merjenih spremenljivk (PRED-PO, VS-PS). Rezultati V raziskavi je sodelovalo 72 preiskovancev (nVS = 36, stari 32,2 ± 6,8 let; nPS = 36, stari 29,9 ± 7,8 let). Preiskovanci VS so po zaključku vadbenega programa dosegli statistično značilno boljšo raztegljivost mišice iliopsoas in rezultat testa V-doseg sede (p ≤ 0,001) ter gibljivost prsno-ledvenega dela hrbtenice (p < 0,05). Med skupinama VS in PS so bile statistično značilne razlike ugotovljene pri štirih od petih testov raztegljivosti mišic (p ≤ 0,041) ter pri izboljšanju obsega fleksije, lateralne fleksije v levo ter rotacije hrbtenice v desno stran (p ≤ 0,036). Zaključki S hatha jogo, stopnjevano po načelih segmentne stabilizacije hrbtenice in medenice, lahko pomembno izboljšamo gibčnost trupa, in sicer tako z vidika boljše raztegljivosti nekaterih mišic kot tudi gibljivosti prsno-ledvenega dela hrbtenice. V nadaljnjih raziskavah bi bilo smiselno preveriti še dolgoročne učinke vadbenega programa na večjem vzorcu preiskovancev stabilisation exercises prevention low back pain stabilizacijska vadba preventiva bolečina v spodnjem delu hrbta true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-09-01 11:40:43 2025-09-01 11:40:44 2025-09-18 03:37:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 152-159 št. 3 Letn. 64 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 615.8 0351-0026 10.2478/sjph-2025-0019 240541443 The-Effect-of-a-Hatha-Yoga-Exercise-Programme-with-Segmental-Stabilisation-Exercises-on-Trunk-Flexibility.pdf The-Effect-of-a-Hatha-Yoga-Exercise-Programme-with-Segmental-Stabilisation-Exercises-on-Trunk-Flexibility.pdf 1 F7547AF674142DA26C3121CD6E8D2C15 e23b7893a7b1cd4556c7550968ac40c1994e9a6bb0bd47a7c8a3016bf93dcf4e 70bc20f2-8718-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=215129 https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/sjph-2025-0019 0 82aff84e-8718-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=215130 Zdravstvena fakulteta Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
