Neck resistance training significantly improved strength and reduced pain in middle-aged women workers. This 8-week program demonstrated notable gains in neck rotator, extensor, and flexor muscle torque.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Neck disorders are prevalent among workers, impacting quality of life and productivity.
  • Targeted interventions are needed to address strength deficits and pain in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of a specific neck resistance training program.
  • To assess the impact of training on neck muscle strength and perceived pain.

Main Methods:

  • 17 middle-aged women workers participated in an 8-week program.
  • Training involved 12-minute sessions, twice weekly, using hydraulic dampers for resisted neck rotation, flexion, and extension.
  • Resistance was individualized and progressively increased.

Main Results:

  • Significant increases in maximal isometric torque were observed: 35% for rotation, 27% for extension, and 19% for flexion (p < .05).
  • Perceived neck pain was significantly reduced following the training intervention (p < .05).

Conclusions:

  • A short-duration, twice-weekly neck resistance training program can effectively enhance neck muscle strength.
  • This training intervention is associated with a reduction in perceived neck pain among workers.
  • The findings support the implementation of targeted neck strengthening exercises in occupational health settings.
