Relationship between Physical Activity and Back Extensor Muscles’ Endurance to The Risk of Low-Back Pain in School-Aged Adolescents

AMAÇ: Fiziksel aktivite (FA) ve bel ağrısı riski olarak alt ekstensör kas dayanıklılığı (AEKD) ilişkisi hakkındaki çalışmalar adölesanlarda yetersizdir. Bu çalışmada FA ve bel ağrısı riski olarak AEKD ilişkisi incelendi. YÖNTEM: On-ondokuz yaş aralığında 625 ortaokul öğrencisi çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü oldu ve modiviye Biering-Sİrensen statik kas dayanıklılığı testi ile değerlendirildi. Uyarlanmış bel ağrısı soru formu, bel ağrısı ve fizik aktivite düzeyini değerlendirmede kullanıldı. Tanımlayıcı ve çıkarımsal istatistikler verilerin analizinde kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık alfa kesim noktası 0.05 olarak belirlendi. SONUÇ: Oniki aylık ve nokta bel ağrısı prevalansı sırasıyla %49.4 ve %11.2 bulundu. RESULTS: The 12-month and point prevalence of LBP were 49.4% and 11.2% respectively. Bel ağrısı riski, AEKD düşük olanlara göre orta ve yüksek olanlarda sırasıyla (Odd's oranı ve %9 güven aralığı), OR 0.52; %95GA 0.21-0.82 ve OR 0.97, %95 GA 0.48-1.96 bulunmuştur. Fiziksel aktivite ile bel ağrısı ve AEKD arasındaki ilişki istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p>0.05). Ki-kare test sonucu AEKD'nin fizik aktiviteden bağımsız olarak bel ağrısı ile ilişkili olduğunu gösterdi. (?2 = 11.499; p = 0.003). TARTIŞMA: Kötü sırt ekstansör kas dayanıklılığı ve düşük fiziksel aktivite bel ağrısı riskini bağımsız olarak yaklaşık bir kat artırmaktadır, fakat adölesanlarda bel ağrısı ile eş zamanlı bir ilişkileri yoktur

Fizik Aktivite ve Okul Çağı Adölesanlarda Bel Ağrısı Riski Olarak Extensor Sırt Kasları Dayanıklılığı Arasındaki İlişki

AIM: Studies relating physical activity (PA), and back extensor muscles endurance (BEME) to the risk for low-back pain (LBP) in adolescents are scanty. This study examined the association of PA and BEME with risk of LBP in school-aged adolescents. METHOD: Six hundred and twenty five secondary school students aged between 10 to 19 years volunteered for this study, and underwent the modified Biering-Sİrensen test of Static Muscular Endurance (BSME). An adapted LBP questionnaire was used to assess for LBP and PA level. Descriptive and inferential analyses were used to analyze data. Significance was set at 0.05 α- level. RESULTS: The 12-month and point prevalence of LBP were 49.4% and 11.2% respectively. Odd’s ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of developing LBP among those that had poor compared with those with moderate and good BEME were (OR 0.52; CI 0.21–0.82) and (OR 0.97; CI 0.48–1.96) respectively. The OR and 95% CI of developing LBP among those that had low PA compared with those with moderate and good PA level were (OR 0.72; CI 0.43–1.23) and (OR 0.55; CI 0.23–1.29) respectively. The joint associations of PA and BEME with LBP was not significant (p>0.05). Chi square result indicated that BEME was significantly (χ2 = 11.499; p = 0.003) associated with LBP independent of PA level. CONCLUSION: Poor back extensor muscles endurance and low physical activity independently increased the risk of LBP by approximately one time but did not have a synchronous association with one another as it relates to developing LBP in adolescents
