New exercise approach shows promise for Runners' back pain

This study tested a type of exercise called Coordinated Locomotor Training in 28 novice runners with mechanical low back pain. The training focuses on coordinating arm and leg movements while activating core muscles. Researchers compared it to plyometric training to see which better improves lumbopelvic stability and reduces pain. The goal is to find a more effective way to help runners manage back pain and return to running with less discomfort.
