Brief Summary: The main physical condition factor related to back pain and mobility among adolescents are trunk endurance and hamstring extensibility The Pilates Method PM can be used as a specific exercise technique to train trunk endurance and hamstring extensibility but there is little evidence regarding its effect in adolescents with a history of back pain The objective of this study is to determine whether Pilates is effective for improving the trunk endurance and hamstring extensibility of adolescents with a history of back pain and to determine the differences between the sexes The sample was composed of 52 students with a mean age of 1444 07 years who had suffered back pain during the past year They were distributed into the Pilates Exercise Group PEG n 26 and the Control Group CG n 26 The Pilates programme was conducted over 6 weeks For measuring trunk flexion and extension endurance the bench trunk curl BTC test and the Sorensen SOR test were used respectively Hamstring extensibility was measured with the toe touch TT test After the Pilates intervention either the whole sample or males and females separately improved significantly p 005 in the BTC SOR or TT test
Detailed Description: Back pain during the adolescent years is a precursor to chronic back pain in adulthood The prevalence of back pain among schoolchildren is growing across the world and it is similar to that of the adult population Back pain is the first cause of disability in the world

The main physical condition factor related to back pain and mobility among adolescents are trunk endurance and hamstring extensibility The Pilates Method PM can be used as a specific exercise technique to train trunk endurance and hamstring extensibility but there is little evidence regarding its effect in adolescents with a history of back pain

The objectives of this study was a to analyse the effect of a Pilates programme on trunk endurance and extensibility in adolescents with a history of back pain and b to determine the differences between the sexes

The present research was a 6-week randomised controlled trial in which adolescents with a history of back pain were randomly assigned to a Pilates-based exercise group PEG n 26 and a control group CG n 26

The sample was composed of 52 students with a mean age of 1444 07 years who had suffered back pain during the past year They were distributed into the Pilates Exercise Group PEG n 26 and the Control Group CG n 26

The Pilates exercise programme was implemented over 6 weeks with 2 sessionsweek 55 minutessession Adolescents assigned to the CG did not receive any structured exercise programme they just attended their usual Physical Education sessions

The Pilates programme was conducted by the Physical Education teacher who was certified in Pilates training The Pilates programme began at the basic level incorporating more difficult principles and exercises gradually

For measuring trunk flexion and extension endurance the bench trunk curl BTC test and the Sorensen SOR test were used respectively Hamstring extensibility was measured with the toe touch TT test After the Pilates intervention either the whole sample or males and females separately improved significantly p 005 in the BTC SOR or TT test
