“…As a result, the patient's sense of pain is blocked (Burke et al, 2001); and it allows the patient to strengthen the postural muscles; therefore, given the effectiveness of the exercises applied in the present research, as well as considering that the therapies should be effective and have no side effects, it is suggested that patients with chronic nonsteroidal back pain who suffer from reduced endurance of the postural extensor muscles use a waterbased training program to strengthen these muscles. Along with the results of this study, other studies have shown that water therapy improves pain and disability in patients with chronic back pain (Maul, Läubli, Oliveri, & Krueger, 2005).On the other hand, reduction of abdominal obesity, which is essential for lower back pain, was mentioned in this study, which is in line with the results of Giannopoulos et al, Slentz and colleagues (Giannopoulou et al, 2005;Slentz et al, 2004). Also, improvement in balance and walking speed is consistent with the results of the studies conducted by Dundar et al (2009), Genobu et al (2007, Bijet (2009), and Suzuki et (Md et al, 2002), it can be adjusted in the elderly (Rogers, Rogers, Takeshima, & Islam, 2003).Conducting sports exercises compensates for age-related functional changes, and maintains independence in aging for a longer period of time.…”

Background and Objective: Body composition changes such as high body fat percentage, muscle weakening and resulting physical problems such as low back pain and weakness in balance and reduced walking speed are among the problems faced by the elderly. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of water-based aerobic training on the dynamic balance and walking speed of obese elderly men withlow back pain. Materials and Methods: This research was a semi-experimentalstudy with pre-test and post-test design. The subjects were 36 elderly aged persons (62.3±2.6 kg; 163.1±2.1 cm)with low back pain, body fat percentage higher than 35%, waist-hip ratio of over 95% and visceral fat above 100 cm2. In this way, using a systematic non-random sampling technique, the samples were divided into experimental and control groups randomly (each group included 18 subjects).While the control group continued their daily routines,the experimental group performed aerobic exercises for 4 months and three sessions of 60 minutes. All body composition variables were measured using the body composition analysis, walking speed by walking speed test of 10m, and the ability to maintain balance by time up and go test before and after the trainings. Independent and paired t-tests were used to analyze the data via SPSS software at the significant level of P < 0.050. Results: It was suggested that experimental group had a significant decrease in the test time of 10 m walking speed (p = 0.001), time up and go test (p = 0.001), as well as in obesity variables (p = 0.001) and back pain (p = 0.001) after four months; however, no significant reduction was observed in any of the test times and variables of obesity and low back pain in the control group. Conclusion: aerobic exercise seemsto improve walking speed, maintain balance and also reduce obesity and low back pain in obese elderly people and can be used in conjunction with other training programs. However, this research has its own limits and further research is needed.

“…effect as reported by the authors of each study. As noted, most of the studies 19,20,24,25,27,28,31,32,[34][35][36] presented the results as means and standard deviations for the variables related to pain. In one of the studies 23 , the authors reported the median values for the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at baseline and the decrease in this value in the pos-test, with a confidence interval between the first and the third quartile.…”

Objectives: To review the effectiveness of Physical Activity (PA) interventions in the workplace to reduce musculoskeletal pain in employees.Methods: Four databases (PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Cochrane) were searched for trials among employees for the period of January 1990 and March 2013, which included comparison groups that assessed physical activity programs, musculoskeletal pain. We examined articles with comparison groups that assessed Physical Activity programs and musculoskeletal pain. Results:We can see in the several studies a significant evidence of pain decrease in intervention groups in studies of general pain and in neck and shoulder pain. The few studies covering low back pain and arms, elbows, wrists, hands or fingers pain do not present sufficient statistical significant evidence. Conclusion:There is consistent evidence that workplace PA interventions significantly reduce general musculoskeletal pain and neck and shoulders pain. More studies are required to provide clarification of the effectiveness of work related PA interventions in musculoskeletal disorders and related pain. leave, costs and prevention of new episodes of pain and physical discomfort and consequently MSDs [17][18][19]. It appears that there are advantages in adopting active lifestyles, both at individual and professional/employment [20].Generally, health promotion programs are having some success in reducing employee health risks, but changing human lifestyles is really an arduous assignment [14,21].PA intervention programs may have a positive impact both in the perspective of the employee and in the perspective of the employer. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse the effects these programs may have in real workplace settings. Several studies have been developed focusing on workplace interventions based on different health promotion strategies. PA interventions in workplaces may have specific objectives for individuals (Sjögren, 2006) and employers, namely:• For the individual -improve functionality, physical endurance, muscle strength, joint mobility and self-image, reduce localized pain, depression and social isolation, correct poor posture, increase bone density, self-esteem, maintain autonomy, relieve stress.• For the employer -increase productivity, improve the institutional image, and reduce turnover, absenteeism and medical costs [18].In this context, the aim of this study was to examine whether PA intervention in workplace reduce musculoskeletal pain in employees compared with employed without intervention program by the revision of randomized controlled systematically review the effectiveness of PA interventions (Tables 1 and 2).
