Summary

Purpose Exercise-related gastrointestinal complaints are frequently reported in young athletes; however, evidence regarding the effects of resistance-based training modalities on bowel habits is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an 8-week TRX program on bowel habits and gastrointestinal system of male child swimmers.

Methods Thirty-two prepubertal male swimmers aged 9-13 years were voluntarily enrolled in the study. Participants were randomly allocated to either the TRX or control group. Both groups were evaluated using the Bristol Stool Scale and a questionnaire assessing defecation habits before and after the 8-week TRX exercise program.

Conditions

  • TRX Exercise
  • Bowel Habits
  • Gastrointestinal Symptoms

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise

In this model, a specific intervention is applied to the experimental group (TRX and swimming). Measurements are conducted before and after the intervention (pre-test / post-test). In the study, the TRX group performed TRX exercises in addition to their regular swimming training for 8 weeks, three days per week, for 45-60 minutes per session.

OTHER

Randomized Controlled Trial

The control group participated only in their regular swimming training program for 8 weeks. No additional intervention, such as another exercise program, was applied to the control group during the stady.
