Objectives
Narrative objectives1
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is prevalent problem among office workers. CLBP should be resolved because it causes work productivity loss, sick absence, and medical cost. Prolonged sitting is closely related to LBP among office workers. Although previous studies have tried to investigate the effectiveness of ergonomic intervention and back support, these are shown ineffective. Recent study showed that standing desk improved LBP. However, standing desk has some limitations such as application to workplaces in terms of spaces and cost. Thus, easy-to-use solutions are needed.
We focus on how office workers take a rest. We hypothesized that frequent standing and brief exercise during work could improve LBP and develop the Workplace Active Rest Program (WARP). WARP consists of frequent standing and brief exercise focused on LBP, which can decrease burden on lower back due to prolonged sitting and improve LBP.
The objective of the present study is to show the effectiveness of WARP on chronic low back pain among office workers.

Interventions/Control_1
1. Workplace active rest program composes of frequent rest and brief exercise (1-2 minutes) led by physical therapist at the seminar.
2. The seminar is held when the group will move from control phase to intervention phase.
3. The contents of seminar composes of cause of low back pain (LBP), sedentary and LBP, sedentary and health, orientation of intervention, development of exercise program.
4. Researchers who is specialized in LBP and sedentary hold a seminar and evaluate the condition of participants, prescribe a brief and effective office exercise.
5. Exercise focuses on spine and hip stretch and training which improve their mobility and stability (trunk extension exercise, stretching of Iliopsoas and hamstrings, abdominal oblique, erector spinae muscles, thoracolumbar fascia).
6. We disseminate leaflets of exercise.
7. Timing of active rest is start time of work, AM break, lunch break, PM break, finishing time of work. During these five timing, reminder music turns on, and then all workers (study participants as well as the rest of workers in the same office) take an active rest (stand up and exercise) under supervisors' instruction.
8. Researchers visit the office once in a week to check if any problems happen or not.
