Brief Summary

This study aims to examine the effects of an 8-week exercise program on male patients with lower crossed syndrome type A. Participants are randomly assigned to either an exercise group or a control group. The exercise group takes part in a supervised kettlebell-based exercise program three times per week for eight weeks, while the control group receives usual care without the exercise program. Measurements are taken before and after the intervention to compare changes between the two groups.

Keywords

Lower Crossed Syndrome; Exercise Intervention; Kettlebell Training; Postural Imbalance; Muscle Imbalance

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pelvic Tilt Angle

  Changes in pelvic tilt angle will be measured using the angle of the line connecting the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS) and the Posterior Superior Iliac Spine (PSIS) relative to the horizontal, comparing pre- and post-intervention values between the exercise intervention group and the control group. The primary objective is to evaluate whether the kettlebell exercise program reduces the anterior pelvic tilt angle in male patients with Type A Lower Crossed Syndrome.

Study Arms (2)

Exercise Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this group perform a structured, supervised kettlebell-based exercise program three times per week for a duration of eight weeks.

Other: Kettlebell Exercise Program

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in this group receive usual care and do not participate in the exercise intervention during the study period.

Interventions

Kettlebell Exercise Program OTHER

A structured, supervised kettlebell-based exercise program performed three times per week for eight weeks. Each session lasts approximately 40 minutes and includes warm-up, kettlebell exercises targeting core and lower limb muscles, and cool-down. The program is designed to improve muscle balance and postural control in male patients with Type A Lower Crossed Syndrome .

Also known as: Structured Kettlebell Training
