  • The study aims to analyze the relationship between CS, and lifting and aerobic capacities in patients with CLBP, and to describe pain response to strenuous exercise in patients with CLBP. CS, lifting and aerobic capacity were correspondingly measured with the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), standardized floor-to-waist lifting test, and maximal Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET). Pain response to CPET was measured with Pain Response Questionnaire (PRQ). Statistical analyses included: 1) stepwise-forward multiple regression for lifting and aerobic capacity (dependent), CSI (independent), and physical, work-and disability-related characteristics (covariates); 2) paired t-test of pain response before CPET pain to immediately and 24h after, and correlation of the changes with CSI. Forty three patients were measured. Higher CSI score was associated with lower lifting and aerobic capacity performance after controlling for confounders. Immediate pain response slightly decreased in the low back in response to strenuous exercise whereas it significantly increased in the upper legs. The 24-hour pain response revealed no significant differences. CSI score was found to be negatively associated with low back immediate pain response change.
