A one-time Core Stability Intervention Protocol will be put into place to determine whether such an exercise regimen elicits changes in reducing anterior pelvic tilt, trunk flexion, hip internal rotation, hip adduction, and knee valgum during dynamic movement. Twenty physically active individuals will have their lower extremity kinematics measured while performing two trials of five repetitions of the Overhead Squat Assessment separated by the Core Stability Intervention Protocol. Five paired samples T-tests will be utilized to analyze any significant changes in pre and post Core Stability Intervention Protocol. Significant changes may have implications for clinical use of such a Core Stability intervention for patients with Lower Back Pain.
