Summary

This RCT evaluates a 12-week NASM OPT program targeting gluteal muscle strength, hip aesthetics (shape, lift, circumference), and low back pain in 120 non-athletic women. The intervention group performed structured resistance training, while the control group engaged in general exercise. Outcomes included gluteal strength (dynamometer), aesthetic satisfaction (Likert scale), and functional performance (squat test).
