This pilot randomized controlled trial, originally conducted as part of a doctoral dissertation, used a small convenience sample. The 12-week BASE program comprised progressive stages emphasizing body awareness, core stability, and functional enhancement. Outcomes included body composition, physical fitness (strength, balance, mobility, and flexibility), pain and disability (VAS and ODI), and biomarkers (hs-CRP and VEGF).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The BASE program improved skeletal muscle mass and appendicular skeletal muscle index (both p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), handgrip strength (p\u2009=\u2009.002, .012), mobility (timed up-and-go: p\u2009=\u2009.001; 4-meter walk: p\u2009=\u2009.001), and flexibility (sit-and-reach: p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Pain (VAS, p\u2009=\u2009.007) and disability (ODI, p\u2009=\u2009.037) decreased significantly. hs-CRP declined (p\u2009=\u2009.024), while VEGF increased (p\u2009=\u2009.011).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The BASE program was associated with improved physical function and reduced pain in rural women aged \u226575 years with CLBP.
