“…Flexibility exercises play an important role in both the prevention and treatment of LBP [3,14]. Previously, a direct correlation between hamstring hyperactive strain and the severity of LBP has been reported [7].…”

“…Decreased exibility of muscles, poor posture, prolonged sitting, fatigue resulting in exertion, lumbosacral overload, and increased muscle ber tone lead to an imbalance in the lumbo-pelvic rhythm [1,2,3]. Four muscle groups support and keep the pelvis in its natural position, including the erector spine, hamstrings, gluteus maximus, abdominals, and hip exors [4,5].…”

“…Flexibility exercises play an important role in both the prevention and treatment of LBP [3,14]. One important option will be exercise protocol which will combine the active hamstring exibility exercises with hip exion mobilization and the development of the habit of correct hip exion technique, protecting the lower spine.…”

Introduction This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of a 12-week intervention involving active hamstring flexibility exercises with hip flexion mobilization on reducing low back pain (LBP) and perceived musculoskeletal discomfort during prolonged sitting in young adults. Methods Participants were recruited from Physical Education Faculty students and randomly assigned to either the experimental group (hamstring flexibility exercises) or the control group (no intervention). The primary outcome measures will be average pain intensity, functional disability, and perceived musculoskeletal discomfort during prolonged sitting. Secondary outcome measures will be satisfaction with the intervention and flexibility of the hamstring. Results A total of 44 participants will fulfill the inclusion criteria and will be completed the study. The results will demonstrate changes in average pain intensity, functional disability, perceived musculoskeletal discomfort during prolonged sitting, and the global perceived improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group. Additionally, in the experimental group, the level of satisfaction with the intervention and possible changes in the flexibility of the hamstring will be presented. Conclusions As an increase in LBP frequency is observed, it seems justified to research to determine the effect of feasible and effective interventions in addressing LBP and perceived musculoskeletal discomfort in young people. The findings of this study might provide information about a 12-week intervention involving active hamstring flexibility exercises with hip flexion mobilization on reduction of LBP and musculoskeletal discomfort during prolonged sitting in young adults. We hope this study will help to develop ergonomic recommendations for young people with LBP.
