Summary

This study tested a special exercise program called Coordinated Locomotor Training in 28 novice runners with mechanical low back pain. The program focuses on improving how the arms and legs move together while activating core muscles. Researchers compared it to standard plyometric training over 8 weeks to see if it could improve pelvic stability and reduce pain. The goal is to find a better way to help runners manage and ease their back pain.
