Overview
Brief Summary
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).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Nonspecific chronic low back pain (defined as pain and discomfort) localized below the costal margin and above the inferior gluteal folds, with or without referred leg pain of at least 3 months' duration.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Spinal pathology (eg, tumor, infection, fracture, inflammatory disease), pregnancy, nerve root compromise, previous spinal surgery, major surgery scheduled during treatment or follow-up period, and presence of any contraindication to exercise.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
Time Frame: One day
In a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), patients are asked to circle the number between 0 and 10, 0 and 20 or 0 and 100 that fits best to their pain intensity. Zero usually represents 'no pain at all' whereas the upper limit represents 'the worst pain ever possible'.
Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ)
Time Frame: One day
Questionnaires to measure and monitor changes in functional outcome in patients with LBP. The RDQ evaluates 24 activity limitations due to LBP, while the ODI consists of 10 items assessing the level of pain interference with physical activities.
Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK)
Time Frame: One day
Measures the excessive, irrational, and debilitating fear of movement and activity resulting from a feeling of vulnerability to painful injury or re-injury. Its a 17-item scale.
Secondary Outcomes
- Trunk Muscle strength(One day)
