Abstract
Abstract:

Introduction and purpose: Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders. Since it is difficult for people with back pain to bear weight, a treatment that can strengthen the muscles of the lumbar region while bearing weight without pain is of great interest. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to compare the effect of eight weeks of traditional resistance training and TRX on the performance of people with non-specific chronic back pain.

Research method: 45 football players aged 20 to 30 years with chronic back pain were purposefully selected and placed in 3 groups, TRX exercises, traditional exercises and a control group of 15 people each. Before and after the training period, performance variable was evaluated by square test, and trunk endurance was evaluated by Magill tests. Further, the subjects of the experimental groups performed their respective exercises for 8 weeks and 3 sessions of 45 minutes each week, while the control group went through the research process without specialized back pain exercises. For the inferential analysis of the data, the statistical method of variance analysis of repeated measures was used.

Findings: In the intra-group comparison, a significant effect on performance was observed in both traditional and TRX training groups, but no significant difference was observed in the control group. The findings showed that, in the intergroup comparison between the intervention groups compared to the control and between the two intervention groups, a significant difference was observed in the performance and endurance variables of the trunk muscles, so that the TRX training group had a greater effect and effect size than the traditional training. .

Conclusion: In general, the results of this research showed that the TRX training program has a significant effect on improving performance compared to traditional resistance training.
