Abstract: Background: The rising use of smartphones has contributed to Upper Crossed Syndrome (UCS) among working-age individuals, impacting their work and daily life. Balancing muscle function through exercise has proven effective, yet the pandemic and environmental challenges have prompted necessary adaptations in exercise routines. Objective: To develop and compare the effects of an integrated online elastic exercises program (IOEEP) on UCS in the working-age population. Methods: Developed an IOEEP, blending local exercises with online sessions over six weeks (IOC=0.98). Then, try-out of the IOEEP in 43 working-age people with the UPS, averaging 28.70±6.79 years old. They were divided into an experimental group (21 people) undergoing the six-week program, and a control group (22 people) who received regular health advice. Neck Disability Index (NDI), CV angle (CVA), and pectoralis minor length (PML) were evaluated at baseline, after the 4th and 6th weeks. Results were analyzed using One-way MANOVA, with significance set at p<0.05. Results: The results showed that NDI, CVA, and PML significantly differed between groups (p<0.05). The experimental group had an NDI and CVA better than the control group after the 4th and 6th weeks, and the PML was significantly better than the control group after the 6th week. When analyzing the differences within groups, the NDI in the experimental group was significantly improved after the 4th and 6th weeks, and the CVA was significantly improved after the 6th week (p<0.05). Conclusion: A six-week IOEEP could reduce UCS in the working-age population.
