ABSTRACT
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la bibliografía científica actual para conocer diferentes tipos de ejercicios que influyen en la distancia interrectos, para incluirlos posteriormente en el tratamiento de la diástasis de los rectos abdominales. Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos CINHAL, PEDRo, Pubmed y Scopus. Se incluyeron en el análisis 14 artículos válidos, los cuales se dividieron en 2 grupos diferenciando los que analizaban ejercicios que presentaban un efecto inmediato y los que presentaban un programa de ejercicios con un efecto diferido (a largo plazo); siendo curl-up el ejercicio más utilizado. Existe disparidad en cuanto a los efectos de los distintos tipos de ejercicios evaluados sobre la distancia interrectos, sin embargo se ha observado que el curl-up produce una disminución de la distancia interrectos cuando se comprueba de forma inmediata y que la ejercitación de la musculatura abdominal a través de un programa de ejercicios favorece la reducción de la distancia interrectos sin poder establecer qué tipos de ejercicios son los más adecuados para componer los programas de ejercicio
The aim of this study was to analyse the scientific literature to identify the different types of exercises that influence inter-rectus distance with a view to subsequently including them in the treatment of diastasis rectus abdominis. A search made in the CINHAL, PEDRo, Pubmed, and Scopus databases. Fourteen valid articles were included in the analysis. The articles were divided into 2 groups: those analysing exercise with an immediate effect and those presenting an exercise programme with a delayed effect (long term); the most commonly used exercise was the curl-up. There is a lack of consensus on the effects of the different types of exercises evaluated on inter-rectus distance. However, curl ups decrease inter-rectus distance when it is checked immediately. Abdominal muscle training through an exercise programme helps to reduce inter-rectus distance but the optimal exercises to include in an exercise programme remain to be elucidated
