Introduction. Over the past decade, the meanings of the functional state of trunk and lower extremities have been a widely discussed topic around the world. The aim is to find out how the neuromuscular control of trunk and lower extremities affect functionality, activity and biomechanics of the body of all people during physical activities (1). Properly selected physical exercises are an important aid in reducing the risk of injuries and have effect of motor control and movement to physically active individuals (2). Aim – to evaluate the effect of closed and open kinetic chains exercises for trunk and lower extremities functional state in physically active adults. Research methods and organization. In this study participated 30 – 45 years old physically active adults (by World Health Organisation standarts). The study was completed successfully by 35 adults (group of closed kinetic chain exercises (CKCE) – 6 men and 12 women and group of open kinetic chain exercises (OKCE) – 6 men and 11 women). Age median of CKCE group was 38 (30 – 42; 37.5) years. Age median of OKCE group was 36 (30 – 44; 36.17) years. Thus, both groups were homogeous by gender (p>0.05) and by age (p>0.05). The study was initiated and completed on 2019.12.01 – 2020.10.06 in “Eli physical therapy clinic”. The research was approved by the Lithuanian University of Health Science Bioethics Center. Selection criteria: engage in moderate – intensity for at least 150 minutes per week or 75 minutes of high – intensity physical activity; no clinically established lower limb and spinal pathologies; no clinically established cardiovascular system diseases and no antihypertensive drugs use. Static endurance of trunk muscles was evaluated by Mc’Gill tests; static endurance of lower extremities and trunk muscles and neuromuscular sensory response were evaluated by unilateral hip bridge test; functional movement of the body was evalu[...].
