Lagree Methodology is a new multimodal exercise approach that is rapidly gaining popularity, and it claims to improve areas such as muscular endurance, balance, functional movements. However, no research has prospectively examined these effects. The purpose of this case series study was to determine the effectiveness of a 6-week Lagree methodology program on functional performance and balance in healthy adults. We hypothesize that muscular endurance, functional movements, and dynamic balance will increase post intervention. Eight healthy adults (6F, 26 ± 10 years, 71.6 ± 22.1 kg, 163 ± 12 cm) completed the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test, Prone Bridge test, and Half Sit-up test pre- and post-intervention. This 6-week Lagree program involved progressive resistance training performed on a machine with a platform lift. Changes in test scores were assessed using paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-ranks test. The total FMS score significantly increased by approximately 41% from pre-to post-intervention (pre: 11.25 ± 3.66, post: 15.88 ± 2.59, p=0.002). Composite scores of the Y-Balance test on their left leg significantly increased by 7% post-intervention (pre: 92.79 ± 8.27, post: 99.27 ± 10.54, p=0.035). The composite scores on the right leg increased by 4% but these differences were not significant (pre: 94.07 ± 8.48, post: 97.93 ± 10.86, p=0.140). Prone Bridge and Half Sit-up tests were not significant. A 6-week Lagree intervention was effective in producing significant and substantial improvements in the total FMS score and active straight leg raise performance. These findings suggest that the Lagree Methodology may offer functional movement benefits in healthy adults.
