Combined Effects of Dead Bug Exercise and Double Straight Leg Raises Versus Conventional Physical Therapy Exercise on Core Stability and Waist Circumference in Healthy Young Individuals
Sponsor: University of Health Sciences Lahore
Summary
Increased sedantry lifestyle has caused a decrese in core stability. Moreover alongwith sedantry lifestyle unhealthy eating habits have also increased causing an increase in abdominal adiposity and waist circumference. The objective of conducting this research is to determine the combined effects of Dead Bug Exercise and Double Straight Leg Raises versus Conventional Physical Therapy Exercise on Core Stability and Waist Circumference in Healthy Young Individuals. The study design will be an assessor blinded parallel group Randomized Controlled Trial. This study is expected to serve the society by providing public an efficient exercise combination that has the capability to increase core stability and decrease waist circumference alongwith a promising component of safety.

Combination of Dead Bug Exercise and Double Straight Leg Raises
Dead Bug Exercise is a low intensity exercise that targets rectus abdominis, rectus oblique, erector spinae and multifidus. While Double Straight Leg Raises is a high intensity exercise that targets lower rectus abdominis and internal oblique. In this way a combination of these 2 exercises target entire abdominal musculature with greater emphasis on lower abs where accumulation of fat is greatest. Thus these two exercises complement each other in producing effect on core stability and waist circumference.
Abdominal stretches
Abdominal stretches increase flexibility of abdominal musculature, improve posture and decrease core tension thereby producing overall improvement in general fitness of abdominal musculature.
