Evaluating the Effects of Xuong Tan Lac Than Exercise on Joint Mobility and Muscle Endurance in Healthy Adults

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effects of the traditional Vietnamese Xuong tan lac than exercise on joint range of motion and muscle endurance in healthy adults. This study aims to determine if practicing this exercise improves movement and muscle endurance around multiple joints including the cervical spine, lumbar spine, shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles. The study focuses on healthy volunteers and explores how this traditional exercise may support musculoskeletal function. Participants will be trained to correctly perform the Xuong tan lac than exercise, which involves a series of breathing and controlled lateral trunk movements while standing in a semi-squat position. They will practice the exercise once daily, five days a week, for 12 weeks, following a standardized protocol. Assessments will be conducted at the start and after 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks to track changes. Throughout the study, participants will undergo measurements of joint range of motion using the Noraxon MyoMotion system with inertial measurement sensors, as well as tests of muscle endurance. Researchers will assess nerve conduction parameters at the beginning and end of the study. These evaluations aim to capture improvements in joint mobility and muscle function over the 12-week exercise program. The study involves regular monitoring and adherence to the exercise schedule under research supervision.
