PURPOSE : This study is to investigate the effect of 4 weeks of gym ball exercise on the pelvis and spine of women in 20s.
METHODS : Randomly selected 10 of 20 subjects are allocated to experimental group who will practice gym-ball exercise while the rest 10 subjects are allocated to control group. Values for pelvic obliquity DL-DR, pelvic torsion DL-DR, pelvic rotation, kyphotic angle ICT-ITL (max), and lordotic angle ITL-ILS (max) were measured through recording using 3-dimensional image analyzer as a preliminary inspection. Gym-ball exercise was implemented 3 sessions a week for 4 weeks. Each session consisted of 10 minutes of warm up exercise, 30 minutes of main exercise, and 10 minutes of cool down exercise totaling 50 minutes. Post inspections were measured after exercise.
RESULTS : Experimental group showed statistically significant difference in pelvic obliquity DL-DR, pelvic torsion DL-DR, and kyphotic angle ICT-ITL (max) (p<.05) and values of pelvic obliquity DL-DR showed statistically significant difference between two groups (p<.05). However pelvic rotation, lordotic angle ITL-ILS (max) did not show a significant difference.
CONCLUSION : These results showed that gym-ball exercise has positive effect in the pelvic obliquity, torsion and spine kyphotic angle and expected to have positive effect on the body balance, body lineup, and coordination.
