Thanks to @jmmtonline for the opportunity ๐
Nearly there, 46 more responses would be great!!! ๐๐
Do you see patients with suspected CES?
We are looking for:
1. NHS clinicians, that
2. Work in a primary care setting in England, and
3. Assess or manage people with low back pain

@JaredPowell12@JaredPowell12 thanks for posting ๐๐ป
Can I ask why you favour resistance training? Personal preference? Based on supporting evidence? Thanks
@erikMeira@GregLehman Patients/clients often want fixing too, which probably drives therapists to try and take the role of the fixer somehow๐คทโโ๏ธ
Then when it โworksโ and a person gets better itโs a self-fulfilling prophecy
@GregLehman@mackinprof@BradSchoenfeld In other words...If I set up a trial comparing two weekly time-efficient resistance training programmes to treat shoulder pain that last 6 weeks - is that long enough to see an expected effect on strength??? Thanks
@GregLehman@mackinprof Thanks! I'm aware of Iverson and @BradSchoenfeld 's work on time-efficient training - do we know the minimal number of weeks we need to train prior to seeing significant gains in strength??
@jacksonfyfe Thanks for sharing. Do we have data on how many weeks training we need to perform before we see a significant improvement in strength? Thinking along the lines of minimal effective dose?? 1/week for ?weeks to see sig change??
@GregLehman@mackinprof Practical implication - could a trial get away with 1 session per muscle group per week for 6 weeks to see improvements in strength in that muscle group? Trying to think of ways to boost adherence. 2/week for 12 weeks seems unrealistic for general population in a clinical setting
@GregLehman@mackinprof Do we have data on frequency and duration of training to see significant gains in strength for untrained individuals?
Does 3 sessions/week for 12 weeks provide significantly more strength gains than 1 session/week for 6 weeks?
Does matching weekly volume matter for strength?
