Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate shorts effects of two common
stabilization exercises the Abdominal Hollowing (AH) and the Abdominal Bracing
(AB) on abdominal and back muscle recruitment and behavior of lumbar curvature
in static standing tasks. Materials and Methods: In this crossover randomized clinical trial study (RCTs), 30 male (mean
age 27/7) with NS-CLBP by convenience sampling were randomlly allocated to 3
equal size groups (2 interventions and one control group). Before and
immediately after stabilization training (AH and AB), lumbar curvature and
surface EMG activity from abdominal and back muscle was simultaneously
recorded, in functional task that contain static standing with and without
axial loading (12kg weight). Results: In static standing without axial loading, high EMG
activity of local muscle was observed in the AH group and a significant
reduction in erector spine (ES) and rectus abdominis (RA) activity in the AB
groups. Meanwhile, in regards with axial loading, a reduction of TrA/IO in the
AH groups and aslo ES with RA in the AB groups was seen (P
