Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of core strength training based on total resistance exercise (TRX) for the flying personnel with nonspecific low back pain (NLBP).Methods:Flying personnel with NLBP who recuperated in Air Force Healthcare Center for Special Services Hangzhou from October of 2019 to June of 2021 were selected. They were divided into test group and control group by simple random sampling. The test group received 4 weeks of TRX core strength training, and the control group received 4 weeks of traditional core strength training. The isokinetic muscle strength testing instrument was used to measure the muscle strength characteristics of lumbar and abdominal flexor and extensor muscle groups of the subjects. The differences in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were compared between 2 groups before and after training.Results:A total of 40 subjects were included with 20 cases in the test group and 20 cases in the control group, all of them were helicopter flying personnel. After training, the scores of VAS in both groups were lower than those before training ( t=22.01, 17.15, both P<0.001), and the VAS score of the test group was lower than that of the control group, with a significant difference ( t=6.55, P<0.001). After training, the ODI scores of subjects in both groups were lower than those before training ( t=32.05, 27.45, both P<0.001), and the score of the test group was lower than that of the control group, with a significant difference ( t=4.85, P<0.001). After training, the relative peak moment of lumbar and abdominal flexor and extensor muscle groups of the test group were higher than those of control group, and the differences were significant ( t=2.65, 2.41, 2.04, 3.31, P=0.026, 0.037, 0.047, 0.005). Conclusions:TRX core strength training can significantly improve the muscle strength of the lumbar and abdominal flexor and extensor muscle groups of flying personnel with NLBP, which can be used as a training program to prevent NLBP for flying personnel.
