Introduction
My research focuses on the role of high-intensity training (HIT) and structured exercise interventions in managing chronic pain conditions, particularly chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) and chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). I investigate how targeted exercise programs can enhance clinical outcomes such as pain reduction, physical function, and overall quality of life while also exploring physiological adaptations like improvements in heart rate variability (HRV).

Background
Occupational drivers are exposed to a wide range of risk factors, including sedentary behavior and physical inactivity, which can contribute to various chronic diseases. However, exercise interventions are likely to alleviate the negative associations and reduce chronic disease risks. This systematic review aimed to inventorize research...
Background/Objectives: High-intensity training (HIT) has been shown to enhance physical fitness and reduce functional impairments in persons with moderately disabling chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). However, sustaining these improvements post-rehabilitation remains a challenge. To address this, a home-based, technology-supported HIT pro...
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common chronic musculoskeletal disorders worldwide. Guidelines recommend exercise therapy (ET) in CLBP management, but more research is needed to investigate specific ET modalities and their underlying mechanisms. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the short-term and long-term effectiveness...
