    According to the WHO, one in four adults and four out of five adolescents do not engage in physical activity. Therefore, the current role of health professionals, as experts in health issues, goes beyond clinical care, expanding their area of competence into education and health promotion. This activity is carried out both specifically through educational intervention programs and in parallel with their clinical activities. Lack of physical activity and sedentary lifestyles are common causes of the most significant musculoskeletal problems in public health, with low back pain being the most prevalent as a result of an imbalance in lumbar spine stability. This refers to the loss of the spine's ability to maintain vertebral conditions in such a way that no damage or irritation to the spinal cord or nerve roots occurs, or pain that causes disability or leads to structural changes. Moreover, at least one episode of back pain is experienced by 70% to 85% of the population at some point in their lives, restricting daily activities and interpersonal relationships, leaving a lasting negative impact on emotional well-being. Objectives: To determine the relationship between sedentary behavior, pain intensity, and lumbar instability in clinical laboratory and pathological anatomy medical technologists. Materials and Methods: This study follows a hypothetical-deductive method with a quantitative approach, applied non-experimental design, cross-sectional cut, and correlational scope. Sedentary behavior will be measured using the Pérez-Rojas-García test, pain intensity will be assessed with the Visual Analog Scale, and lumbar instability will be evaluated with the passive lumbar extension test.
