Multicomponent Exercise and Postural Hygiene
Sponsor: Catholic University of Murcia
Summary
This non-randomized clinical study aims to evaluate whether a multicomponent physical exercise program with integrated postural hygiene can improve functional capacity, postural risk, musculoskeletal symptoms, health-related quality of life, and body composition in adult and older women. Eighty participants are allocated to three groups: an experimental group performing exercise with integrated postural hygiene, a reference group with previous postural hygiene training performing the same intervention, and a control group performing the same exercise program without the postural hygiene component. Participants are assessed before, during, and after the intervention, as well as at follow-up. The broader research project also includes a separate cross-sectional observational component designed to describe postural habits, musculoskeletal symptoms, and functional health-related variables in women enrolled in a community-based Maintenance Gymnastics program.

Conditions
Interventions
Multicomponent physical exercise with integrated postural hygiene
Structured multicomponent physical exercise program including strength, balance, mobility, and postural control exercises, with integrated postural hygiene strategies during exercise execution and activities of daily living. Sessions will be conducted in the usual practice context, following a previously established common protocol and with implementation control by program instructors. This intervention will be assigned to the two arms with integrated postural hygiene.
Multicomponent physical exercise without postural control
Structured multicomponent physical exercise program including strength, balance, and mobility exercises, delivered without the specific postural control component. Sessions will be conducted in the usual practice context, following a previously established common protocol and with implementation control by program instructors. This intervention will be assigned to the active comparator arm without postural control.
