Deskripsi
A total of 136 male and female adults, members of local gyms, were initially invited for participation in the study after giving their written consent. After a second contact with the participants, forms regarding the inclusion and exclusion criteria were sent for completion.
Of the 136 that initially answered positively for participation, 62 did not meet the inclusion criteria, based on their reports and the clinical examination by a health professional. Of the remaining 74 participants, 32 were excluded because of previous low back pain incidents and other recent musculoskeletal injuries that led to rehabilitation, while 22 decided to not participate for personal reasons.
The remaining 20 participants were randomly allocated to either training group or intervention group, by a neutral, blinded investigator who had no involvement and was unaware of the study purposes. The intervention group will be trained and supervised by a certified fitness instructor in a gym class, who will be responsible for the correct execution of the exercises. The duration of the intervention will be 5 weeks, 3 times a week.

| Experimental: Training group The first part of the program aims in pelvic and hip mobility and includes the following exercises, glute bridge, single-leg glute bridge, side-lying clam, side plank and side plank with hip abduction, on stable surface.
The second part consists of exercises for deep and superficial trunk muscles. In the first exercise the participants learn to activate the transversus abdominis muscle from the crook-lying position, by performing abdominal hollow. Other exercises include the front plank, trunk curl-up, trunk curl-up on stable surface and curl-up on unstable surface (Swiss ball).
The third part of the program consists of exercises for strengthening the lumbar multifidus muscle. The participants will perform prone trunk extension, superman exercise, quadruped diagonal arm and leg lift, single leg supine bridge and supine bridge on unstable surface (Swiss ball). | Other: Training group The exercise protocol consists of the following sets and repetitions, with a total duration of 5 weeks and a frequency of 3 sessions per week.
Dynamic exercises: 2 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions (each side) Isometric exercises: 2 sets of 5 to 15 seconds (each side) Week 1- As mentioned above Week 2- Add 1 set Week 3 - Add 5 seconds and 5 repetitions Week 4 - Add 1 set Week 5- Add 5 seconds and 5 repetitions |
| No Intervention: Control group The participants of this group will follow their typical daily routine |
