Randomized trial comparing the effects of one set vs two sets of resistance exercises for outpatients with XXXX and @entity158 .

@entity1 @entity1643 @entity615 @entity158 @entity717
AIM: Progressive resistance exercises (PRE) are prescribed to reverse the deconditioning associated with @entity615 . The spine rehabilitation program has utilized 2 sets of progressive resistance exercises during each session, with increased resistance between sets, and with successive sessions. Exercise literature has challenged the need for multiple sets of resistance exercises, with a single set producing similar functional benefits. The authors studied whether completing 1 versus 2 sets of resistance exercises would affect strength, @entity158 and disability outcomes in subjects with @entity1643 ( @entity1643 ). METHODS: The study randomly assigned subjects with @entity1643 to perform either 1 set or 2 sets of progressive resistance exercises during otherwise identical spine rehabilitation programs. The @entity1 sample included 100 subjects (36 male @entity1 , 64 female @entity1 , mean age 46 years) with @entity615 referred to spine rehabilitation. Primary outcomes were back strength and progressive isoinertial lifting evaluation (PILE) at discharge. Secondary outcomes were @entity717 (0-100) and @entity158 scores (0-10). Exercises consisted of @entity615 , rotary torso, pull downs, and multi-hip; lifting of crates from floor-to-waist (lumbar) and waist-to-shoulder (cervical) heights. The maximum levels of exercises were determined using a four repetition to maximum protocol, and the PILE. RESULTS: At discharge, there was no significant difference in strength, disability or @entity158 measures between subjects completing 1 versus 2 sets of resistance exercises. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that there were no added benefits for completing a second set of resistance exercises during therapy sessions for @entity1 with @entity1643 .
