This video shows you how to perform an isometric back extension protocol which measures the endurance of the trunk extensor muscles. Lower back pain is extremely common in adults, and good isometric trunk endurance has been shown to reduce or prevent this pain.
These CSEP guidelines are under constant revision - If you notice any mistakes or out-of-date information, please let me know in the comments so I can update the video accordingly.
