Full description
Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial composed by Brazilian Air Force helicopter instructors. The volunteers will be submitted to an initial evaluation composed by painful sensation, analyzed through the Numerical Pain Scale, disability associated with low back pain, using the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, and back muscle fatigue, through the Ito test. The pilots will be randomly assigned to the Exercise Group (exercise program based on the Pilates method, twice a week for 12 weeks) and Control Group (no intervention). After the sixth and 12th week of the beginning of the intervention program a new evaluation will be carried out, identical to the initial one.
