The Effect of a Rehabilitation Program Accompanied by Karo-Proketic to Rehabilitate the Injury of Minor Rupture of The Rectus Muscles in The Lumbar Region for Sitting Volleyball Players

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine whether or not a cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program is effective in treating rectus muscle injuries in the lumbar region among volleyball players who have a tendency to sit for extended periods of time due to their sport. Pre- and post-tests were administered to the same group of volunteers who participated in this research. The study was an experiment. An experimental approach was used in the design of the investigation. At the sports competition that took place in 2024-2025, the individuals who took part in this research were members of the disabled sitting volleyball team that participated for the Anbar governorate. This analysis was carried out with the help of the SPSS software. According to the findings, the player's ability to bend forward and backward was significantly improved as a consequence of the rehabilitation exercises that were carried out. In the lumbar region, those people who had partial rips in the rectus muscle improved greatly from this practice. As a result of this, the researchers came up with the recommendation that these exercises should be maintained in order to either prevent new injuries from occurring or to improve ailments that were already existing.
