Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine and evaluate the effect of eight weeks of exercises. It was based on prayer movements on the amount of pain and endurance of trunk flexor and extensor muscles in patients with non-specific chronic back pain. Methods: The present semi-experimental study was conducted in 2019. the research population included all patients with non-specific chronic back pain referred to Shahid Muftah Clinic No. 1 in Yasuj, Iran. Sixty-six eligible patients were selected by non-probability sampling method and were divided into two groups based on random block allocation: test (33 people) and control (33 people). Two participants from the intervention group refused to participate in the study during the implementation of the intervention.

The collected data were analyzed using t-paired, Man-Whitney, independent t, Wilcoxon, chi-score and Shapiro-Wilk statistical tests. Results: At the starting point of the study, there was no significant difference between the groups under study in terms of the amount of pain and endurance of the trunk muscles, except for the endurance of the extensor muscles (p<0.05). After the completion of the research intervention, a significant decrease in the amount of pain and a significant increase in the endurance of the trunk muscles were observed (p<0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, increasing the level of endurance of flexor muscles, trunk extensors and relieving pain and improving the level of performance in patients with non-specific chronic back pain, it can be said that exercises based on prayer movements had an effect on the level of pain and endurance of trunk muscles in patients.
