“…The prevalence of non-trivial LBP in our study (36%) was much higher than that previously reported for LBP requiring medical treatment in adult male collegiate athletes [55] [42]. Similarly, in the study of Masiero et al, the annual prevalence of LBP interfering in some way with activities was reported to be 20.5% [49].…”

The association between isoinertial trunk muscle performance and low back pain in male adolescents

The literature reports inconsistent findings regarding the association between low back pain (LBP) and trunk muscle function, in both adults and children. The strength of the relationship appears to be influenced by how LBP is qualified and the means by which muscle function is measured. The aim of this study was to examine the association between isoinertial trunk muscle performance and consequential (non-trivial) low back pain (LBP) in male adolescents. Healthy male adolescents underwent anthropometric measurements, clinical evaluation, and tests of trunk range of motion (ROM), maximum isometric strength (STRENGTH) and peak movement velocity (VEL), using an isoinertial device. They provided information about their regular sporting activities, history and family history of LBP. Predictors of ''relevant/consequential LBP'' were examined using multivariable logistic regression. LBP status was reassessed after 2 years and the change from baseline was categorised. At baseline, 33/95 (35%) subjects reported having experienced consequential LBP. BMI, a family history of LBP, and regularly playing sport were each significantly associated with a history of consequential LBP (p \ 0.05). 85/95 (89%) boys participated in the follow-up: 51 (60%) reported no LBP at either baseline or follow-up (never LBP); 5 (6%) no LBP at baseline, but LBP at follow-up (new LBP); 19 (22%) LBP at baseline, but none at follow-up; and 10 (12%) LBP at both time-points (recurrent/persistent LBP). The only distinguishing features of group membership in these small groups were: fewer sport-active in the ''never LBP'' group); worse trunk mobility, in the ''persistent LBP'' group, lower baseline sagittal ROM in the ''never LBP'' and ''new LBP'' (p \ 0.05). Regular involvement in sport was a consistent predictor of LBP. Isoinertial trunk performance was not associated with LBP in adolescents.

“…Several potential consequences of LBP, such as recurrent episodes or chronic LBP [17] have been mentioned in previous studies compromising athlete's performance [18] and causing vulnerability to other injuries via changes in neuromuscular control and stabilization of lumbar-pelvic complex [19]. Investigating the prevalence of LBP and its risk factors among different types of sports, particularly in special groups such as females, adolescents, and professionals could be beneficial regarding development of prevention strategies for LBP and its adverse consequences [9].…”

Low back pain status of female university students in relation to different sport activities

While most of the existing literatures regarding female athletes' LBP have focused on particular sports with specific low back demands (such as skiing and rowing), many other sports have not been studied very well in this regard. Investigating LBP prevalence and related factors in other types of sports, such as combat sports, badminton and shooting, can help us better understand the prevalence of low back pain and provide us with necessary insight to take effective steps towards its prevention in athletes.

“…The ability to predict injuries is equally as important as the ability to evaluate and treat injuries. Numerous sports medicine professionals have expressed the need for specific assessment techniques that utilise a more functional approach in order to identify movement deficits (Battie et al, 1989;Cook, Burton, Fields, & Kiesel, 1998;Cook, Burton, & Hoogenboom, 2006a;Nadler, Moley, & Malanga, 2002).…”

“…These problems, previously acknowledged as significant risk factors, can be identified using the FMS. This movement-based assessment serves to pinpoint functional deficits related to proprioceptive, mobility and stability weaknesses (Battie et al, 1989;Cook et al, 1998;Cook et al, 2006a;Cook, Burton, & Hogenboom, 2006b;Nadler et al, 2002). Therefore, the aim of current research was to determine the relationship between FMS score and history of injury in identifying the predictive value of the FMS for injury.…”

This study aimed to reveal the functional ability of functional movement screening (FMS) scores in determining an athlete's predisposition to injury. One hundred (50 females and 50 males) university level athletes, weight of 69.44 ± 5.84 kg, height of 172.69 ± 7.26 cm, age of 22.56 ± 2.99 years and Baecke score 21.66 ± 1.73, practised in football, handball and basketball sports (at least for 5 years), with no recent (<6 weeks) history of musculoskeletal injury were recruited. Of the 100 subjects, 35 of them suffered an acute, lower extremity (ankle = 20 and knee = 15 subjects) injury. An odds ratio was calculated at 4.70, meaning that an athlete has an approximately 4.7 times greater chance of suffering a lower extremity injury during a regular competitive season if they score less than 17 on the FMS. This study provides FMS reference values for university level athletes that will assist in the interpretation of individual scores when screening athletes for musculoskeletal injury and performance factors. More research is still necessary before implementing the FMS into a pre-participation physical examination for athletics, but due to the low cost and its simplicity to implement, it should be considered by clinicians and researchers in the future.
