简要总结
The objective of the research is to compare two programs of exercises in postpartum woman, one based in abdominal strengthening exercises and the other based in abdominal hypopresive exercise.
详细描述
Diastasis recti abdominisis the separation of the two rectus abdominis muscles along the linea alba with a consequent separation of fibres and widening of the same. The linea alba has different functions which include supporting the proximal anterior recti, guaranteeing the stability of the vertebral column, pelvis and the pelvic floor, and intervening in the function of the abdominal muscles since it serves as their anterior anchorage.
The crunch abdominal exercise (classic abdominal) is the most studied exercise used to test the behaviour of the linea alba, and in most cases, a decrease in the inter-rectus distance is observed when compared to the resting stage. In the oder hand, Abdominal hypopresives exercises were designed for women in the postpartum period but the effects over the abdominal muscles is unknown and the authors are unaware of any study that evaluates the effect of a hypopressive exercise program on the interrectus distance.
The objective of the research is to compare two programs of exercises in postpartum woman, one based in abdominal strengthening exercises and the other based in abdominal hypopresive exercise.

研究组 & 干预措施
Classic abdominal exercises Group

干预措施: Hypopressive abdominal exercises program (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Interrectus distance measure
时间窗: After the intervention
he participants will be placed in supine decubitus with the knees flexed to 90º with the feet resting on the stretcher and the arms along the body. After receiving the instructions to perform an abdominal crunch, subjects are asked to lift their heads and lift shoulders until the scapula lifts off the table. The ultrasound images will be recorded with an ultrasound scanner (GE Logic and; 4 12MHz, 39mm linear transducer; mode B), in a position of supine rest and a position of muscle activation (isometric contraction), 2 cm and 5 cm above the navel. Centimeters are the unit of this measurement.
