Brief Summary: My study aim to investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive corrective exercise program on kyphosis in recreational cyclists Additionally i want to investigate the post exercise effects on thoracic kyphosis angle pain levels and thoracic ranges of motion Our study on kyphosis in cyclists and what treatment plan could be best to minimize and treat the conditions which are affecting cyclist posture daily life quality this is very rare study as there are no studies which explains such parameters in these studies we will effectively describe comprehensive exercise plan to reduce kyphosis angle increase thoracic roms decrease pain levels and maintain good quality of life
Detailed Description: Sagittal plane deformity another name for excessive thoracic spine curvature is a postural condition marked by an unnatural increase in the thoracic kyphosis angle This angle typically falls between 20 and 40 but values of 45 to 50 or higher are thought to be suggestive of hyperkyphosis increased kyphosis or postural kyphosis Because of spinal misalignment excessive upper back curvature or hyperkyphosis can happen at any age

Athletes are becoming increasingly concerned about kyphosis an excessive forward curvature of the upper spine particularly those who play sports like cycling that require a forward-leaning posture Continuously hunching over the handlebars for extended periods when cycling can exacerbate this condition and result in discomfort pain and other problems Long-term cycling postures can increase the risk of developing kyphosis by causing muscle imbalances decreased spinal flexibility and altered biomechanics In addition to impairing athletic performance these problems can result in chronic musculoskeletal disorders if left untreated Sports medicine specialists and physiotherapists need to understand and treat kyphosis in cyclists top priority as cycling becomes more and more popular Sports requiring a forward-leaning stance like swimming cycling and some track events are more likely to cause kyphosis Because cycling involves postural demands that can result in muscle imbalances and adaptations that increase the risk of kyphosis cyclists are particularly vulnerable In this context the specific postural requirement of cycling includes forward leaning which is crucial for manageability and speed in relation to kyphosis this expresses a high degree of causality This is especially evident during the long training sessions and the continued forward-leaning position in long bike rides that puts a constant stress on the thoracic spine leading to muscle imbalances and hardness in the thoracic region

Corrective exercise can be defined as exercise that is designed to counter the effects of poor posture and can be effectively done by following the corrective exercise protocol that was created by the National Academy of Sports Medicine NASM and has been proven to reduce forward head posture and enhance cervical proprioception which in turn will enhance the general spinal stability Corrective exercise is needed in fixing postural and musculoskeletal problems It is a comprehensive process that involves using ones hands to assess muscles and joints especially for strength and weakness evaluating ones posture and movement and prescribing specific exercise regimens to help a client achieve the proper body positioning and function Corrective exercise training is an advanced method that incorporates ways to avoid overused muscles stretch short muscles recruit weak muscles and embed new movement patterns with the purpose of identifying movement dysfunctions Besides it is used in the rehabilitation conditioning and performance enhancement training for various impairments that may affect the body regions and flexibility strength neuromuscular coordination and balance Corrective exercise is an all-inclusive solution for individuals which addresses movement dysfunctions and assist in achieving the maximum physical capability and performance of an individual without causing injury
