"The VR therapeutic exercise program will be implemented for 6 weeks at a frequency of 2 sessions per week with the aim of improving pain and disability, kinesiophobia, range of motion (ROM), catastrophizing, quality of life, and physical fitness. This group will perform the 8 VR exercises of Back School by manipulating visual proprioceptive information during all lumbar movements. They will be performed in 2 sets whose intensity and repetitions will be configured and individualized by a self-reported rating of perceived exertion (RPE) through the Borg 6-20 scale. The appropriate training intensity is established with an RPE score between 13 and 17; for this reason, the first 2 weeks will work at an RPE of 14, the 3rd and 4th weeks at an RPE of 15; and finally, the last 2 weeks will work at an RPE of 16. The first 3 weeks will work without additional load, and the last 3 weeks will work with weights, increasing their weekly load individually."
