Effect of two suspension training programs on pain and musculoskeletal function in chronic low back pain: study protocol.

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of two suspension training (ST) protocols on pain and musculoskeletal function in women with chronic low back pain (CLBP). The study will be randomized, controlled, blinded clinical trial. Women aged 18-60 years who present CLBP will be selected. They will be randomized into three groups: STG1, which will carry out the program with difficulty progression in the exercises; STG2, in which the progression will be made by increasing the number of sets; and control group. STG1 and STG2 will perform the training two-times a week for 60 min for 12 weeks. It is expected that ST will effectively reduce pain and improve functionality in CLBP and that the best protocol will be verified. Clinical Trial Registration: RBR-10rv3fqt.
