To determine the exercise plan, a search and systematic review of scientific articles was carried out in different databases, which included PubMed, Medline, PEDro, Science Direct, and Scielo, using keywords, where more than 50 articles were obtained, of which Only 20 were selected that supported the proposal. Subsequently, they were evaluated before and after the intervention, with the numerical pain scale (NRS), to measure the intensity of pain; and the Oswestry scale to identify the level of disability associated with low back pain, the data obtained were tabulated and statistically analyzed using the IBM SPSS V22 program. The results obtained after the intervention reflected significant differences in the intensity of pain (0.000), and the level of associated disability (0.000); Concluding that core strengthening exercises are effective in reducing low back pain in pregnant women.
