结局指标
主要结局
Change from Abdominal Caliper at 8 weeks
时间窗: Baseline and after 8 Weeks
A nylon digital caliper (ISS carbon digital caliper, 0-75 / 0.01 mm) will be used to measure the inter-recti distance. The subject is positioned in a crook lying position on a portable floor mat without a pillow under her head, knees flexed to 90 degrees and hands relaxed on her thigh. Before the measurement the investigator marks the reference points with a tape measure and a removable pen on the abdominal wall: at the superior border of the umbilicus; 5 cm and 10 cm above the umbilicus; 2.5 cm and 5 cm below the umbilicus. Then while the subject was exhaling, she is instructed to lift her head and shoulders up, slide her hands towards her knees, until the inferior angle of scapulae are just off the mat. She maintains the curl-up for three seconds while the measurement was taken. Meanwhile the instructor palpated the medial borders of the rectus abdominis muscle, put the caliper to the measurement point and measured the inter-rectum diastasis (IRD).
次要结局
- Change from The Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire at 8 weeks(Baseline and after 8 Weeks of training)
- Change from Waist circumference at 8 weeks(Baseline and after 8 Weeks of training)
- Change from Abdominal strength and endurance test one minute sit-up test at 8 weeks(Baseline and after 8 Weeks of training)
