Brief Summary

In this study the feasibility is investigated of a 16-week supervised heavy resistance training program with weekly undulating periodization for individuals with persistent non-specific low-back pain.

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Keywords

Exercise therapy; Resistance training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Low back pain intensity on 0-10 Numerical Pain Rating Scale

  From questionnaire: current pain, pain the last two weeks and pain the last four weeks, scale from 0-10 were 0 equals no pain and 10 equals the worst pain imaginable

  8 weeks

• Low back pain intensity on 0-10 Numerical Pain Rating Scale

  From questionnaire: current pain, pain the last two weeks and pain the last four weeks, scale from 0-10 were 0 equals no pain and 10 equals the worst pain imaginable

  16 weeks
