Abstract

In this pre-planned secondary analysis of a randomised control trial of a run-walk program, our data suggest running speed, volume and surface, as well as more multi-level IVD degeneration, may be associated with more favourable 12-week IVD T2 changes. Findings are hypothesis-generating and may inform future trials designed to optimise IVD health.
