Summary

Although it is known that chronic low back pain (CLBP) have a multifactorial etiology, the investigations about it are mostly specific to each investigation area, making difficult to understand this complex condition. The purpose of the study was to investigate CLBP from a multidisciplinary approach, analyzing biomechanical, morphological and inflammatory parameters aiming to compare the influence of two strength training protocols, one of low intensity and low volume (LIT) and one of high intensity and high volume (HIT). In both experiments, pain intensity and level of functional disability were analyzed (by analogue scale of pain and Oswestry Index), Ground Reaction Forces (GRF - AMTI BP600900 - 2000 force plate), kinematics of lower limbs (Inertial Sensors by Noraxon) and electromyography of the rectus abdominis, external oblique, lumbar multifidus, medial gluteus, vastus lateralis and biceps femoris muscles (TelemyoDTS) during gait and sit-to-stand, inflammatory cytokines by Multiplex in blood samples and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the lumbar multifidus by ultrasound imaging.
