Core Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The Core Group carried out core stability exercises. Their training consisted of the following exercises: bridge, Klapp, front plank and lateral plank

Other: Core training

Abdominal Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The Abdominal Group performed traditional exercises: trunk flexion or abdominal crunch, trunk extensions, lower abdominals with hip lifts and crunch with crossed legs

Other: Core training

Interventions

Core training OTHER

A total of 12 sessions were carried out, which lasted for 4 weeks, with a frequency of 3 sessions/ week. The duration of each session was 11 minutes 30 seconds. The working time of each exercise was 30 seconds with a 5 seconds rest between exercises, meaning that each exercise cycle lasted for 2.50 seconds. Three exercise cycles were performed with a 90 seconds rest between each one of them
