• The control intervention uses progressive free-weight resistance training. — Strengthening and Targeted Rehabilitation for Optimal Neuromuscular Gains for chronic BACK pain (STRONG-BACK): protocol for a randomised controlled trial in participants with primary nociceptive pain drivers
• Free-weight training alternates between two session types. — Strengthening and Targeted Rehabilitation for Optimal Neuromuscular Gains for chronic BACK pain (STRONG-BACK): protocol for a randomised controlled trial in participants with primary nociceptive pain drivers
• Participants who cannot deadlift from the floor will use a raised bar at a height that permits a straight back. — Strengthening and Targeted Rehabilitation for Optimal Neuromuscular Gains for chronic BACK pain (STRONG-BACK): protocol for a randomised controlled trial in participants with primary nociceptive pain drivers
• Free-weight resistance training is described as commonly used for chronic low back pain and targets strength, quality, and endurance. — Strengthening and Targeted Rehabilitation for Optimal Neuromuscular Gains for chronic BACK pain (STRONG-BACK): protocol for a randomised controlled trial in participants with primary nociceptive pain drivers
• The programme replicates a previous 16-week protocol by Welch et al. — Strengthening and Targeted Rehabilitation for Optimal Neuromuscular Gains for chronic BACK pain (STRONG-BACK): protocol for a randomised controlled trial in participants with primary nociceptive pain drivers
• Participants will be filmed and coached because free weights require coordination and force control outside a fixed plane. — Strengthening and Targeted Rehabilitation for Optimal Neuromuscular Gains for chronic BACK pain (STRONG-BACK): protocol for a randomised controlled trial in participants with primary nociceptive pain drivers
