Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of core strengthening on trunk endurance after core strengthening with resistive versus non-resistive diaphragmatic training in lower cross syndrome.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of core strengthening on trunk endurance after core strengthening with resistive versus non-resistive diaphragmatic training in lower cross syndrome. Core stability of young adults (age: 19-30 years) will be determined using McGill's muscular endurance test battery: 1. Flexor endurance test 2. Extensor endurance test 3. Right lateral endurance test 4. Left lateral endurance test Scores will be taken three times for each test; the average of each text will be noted for each participant. Data collection procedure: Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research. Informed written consent will be taken. Recruited participants will be allocated to either of the groups through a sealed opaque envelope method. McGill's Torso Muscular Endurance Test Battery will be used and baseline and post-intervention scores will be recorded.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Right lateral endurance test
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The participants will assume a side-lying position with their legs fully extended and feet aligned on top of each other. Their lower arm will be positioned under their body while the upper arm rests at their side. Upon readiness, they will be instructed to transition into a full side-bridge position, ensuring that both legs remain extended and the sides of the feet are in contact with the floor. Timing will commence as they successfully maintain this position. The test will conclude if there is any noticeable change in the alignment of the participant's trunk. This test will be conducted twice with a 2-minute rest between intervals. The average duration of the two tests will be recorded on the participant's record sheet. The test will then
Left lateral endurance test
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The participants will assume a side-lying position with their legs fully extended and feet aligned on top of each other. Upon readiness, they will be instructed to transition into a full side-bridge position, ensuring that both legs remain extended and the sides of the feet are in contact with the floor. Timing will commence as they successfully maintain this position. The test will conclude if there is any noticeable change in the alignment of the participant's trunk. This test will be conducted twice with a 2-minute rest between intervals. The average duration of the two tests will be recorded on the participant's record sheet. The test will then
Change in trunk flexor endurance test
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Subject will sit on the test bench and place the upper body against a support with an angle of 60 ° from the test bed. The arms will be folded across the chest with the hands placed on the opposite shoulder. Subjects will be instructed to maintain the body position while the supporting wedge will be pulled back 10 cm to begin the test. The test will end when the upper body fell below the 60 ° angle.
Change in trunk extensor endurance test
Time Frame: 6 weeks
Subjects will be laid prone with the lower body fixed to the test bed at the ankles, knees, and hips and the upper body extended. Subjects will rest their upper bodies on the floor before the exertion. At the beginning of the exertion, the upper limbs will be held across the chest with the hands resting on the opposite shoulders, and the upper body will be lifted off the floor until the upper torso is horizontal to the floor. Subjects will be instructed to maintain the horizontal position as long as possible.
