Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change from baseline pain perception after treatment and at month: VAS

  Pain perception measurement will be measured with the visual analogue scale, which is represented by a line from 0 mm to 100 mm indicating at the ends the states of 'no pain '(0) and' as much pain as it can bear' (10) . The EVA scale is measured as the distance between the line of 'no pain 'and that marked by the subject. A change greater than 13 mm between the two would be considered clinically relevant

  Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Change from baseline pain perception at the pressure after treatment and at month: pressure algometer

  Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit

• Change from baseline perception of effort after treatment and at month

  Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit

• Change from baseline trunk flexion after treatment and at month

  Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit

• Change from baseline trunk flexion after treatment and at month

  Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit

• Change from baseline resistance of the lumbar extensor musculature after treatment and at month

  Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit

Study Arms (2)

Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL

Each session will be held in a group and will last 35 minutes, taking place 2 sessions a week, in a period of 4 weeks. The intervention will be carried out at the end of the training session and after drying the sweat of the area to be treated. After the training, the Core and Kinesiotape exercises with tension and stretching will be performed

Other: Experimental

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Each session will be held in a group and will last 35 minutes, taking place 2 sessions a week, in a period of 4 weeks. The intervention will be carried out at the end of the training session and after drying the sweat of the area to be treated. After the training, the Core and Kinesiotape exercises technique will be performed without tension or stretching

Other: Control

Interventions

Experimental OTHER

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.

Experimental

Control OTHER

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.
