Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Reducing lumbar lordosis angle. Timepoint: The tests related to the research will be conducted one week before the start of the exercises as a pre-test and one week after the end of the exercises (after 2 months) as a post-test. Method of measurement: Lumbar lordosis angle is done using a flexible ruler.;Range of motion of the spine. Timepoint: The tests related to the research are conducted one week before the start of the exercises as a pre-test and one week after the end of the exercises (after 2 months) as a post-test. Method of measurement: The range of motion of the spine is performed using the twice modified Schuber test.;Hip range of motion. Timepoint: The tests related to the research are conducted one week before the start of the exercises as a pre-test and one week after the end of the exercises (after 2 months) as a post-test. Method of measurement: The range of motion of hip flexion and extension is performed using a goniometer.;The electrical activity of the gluteus maximus muscle, biceps femoris and erector spinae in hip hyperextension movement. Timepoint: The tests related to the research are conducted one week before the start of the exercises as a pre-test and one week after the end of the exercises (after 2 months) as a post-test. Method of measurement: The electrical activity of gluteus maximus muscle, biceps femoris and erector spinae in thigh hyperextension movement is performed by electromyography device synchronized with motion analysis device.	—
