Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Abdominal isometric endurance
Isometric endurance of trunk flexors will be used to determine endurance strength of abdominal muscles. Patients will be laid supine, maintaining hips and knees bent at 90 degrees, feet flat approximately 30 inches from the buttocks and arms extended with hands on knees without actually touching. Patients will be instructed to separate the trunk from the stretcher to the inferior angle of the scapula and maintain this position as long as possible. Time (in seconds) will be measured until a maximum of 90 seconds

core stability
EXPERIMENTALStabilized muscle program will consist of two months of individual physical training that it will be conducted 3 times/week for 90 min each. A correct progression to improve stabilization of deep abdominal muscles will be made.
