Comparison of High-Intensity Interval Training With Moderate-Intensity Connuous Training In Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain Patients: Randomized Clinical Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the HIIT with MICT in chronic non-specific low back pain patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- The broad aim of the study is to compare HIIT with MICT in pain reduction in chronic non-specific low back pain patients.
- The purpose of this research is to compare HIIT with MICT on disability and quality of life among chronic non-specific low back pain patients.
- It also attempts to investigate the relationship between the baseline attributes and outcome variables.
Researcher will compare the HIIT to MICT to see the effects on CNSLBP
Participants will be:
- Allocated to HIIT or MICT group for 6 weeks.
- Assessed pre and post intervention.
- Continuously monitored during treatment sessions.

Experimentell: High-Intensity Interval Training
A total of 40 participants will be enrolled in this group.
Sessions will be conducted 3 times a week, each session lasting for 25 minutes.
The duration breakdown is as follows: 3 minutes of warm-up, 6 bouts of HIIT (1 min of HIIT at 85-90% of HRmax, 2 min of recovery at 74-80% of HRmax), and 4 min of cool down.
The intensity will be monitored using HR and the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion.
The mode of exercise will involve brisk walk and jog.
At the end of each session, participants will perform 5-10 minutes stretching exercises targeting major muscle groups.

Aktiv komparator: Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training
A total of 40 participants will be enrolled in this group.
Sessions will be conducted 5 times a week, each session lasting for 46 minutes.
The duration breakdown is as follows: 3 minutes of warm-up, 40 min of HIIT (at 60-70% of HRmax), and 3 min of cool down.
The intensity will be monitored using HR and Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion.
The mode of exercise will involve normal walk.
At the end of each session, participants will perform 5-10 minutes stretching exercises targeting major muscle groups.
