Summary

Musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, particularly in the upper limb and spine, are often linked to poor core stability and muscular imbalance. While progressive resistance training is a well-established approach to improve muscular strength, incorporating core stability exercises may provide additional benefits in terms of balance, posture, and neuromuscular control. However, limited studies have examined the combined effects of resistance and core stability training on upper limb strength, core endurance, pain reduction, and balance performance.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Progressive Resistance Training + Core Stability Exercises

Participants in Group A will engage in a combined program focusing on upper limb strengthening and trunk stabilization. The core stability component aims to improve neuromuscular control and trunk endurance, while the resistance training targets upper limb muscle strength and shoulder stability. Core Stability Exercises: Exercise Description Duration/Repetitions Planks Holding a straight-body position on elbows and toes. 30-60 seconds Bird-Dog Extending one arm and opposite leg, maintaining neutral spine. 5-10 sec/rep, 10-12 reps per side Dead Bug Supine position, extending opposite arm and leg. 3-5 sec/rep, 12-15 reps Bridging Lifting hips off ground, maintaining spinal alignment. 10-15 sec/rep, 12-15 reps Swiss Ball Stability Balance in sitting or leg lift positions using a Swiss ball. 20-30 sec/position, 10-12 reps Progression in core exercises will occur by increasing repetitions, duration, or complexity based on individual capability.
