Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized controlled trial project to analyze the effectiveness of lumbar motor control exercises and lumbar resistance training on pain, functional, kinesiophobia and trunk strength in individual with chronic low back pain. The project has two parallel arms and will be supervised by physiotherapists (motor control exercises) and physical education professionals (resistance training). The participants will be Militaries of the Military Fire Department of the Federal District who presents in the recruitment regular low back pain more than 3 months. The two groups will be supervised in12 weeks of exercises in the Physical Activity Center of Military Fire Department of the Federal District. Our hypotheses is that the resistance training effects wil be superior to motor control exercises only for trunk strength (isokinetic flexion and extension).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Motor Control

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Motor control exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Motor control exercises for the deep trunk muscles in patients with chronic low back pain is based on evidence of motor control dysfunction, including delayed onset of activity in the transversus abdomens and internal oblique abdominal muscles and segmental hypertrophy of the lumbar multifidus muscle.

Resistance Training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Resistance training exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

A type of strength-building exercise program that requires the body muscle to exert a force against some form of resistance, such as weight, stretch bands, water, or immovable objects. Resistance exercise is a combination of static and dynamic contractions involving shortening and lengthening of skeletal muscles.
