To study the correlation between the incidence of low back pain in active runners and cyclists to their level of lumbopelvic inflexibility.
Laboratory setting.
One hundred eight volunteers were chosen. None had prior surgery to the hip or lumbar spine regions. Along with runners and cyclists, a sedentary control group was chosen. A medical questionnaire focusing on activity levels in sport and the incidence of disability and low back pain was completed. Eight variables were calculated for statistical significance.
None. KNOWN OUTCOME MEASURES: Correlation between all variables were calculated. Additionally, ANOVAs for total group on each dependent variable were conducted, followed by Tukey HSDs where significant.
Results indicated significant correlations between hip extension and sit and reach [r (106) = .36, p > .001], year in sport and mileage [r (106) = .39, p > .001], and sex and hip extension [r (106) = .35, p > .001].
A correlation between hip and low back inflexibility and the incidence of low back pain and disability in runners and cyclists is not supported by our data. Inconsistency of age control within our subject groups, along with the choice of flexibility testing, may necessitate further investigation on this subject.
研究经常跑步者和骑自行车者的下背痛发病率与腰骨盆灵活性水平之间的相关性。
实验室环境。
选取了108名志愿者。他们均未接受过髋部或腰椎区域的既往手术。除跑步者和骑自行车者外，还选取了一个久坐不动的对照组。完成了一份关于运动活动水平以及残疾和下背痛发病率的医学问卷。计算了八个变量的统计学显著性。
无。已知结果测量指标：计算所有变量之间的相关性。此外，对每个因变量进行全组方差分析，若有显著性差异则接着进行图基 Honestly significant difference（HSD）检验。
结果表明髋伸展与坐位体前屈之间存在显著相关性[r(106)=.36，p>.001]，运动年限与里程数之间存在显著相关性[r(106)=.39，p>.001]，以及性别与髋伸展之间存在显著相关性[r(106)=.35，p>.001]。
我们的数据不支持髋部和下背部灵活性与跑步者和骑自行车者的下背痛及残疾发病率之间存在相关性。我们受试者组内年龄控制的不一致，以及灵活性测试的选择，可能需要对该主题进行进一步研究。
