Background: This study examined the effects of myofascial release exercise using an inflatable compression therapy ball on spinal flexibility in adults to present basic data to improve spinal flexibility.
Methods: One hundred and twenty university students were recruited from G city G university and H university. The participants were assigned randomly to two groups: the myofascial release exercise group (MRE, n=60) and the stretching exercise group(SE, n=60). The MRE group performed myofascial release exercise for the erector spinae muscles using an inflatable compression therapy ball. The SE group performed stretching exercises of the erector spinae muscles. Each exercises was performed in 3 sets of 10 repetitions daily for one week. Spinal flexibility was assessed by performing the trunk flexion test before and after the intervention.
Results: The collected data was analyzed using SPSS win 21.0, and the analysis results were as follows. The within-group comparison revealed a statistically significant difference between the pre- and post-intervention measurements in only MRE group(p<.05). On the other hand, the between-group comparison revealed the MRE group to show statistically significant improvement in spinal flexibility(p<.05). In effect size, the MRE group was -1.82 (95% CI = -2.24~-1.39), and the SE group was -0.7 (95% CI = -1.15~-0.41).
Conclusion: Myofascial release exercise for the erector spinae muscles using an inflatable compression therapy ball was more effective in improving spinal flexibility than stretching exercises for the erector spinae muscles. However, although myofascial release exercise using inflatable compression therapy ball is more effective than stretching exercise, it is insignificant, and research is also insignificant. It is believed that more diverse studies using props will be needed in the future.
