Disposición sagital del raquis y extensibilidad isquiosural en mujeres postmenopáusicas activas y sedentarias. (Spinal shapes in sagittal plane and hamstring flexibility in active and sedentary post-menopausal women)

Thoracic and lumbar curves were assessed with an ISOMED Unilevel inclinometer in different positions (standing, sitting and toe touching). Hamstring flexibility was evaluated using the straight leg raise test. Seventy-nine postmenopausal women that attended fitness classes (ACT) and 45 sedentary women (SED) were evaluated. Kyphosis thoracic in standing was 46.51 + 10.19 (SED) and 44.15 + 10.69 (ACT) (p>0.05). Lordosis in standing was 37.00 + 8.36 (SED) and 37.36 + 9.00 (ACT) (p>0.05). Kyphosis thoracic in forward bending was 57.76 + 12.13 (SED) and 56.21+11.80 (ACT) (p>0.05). Kyphosis lumbar in forward bending was 13.47 + 12.84 (SED) and 15.94 + 13.42 (ACT) (p>0.05). Kyphosis thoracic in sitting was 46.62 + 11.20 (SED) and 44.54 + 12.93 (ACT) (p>0.05). Kyphosis lumbar in sitting was -4.00 + 12.00 (SED) and -2.88 + 11.50 (ACT) (p>0.05). The average flexion of the left hip was 80.64 + 16.30 (SED) and 83.96 + 13.90 (ACT) (p>0.05), and the average flexion of the right hip was 79.67 + 13.69 (SED) and 82.10 + 14.73 (ACT) (p>0.05)
