Comparing the Effect of two kinds of the traditional and the NASM corrcetive exercises training protocols on the correction of hyperlordosis in female students

The hyperlordosis is one of the most common disorders among girls and it has been cosidered to achieve an appropriate program to reduce the amount of deformity. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of two kinds of traditional and NASM corrcetive exercises training protocols on the correction of hyperlordosis in female students. In this quasi-experimental study, four hundred students aged 18 to 22 years were randomly selected and screened. Fourty five students that had more than 30 degree lumbar lurdosis angle curve were recruited to be analyzed. Then they were randomly divided into three groups: the traditional exercises, the NASM exercises and control group. The Experimental groups attended in exercise session three times a week for 8-week. Each session last 60 minutes. Data were analyzed by repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) (P<0.05). Significant interactions were observed within 3 groups and tests (F(2, 42) = 43.3, P<0.01). Contrasts revealed that ratings of lumbar lordisis decrease in NASM group (F(2, 42) = 95.2, P<0.0, ES=.9) and traditional group (F(2, 42) = 17.2, P<0.01, ES=.7) and were significantly higher than control group. It can be conclouded that the NASM corrcetive exercises training protocol was more effective in reducing lumbar lordosis and it is recommended to clinicians, coaches, athletic trainers and other health related specialists to put this protocol for correcting the lumbar hyperlordosis.
