Background:
The fire department and its agents are considered as the main element of the Safety and Relief System. If they lack physical abilities, firefighters will face injuries, leading to undesirable relief. The core stability training improves the accuracy of the deep sense receivers and increasing the sensitivity of the feedback pathways, creating greater integration in Lumbar-Pelvic-Thigh Region. So the goal of this research was to study the effect of a 6-week core stability training on in Tehran District one's firefighters suffering from nocturnal sleep disorders due to chronic low back pain.
Methodology:
The present study was considered as a semi-experimental intervention. The subjects include 15 male firefighters with at least 5 years of continuous active work in Tehran fire stations, their ages range 24-28 and their average weights approximately range 75/51 10/58, and they suffer from chronic low back pain with sleep disorders; and control group is another component of the subjects. VAS questionnaire was used for assessment of pain level and it was investigated and confirmed in terms of validity and reliability. Then the experimental group performed core stability training for six weeks, including three 45-minute sessions per week. Data were collected by Yoman-Whitney and T. Wilcoxon tests; and then they were analyzed by using SPSS 19 software.
Results:
After the intervention, a significant difference was seen in the experimental group (P <0.05); however, no significant difference was seen in control group (P > 0.05). Ultimately, the core stability training led to improvement of low back pain in three modes of activity, standing and sitting.
Conclusion:
The addition of core stability training to intra-shift functional-operational training exercises and physical fitness exercises alleviate chronic low back pain among firefighters.
