The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a combined exercise program on back strength and flexibility among working-age women of the Educational Administrators in Kasetsart University. The samples were 30 volunteers for among working age women of Office of Educational Administration Kasetsart University which is derived from volunteer selection, performed a 6-week combined exercise program that composes body weight training and stretching three days per week of 30-50 minutes. Measurements were taken at before and after 6 weeks with the test of back strength, lower back flexibility and back extension. Statistical analysis included mean, standard deviation and paired sample t-test.
Over a 6-week combined exercise program study, participants significantly improved of back strength (p<0.05, pre: 0.58±0.23; post: 0.66±0.25), lower back flexibility (p<0.05, pre: 4.90±10.87; post: 8.30±10.46,) and trunk flexibility (p < 0.05, pre: 33.82±7.40; post: 38.07±6.55). This study demonstrated a 6-week combined exercise program represents an effective strategy for improving muscle strength and flexibility of working-age women of the Educational Administrators in Kasetsart University.
