Summary
This study tested whether a four-week resistance exercise program using the 45-degree Roman chair could reduce pain and improve back muscle function in 22 adults with chronic low back pain. Participants performed back extension exercises to exhaustion, and researchers measured pain sensitivity, muscle thickness, strength, and endurance. The goal was to see if this type of exercise could help manage long-term back pain.

What this could lead to
