Brief summary
This study aims to examine the effects of an 8-week exercise program on male patients with lower crossed syndrome type A. Participants are randomly assigned to either an exercise group or a control group. The exercise group takes part in a supervised kettlebell-based exercise program three times per week for eight weeks, while the control group receives usual care without the exercise program. Measurements are taken before and after the intervention to compare changes between the two groups.
Detailed description
This randomized controlled study investigates the effects of an exercise intervention on male patients with lower crossed syndrome type A. Participants who meet the eligibility criteria are randomly assigned to either an exercise intervention group or a control group. The intervention group performs a structured kettlebell-based exercise program three times per week for a duration of eight weeks, while the control group receives usual care without participation in the exercise program. Outcome measures are collected at baseline and after completion of the intervention period to evaluate changes associated with the exercise program.
Interventions
OTHERKettlebell Exercise Program
A structured, supervised kettlebell-based exercise program performed three times per week for eight weeks. Each session lasts approximately 40 minutes and includes warm-up, kettlebell exercises targeting core and lower limb muscles, and cool-down. The program is designed to improve muscle balance and postural control in male patients with Type A Lower Crossed Syndrome .

|---|---|---|
| Pelvic Tilt Angle | Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention | Changes in pelvic tilt angle will be measured using the angle of the line connecting the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS) and the Posterior Superior Iliac Spine (PSIS) relative to the horizontal, comparing pre- and post-intervention values between the exercise intervention group and the control group. The primary objective is to evaluate whether the kettlebell exercise program reduces the anterior pelvic tilt angle in male patients with Type A Lower Crossed Syndrome. |
