Description
Milad Hassani and Seyed Hossein Hosseinimehr compare two exercise programs for athletes with lower crossed syndrome, a posture problem where weak and tight muscles tilt the pelvis and arch the lower back. Their trial came out in 2026. Thirty-six young male athletes were split into three groups.
One group did core stability exercises, one followed a national sports medicine academy's corrective program, and one served as control. Both programs ran three sessions a week for eight weeks. Both reduced the back arch and pelvic tilt and improved front and back trunk endurance equally. The academy program alone also strengthened the side trunk muscles on both sides. The authors recommend either program, with the academy version favored when side strength matters.
