Abstract

Considering the increasing increase of back pain in the society due to reasons such as changing postures contrary to ergonomic principles in static and dynamic conditions in daily activities, the important role of exercise and other treatment methods can be attributed to the improvement of back pain. The present research was conducted as a semi-experimental study with experimental and control groups. The statistical population included middle-aged women aged 45 to 60 with chronic back pain in Tabriz. The participants were randomly selected and divided into three homogeneous groups of 10 people. Evaluation criteria before and after the intervention were respectively using McGill, Petersburg, Schneider and S36 questionnaires. The intervention groups received the desired protocol for eight weeks and three sessions. The control group did not receive any activity or intervention during this period. After applying the desired protocol, the evaluations were measured again. In order to check the research hypotheses, repeated analysis of variance test was used at a significance level of 0.05. The results of the present study showed that in the considered protocols on the variables of life expectancy (0.001), quality of life (pain scale had a significant effect only in exercises, 0.0001), sleep quality (0.0001) (scale of sleep duration It had a significant effect on exercises (0.0001) and the results were obtained. Williams exercises had significant results on pain quality (0.0001). According to the obtained results, movement science experts are recommended to use corrective exercises as a method with high credibility in sports rehabilitation protocols to promote general health along with other educational programs.
