| Summary: | In this research, we started from the premise that for developing a strength building routine, adapted to patients with lumbar conditions, we can use innovative devices that combine elastic resistance with the resistance provided by weights. Such devices include a concentric barbell-extensor system and an extensor pulley bar. By using these devices, we demonstrated – on a sample of even healthy young people with a mean age of 22.5 – that three weeks of exercising on these devices, without significantly soliciting the spine, increase the strength more than the classical weight training. It is worth mentioning that the manner of performing the exercises and the muscle groups solicited in classical exercises versus when using innovative equipments were highly similar. |
