Effects of the active break intervention on nonspecific low back pain among young people: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Every end-range position maintained for a prolonged time causes a static load on the spine and may lead to musculoskeletal discomfort. Prolonged flexed sitting is a strong predictor of low back pain (LBP). The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Active Break program, implemented among young people, in reducing perceived low back pain and discomfort, as well as associated disability level resulting from prolonged sitting.

Methods

A randomized controlled trial was conducted among young people with non-specific LBP. Participants were randomized into groups: an experimental group participating in the tested Active Break intervention (AB-group, n = 25), and a control group (C-group, n = 25) with self-administered care recommendations. The program took 12
