We have already reported on the effect of a standing-up exercise on forward bending in the long sitting position in elderly subjects. Each subject performed forward bending before and after carrying out the standing-up exercise. The results indicated that forward bending in the long sitting position measured after the standing-up exercise improved significantly (p<0.001). We hypothesized that contraction of muscles surrounding the hip joints and knee joints during the standing-up exercise performed as a light load exercise had some inhibitory effects on the hamstring muscles and the muscles of the upper back and the lumbar regions. We also tested the influence of the standing-up exercise in normal adult subjects so as to verify the findings in the clinical situation. However, we failed to obtain significant effect in the normal adult subjects when the test was carried out under the same load conditions as used for the elderly subjects, although the test results showed similar tendencies to those observed in the elderly subjects. In this study, we tested the effect of a single-leg half squat exercise in normal adult subjects to determine the loading dose of the warm-up exercise required for facilitating forward bending in the long sitting position. In a control group, subjects sat at ease for 3 minutes before the forward bending test, and in a squat group, subjects performed single-leg half squatting before the test. Forward bending in the long sitting position improved significantly in the squat group compared with the control group. These results suggest that the order of training items should be considered when instructing the elderly and normal adults in health exercises and low back pain prevention exercises.
