Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in the pain index and stress response through posterior strengthening exercise to subjects who are experiencing back pain due to a negative sedentary lifestyle, and to present a basis for explaining the optimal local exercise. Therefore, we recruited men aged 20 to 39 years who have worked for more than 3 years in the sedentary occupational group and are currently experiencing back pain. Through screening, 20 people who recorded a score of 4 or more on the NRS scale of the pain index test and 40 IU/L or more on the ɑ-amylase stress test were selected, and 10 people from the Back Exercise Group (BEG) who performed posterior exercises and an ECG that controlled exercise activities (Exercise Control Group) was divided into 10 people and conducted for 8 weeks. Research Results 1. The posterior strengthening exercise is effective in reducing the pain index of patients with low back pain. 2. The posterior strengthening exercise is effective in reducing the stress response of patients with low back pain. 3. There is a significant positive correlation between the pain index NRS and the stress response ɑ-amylase.
