Periodized Resistance and Aerobic Training in Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain

Egypt38 participantsStarted 2023-12-25

Plain-language summary

The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of two forms of periodized exercise training programs (resistance and aerobic ) using the best recommended parameters (volume, intensity, rest period, and frequency) on the best available outcome measures (pain, disability, fear of movement, back and abdominal muscular endurance, upper body strength (latissimus dorsi muscle),and lower body strength ( gluteus maximus )

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female participants with nonspecific (nonspecific pathology) chronic (\> 12 weeks) low back pain (localized below the costal margin and above the gluteal fold) (Owen et al., 2020). * Participants aged between 18 to 45 years (Wewege et al., 2018). * Participants with Body Mass Index (BMI) 18.5-29.9 Kg/m2. * VAS score 3-8 cm (Pieler-Bruha, 2009). * ODI score 10-60 (Pieler-Bruha, 2009). Exclusion Criteria: * Participants will be excluded if they did not meet the inclusion criteria mentioned above such as pain due to or associated with: * Pregnancy * Infection * Fracture * Tumor * Structural deformity (e.g. scoliosis) * Radicular syndrome or cauda equine syndrome * Inflammatory disorders (Owen et al., 2020)
