Test-retest reliability of three dynamic tests obtained from active females using the neurocom balance master
Article Abstract:
The intertester and intratester reliability of the Neurocom Balance Master (NBM) forward lunge (FL), step up and over (SUO), step quick turn (SQT) tests on a young, healthy, female population is determined using repeated measures design. Inter and intratester reliability for the FL and SQT ranged from good to excellent while reliability for the SUO ranged from fair to excellent. The three NBM tests are found to be reliable in healthy, young, physically active females.

Does a program of Pilates improve chronic non-specific low back pain?
Article Abstract:
The effect of a program of modified Pilates for active individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain is evaluated by employing a single blind randomized controlled trial. Improvements were observed in the Pilates group post-intervention period with increases in general health, sports functioning, flexibility, proprioception, and a decrease in pain and the control group showed no significant differences in the same measures post-intervention.
