Kinesiotape and Core Exercises in Federated Boxers
Condition: Low Back Pain
MeSH terms: Back Pain; Low Back Pain
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Introduction. Nonspecific lumbar pain is a very common cause of sports decline in boxers,
      possibly due to the repetitive movements of flexion and rotation in their sport, so the
      investigators believe it is interesting to seek an intervention that helps these athletes to
      reduce their incidence.

      Aim. To improve non-specific low back pain, range of motion of trunk flexion; the muscular
      resistance of the spinal erectors and the subjective perception of the effort in federated
      boxers older than 18 years.

      Study design. Randomized, multicentric and double-blind clinical trial with follow-up period.

      Methods. 60 federated boxers of legal age will be recruited, who will be randomly assigned to
      the study groups: experimental (Core and Kinesiotape® exercises) and control (Core exercises
      and Kinesiotape® tubes without tension). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly
      sessions, lasting 35 minutes. Three evaluations will be carried out (pre-treatment,
      post-treatment and follow-up) for the dependent variables. The analysis of normality will be
      carried out with the Kolmogorov Smirnov test and in case of homogeneity of the sample, with
      the t-student test of related samples and the ANOVA of repeated means, the difference between
      the evaluations and the intra e effect will be calculated. intersubject, respectively.

      Expected results. It is expected to observe the effectiveness of the Core and Kinesiotape®
      exercises in the perception of nonspecific lumbar pain, the range of movement of trunk
      flexion and lumbar resistance, and the perception of effort.

Intervention description(s): The intervention through Core exercises will consist in the application of a protocol of four Core stabilization exercises. This protocol will consist of the following exercises: abdominal plate, bilateral plate, hunting dog and gluteal bridge. The intervention by Kinesiotape will be performed with the subject in a sitting position with both arms relaxed throughout the body, while the physiotherapist will place the bases of the strips without tension, on the sacroiliac joint. Once this is done, proceed to ask the subject to lean forward applying the rest of the strip, except the distal edge, with a tension of between 15 and 25%, finally requesting the subject to rejoin straining the distal base without tension, on the twelfth dorsal spinous process.; The intervention through Core exercises will consist in the application of a protocol of four Core stabilization exercises. The objective of the application of the technique based on this type of exercise is to improve muscle strength, endurance and neuromuscular control. This protocol will consist of the following exercises: abdominal plate, bilateral plate, hunting dog and gluteal bridge. The intervention by Kinesiotape will be performed with the subject in a sitting position with both arms relaxed throughout the body, while the physiotherapist will place the bases of the strips without tension, on the sacroiliac joint. Once this is done the tape will be placed without tension and sn movement of the subject.
