Research of the specialized training program effect for gymnasts lower back pain, activeness of deep body`s muscles activation and motion control in the lumbar – pelvic region

Aim of an assay – evaluate a specialized training program effect for gymnast’s lower back pain, activeness of deep body`s muscle activation and motion control in the lumbar – pelic region. Objectives of an assay: 1. To analyse and evaluate the gymnasts’ lower back pain before and after specialized training program. 2. To analyse and evaluate the gymnasts’ midsection endurance before and after specialized training program. 3. To analyse and evaluate gymnasts’ ability to activate midsection muscles before and after specialized training program. 4. To analyse and evaluate the gymnasts’ lumbar – pelvic motion control before and after specialized training program. The research and methods: The study involved 40 girls from 10 to 17 years of age, which is explained study. Were divided into four groups. Three participants groups consisted of different branch representatives: engaging in rhythmic gymnastics (n = 10), artistic gymnastics (n = 11) and aerobic gymnastics (n = 10). Control group had participants from all the groups (n = 9). Girls filling the questionnaire and accepting to participate in investigation. Given questionnaire’s survey (Back pain evaluation,”Roland – Morris functional inability questionnaire” and analogy of numbers’scale (SAS)). Static pelvis area stability and deep muscle activation evaluation using pressure measure apparatus with recurrent reference “Stabilizer”. Evaluation of control of pelvic movement using 6 tests selection by Hanny Luomajoki (“Movement control tests”). Back, abdomen and side trunk muscle power stamina evaluation using static dispense tests, measuring the time using a chronometer. Special training programme was applied to three groups for 35 – 40 minutes, 3 times a week, 18 times. Testing was done twice (one time before the research, second time – after the research). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 21.0 for Windows and Microsoft Office Excel 2010 \"computer programs. Conclusions: 1. At the beginning of the study all gymnasts suffered from lower back pain. After the study in the control group, pain intensity and duration does not change, whereas in the impact groups it is reduced. Specialized training program reduces the impact of lower back pain on gymnasts’ functional 7 state and pain duration decreases more in artistic and rhythmic gymnastics groups than in the control group. 2. At the beginning of the study midsection static endurance did not differ between the groups. After the study in the control group midsection static endurance does not change, whereas in the impact groups it increases. Specialized training program had no effect on the stability of the gymnasts’ midsection muscles. 3. At the beginning of the study about half of the gymnasts were able to activate deep midsection muscles and after the specialized training programs more than half of the gymnasts were able to do the same. Specialized training program for separate groups does not affect the number of gymnasts able to activate the transverse abdominal muscle, and it increases the number of gymnasts able to activate transverse abdominal and buttock muscles only in artistic gymnastics group. 4. At the beginning of the study less than half of the subjects were able to complete the half of – lumbarpelvic motion control tests, and more than half of the surveyed gymnasts completed the rest part of tests. Specialized training program had a positive influence on more than half of lumbar and pelvic motion control tests and more than half of the surveyed gymnasts were able to complete these tests
