To compare physical fitness between rice farmers with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and a healthy control group.
Sixty-eight rice farmers with CLBP were matched according to age and sex with healthy farmers. All subjects underwent nine physical fitness tests for body composition, lifting capacity, static back extensor endurance, leg strength, static abdominal endurance, handgrip strength, hamstring flexibility, posterior leg and back muscles flexibility and abdominal flexibility.
There was no significant difference between CLBP and healthy groups for all tests, except the static back extensor endurance. The back extensor endurance times of the CLBP group was significantly lower than that of the control group (p = 0.002).
Static back extensor endurance is the deficient physical fitness in CLBP rice farmers. Back extensor endurance training should be emphasized in both prevention and rehabilitation programs.
比较患有慢性下背痛(CLBP)的稻农与健康对照组之间的身体素质。
68名患有CLBP的稻农根据年龄和性别与健康农民进行匹配。所有受试者都接受了九项身体素质测试,包括身体成分、举重能力、静态背部伸肌耐力、腿部力量、静态腹部耐力、握力、腘绳肌柔韧性、后腿和背部肌肉柔韧性以及腹部柔韧性。
除静态背部伸肌耐力外,CLBP组和健康组在所有测试中均无显著差异。CLBP组的背部伸肌耐力时间显著低于对照组(p = 0.002)。
静态背部伸肌耐力是患有CLBP的稻农身体素质中的不足之处。在预防和康复计划中都应强调背部伸肌耐力训练。
