| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the effectsof an 8-week whole body vibration and stretching exercise on low back pain among law enforcement corps in Ibadan Oyo State, Nigeria. Ninety law enforcement corps were divided into three groups of two experimental and one control group. The experimental groups' went through 8-week whole body vibration and stretching exercise, while the control group were placed on 8-week Fitness talk. Data was analyzed using both Descriptive andAnalysis of Co variance.The study revealed that there was significant main effect oftreatment ofWhole body vibration, 2 stretching exercise and control on low back pain(F = 74.405, p<0.05, ç =0.634), also, there was (4,87) 2 significant main effect of whole body vibration on low back pain(F = 45.409, p<0.05, ? =0.514). (2,86) 2 Also, there was significant main effect of stretching exercise on low back pain (F(2,86) = 6.601, p>0.05, ç = 0.133), however, there was no significant main effect of treatment and gender on low back pain(F(2,83) 2 = 0.011, p<0.05, ç = 0.00). Finally, there was a significant main effect of treatment, gender and age on 2 low back pain(F = 6.723, p<0.05, ç = 0.170). It was concluded that whole body vibration was more (6,84) effective than stretching exercise on low back pain. The researcher recommends that Federal, state government and stakeholder should support and fund law enforcement corps due to the nature of their work regular provision of kits, also, training and re-training on stretching exercises and whole body vibration on ameliorating the effect of low back pain. | |
