Protocol summary
Study aim
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of supervised-based versus workplace-based exercises on neck-shoulder pain, workability, alignment, and muscle activity among office workers with upper crossed syndrome.
Design
A quasi-experimental; randomized controlled clinical trial including 45 samples assigned randomly to two groups: supervised exercises; workplace exercises, and a control group.
Settings and conduct
The participants with upper crossed syndrome in two groups supervised exercises and workplace exercises performing 50 minutes of intervention 3 sessions per week for eight weeks; the control group receives no intervention. Baseline assessments will be organized at the physical education laboratory at the University of Shahid Beheshti in Tehran- Iran which, will be repeated after eight weeks of intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: office workers in Tehran between the age of 25 to 50 years being at work for more than five years and 30 hours per week with postural alteration including the forward head equal to or more than 45°; round shoulder equal to or more than 52°; and round back equal to or more than 42° as well as neck and shoulder pain intensity equal to or more than three as per visual analog scale. Exclusion criteria: body mass index (BMI) equal to or more than 25 or equal to or less than 18; being pregnant; having a previous upper-body injury or not being able to take exercises due to any medical conditions.
Intervention groups
Intervention 1: workplace exercises: 50-minute exercise, 3 days per week with 3 repetitions, holding for10 seconds for 8 weeks.
Intervention 2: supervised exercises: 50-minute exercise, three days per week with three repetitions, holding for10 seconds for 8 weeks.
3: control group: receive no intervention.

Randomized
Randomization description
The website https://www.sealedenvelope.com will be applied to randomize and generate a random block sequence, and sealed opaque envelopes will be used to conceal random allocation. Based on the sample size, a number of envelopes with aluminum wrappers are used in order to obscure the contents of the envelopes. Each of the random sequences is written on a card, and the cards are placed in the envelopes respectively. In order to maintain a random sequence, the envelopes are numbered on the outer surface as well. The envelopes are glued and placed inside a box, respectively. The participants open one of the envelopes, then the assigned group of that participant is revealed.

Intervention group 1( work-placed exercises): An eight-week exercise program including corrective exercises based on alignment and effective muscle activation on upper crossed syndrome will be taken three days per week about 50 minutes each session which will be started by five to seven minutes of warm-up and cool-down. The exercises will be initiated by three repetitions holding for 10 seconds, and progress to six repetitions, holding for 25 seconds based on the overload principles and the individual capabilities. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of exercises in the workplace that will be performed without the direct supervision of the researcher as the first intervention group.

Intervention group2( supervised exercises): An eight-week exercise program including corrective exercises based on alignment and effective muscle activation on upper crossed syndrome will be taken three days per week about 50 minutes each session which will be started by five to seven minutes of warm-up and cool-down. The exercises will be initiated by three repetitions holding for 10 seconds, and progress to six repetitions, holding for 25 seconds based on the overload principles and the individual capabilities. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of supervised exercises as the second intervention group that will be performed under direct supervision.
