Effects of Treadmill Running Between Novices and Experienced Runners on Total Range of Lumbar Flexion and Lumbar Extension

This research was an experimental study. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of treadmill running to total range of lumbar flexion and lumbar extension between novices and experienced runners. Ten novices and ten experienced healthy male runners, aged between 20 and 39 years. Each subject was measured their spinal range of motion in total lumbar flexion and total lumbar extension using an inclinometer, before and after a period of intervention. Each subject was asked to run on the treadmill for 30 minutes. The findings showed that range of motion in total lumbar flexion was significantly increased after performing the treadmill running in both groups (P < 0.001, P = 0.03), however there was no * iA“∫—≥±‘μ A≈—° Ÿμ√«‘∑¬“»“ μ√iA“∫—≥±‘μ “¢“«‘TM“°“¬?“ae∫”∫—¥ §≥–‡∑§π‘§°“√·ae∑¬a iA“«‘∑¬“≈—¬¢Oπ·°aπ ** √Os»“ μ√“®“√¬a °≈yai«‘®—¬a«¥A≈—s a«¥§O ·≈–a«¥¢âOO◊EπE §≥–‡∑§π‘§°“√·ae∑¬a iA“«‘∑¬“≈—¬¢Oπ·°aπ *** oŸâTMa«¬»“ μ√“®“√¬a °≈yai«‘®—¬a«¥A≈—s a«¥§O ·≈–a«¥¢âOO◊EπE §≥–‡∑§π‘§°“√·ae∑¬a iA“«‘∑¬“≈—¬¢Oπ·°aπ 42 «“√ “√«‘®—¬ i¢.
