The aim of the study was (1) to characterise back pain in physically inactive students as well as in trained (with a high level of physical activity) and untrained (with an average level of physical activity) physical education (PE) students and (2) to find out whether there exist differences regarding the declared incidence of back pain (within the last 12 months) between physically inactive students and PE students as well as between trained (with a high level of physical activity) and untrained (with an average level of physical activity) PE students.
The study included 1321 1st-, 2nd- and 3rd-year students (full-time bachelor degree course) of Physical Education, Physiotherapy, Pedagogy as well as Tourism and Recreation from 4 universities in Poland. A questionnaire prepared by the authors was applied as a research tool. The 10-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain intensity. Prior to the study, the reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by conducting it on the group of 20 participants twice with a shorter interval. No significant differences between the results obtained in the two surveys were revealed (p < 0.05).
In the group of 1311 study participants, 927 (70.7%) respondents declared having experienced back pain within the last 12 months. Physically inactive students declared back pain frequency similar to the frequency declared by their counterparts studying physical education (p > 0.05). Back pain was more common in the group of trained students than among untrained individuals (p < 0.05). Back pain was mainly located in the lumbar spine.
A frequent occurrence of back pain (70.7%) was noted in the examined groups of students. The percentage of students declaring back pain increased in the course of studies (p < 0.05) and, according to the students' declarations, it was located mainly in the lumbar spine. No significant differences regarding the incidence of back pain were found between physically inactive students and physical education students (p > 0.05). The trained students declared back pain more often than their untrained counterparts (p < 0.05).
本研究的目的是:(1)描述缺乏体育活动的学生以及受过训练(体育活动水平高)和未受过训练(体育活动水平一般)的体育专业学生的背痛情况;(2)查明缺乏体育活动的学生与体育专业学生之间以及受过训练(体育活动水平高)和未受过训练(体育活动水平一般)的体育专业学生之间在宣称的背痛发生率(过去12个月内)方面是否存在差异。
该研究纳入了来自波兰4所大学的体育、物理治疗、教育学以及旅游与休闲专业的1321名一年级、二年级和三年级学生(全日制本科学位课程)。作者编制的问卷被用作研究工具。采用10分视觉模拟量表(VAS)评估疼痛强度。在研究之前,通过在20名参与者组成的小组中进行两次间隔较短的问卷调查来评估问卷的信度。两次调查结果之间未发现显著差异(p < 0.05)。
在1311名研究参与者中,927名(70.7%)受访者宣称在过去12个月内经历过背痛。缺乏体育活动的学生宣称的背痛频率与体育专业的同龄人宣称的频率相似(p > 0.05)。背痛在受过训练的学生组中比未受过训练的个体中更常见(p < 0.05)。背痛主要位于腰椎。
在所检查的学生群体中发现背痛频繁发生(70.7%)。宣称背痛的学生百分比在学习过程中有所增加(p < 0.05),并且根据学生的宣称,背痛主要位于腰椎。在缺乏体育活动的学生和体育专业学生之间未发现背痛发生率的显著差异(p > 0.05)。受过训练的学生比未受过训练的同龄人更常宣称背痛(p < 0.05)。
