The exercise and smoking habits of low back or leg pain sufferers vs. persons not having low back or leg pain are compared. The type, frequency and length of exercise is determined from a study of 576 low back or leg pain sufferers compared to 50 persons who state they are symptomatic. The same was done for smoking habits. Thirty-three percent of low back or leg pain sufferers smoked as compared to 14% of those without pain. Forty-seven percent of low back or leg pain sufferers as compared to 86% of non-sufferers exercised regularly. The level of physical activity and general exercise have been found to improve strength, mobility and endurance; this might prevent future back injury. Our study is to determine differences in the exercise habits of persons with low back and/or leg pain vs. those who do not have pain, with the intention being to see if pain sufferers exercise less.
对下背部或腿部疼痛患者与无下背部或腿部疼痛者的运动和吸烟习惯进行了比较。通过对576名下背部或腿部疼痛患者与50名自称有症状的人进行研究，确定了运动的类型、频率和时长。对吸烟习惯也进行了同样的研究。33%的下背部或腿部疼痛患者吸烟，而无疼痛者中这一比例为14%。47%的下背部或腿部疼痛患者经常锻炼，而非患者中这一比例为86%。已发现身体活动水平和常规锻炼可提高力量、灵活性和耐力；这可能预防未来的背部损伤。我们的研究旨在确定下背部和/或腿部疼痛者与无疼痛者在运动习惯上的差异，目的是查看疼痛患者的运动量是否较少。
