A Clinical Trial to Study the Effect of 5 Week Core Strengthening Protocol on Shoulder Strength in Young Obese Individuals
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
It is already known that the core plays an important role in the kinetic chain, since it is the centre of all functional movements. Previous researches have proved that isometric shoulder exercises elicit greatest level of activation of trunk musculature. But there are no studies stating that, core strengthening can have an effect on shoulder strength in young obese individuals. Hence, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 5 week core strengthening protocol on shoulder strength and core in young obese individuals. Twenty four young obese individuals having BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and waist circumference ≥ 94 cm for men and ≥ 80 cm for women participated in a 5 week core strengthening protocol. Outcome measures were a Hand held Dynamometer to evaluate the shoulder strength and a pressure biofeedback unit for core strength. The 5 week core strengthening protocol had a significant improvement in dominant and non-dominant shoulder strength for all six shoulder movements (p<0.001) and core strength (p<0.001). It was concluded that five week core strengthening protocol has a significant impact on bilateral shoulder strength in young obese individuals
