Objectives Running is one of the most accessible forms exercise, yet its suitability for adults with chronic low back pain (LBP) unknown. This study assessed efficacy and acceptability running in LBP. Methods two-arm parallel (1:1) individually randomised controlled trial allocated 40 participants (mean (SD) age: 33 (6) years, female: 50%) non-specific LBP to a 12-week intervention or waitlist control. The was progressive run–walk interval programme comprising three 30-min sessions per week...
Poor intervertebral disc (IVD) health is associated with low back pain (LBP). This 12-week parallel randomised controlled trial will evaluate the efficacy of a progressive interval running programme on IVD and other clinical outcomes in adults chronic LBP. Participants be to either digitally delivered or waitlist control. receive three individually tailored 30 min community-based sessions per week over 12 weeks. The control undergo no formal intervention. All participants assessed at...
INTRODUCTION & AIMS Running is common and one of the most accessible forms exercise training, yet suitability for adults with chronic low back pain unknown. This study assessed efficacy feasibility running in (LBP) explored relationship between training parameters intensity. METHODS two-arm parallel (1:1) individually randomised controlled trial allocated 40 participants (mean [SD] age: 33 [6] years, female: 50%) non-specific LBP to a 12-week intervention or waitlist control.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Low back pain is the leading cause of global disability, with lumbar disc pathologies estimated to contribute up 40% cases. Exercise training an established treatment reduce intensity and disability in individuals low pain; however, effect exercise on intervertebral discs unknown. Cross-sectional studies have shown that endurance running (>50km per week) associated healthier discs, as evidenced by greater T2-relaxation (hydration) height. However, no explored...
