Implication

Examines spinal alignment and trunk muscle activity related to back pain in male high school soccer players, highlighting possible underlying mechanisms.

Key Points

To investigate the relationship between spinal alignment and deep trunk muscle function in male high school soccer players with low back pain.
90 male high school soccer players were surveyed for low back pain using a questionnaire.
Participants were divided into two groups: non-LBP (n=58) and LBP (n=32).
Spinal alignment was measured by analyzing thoracic kyphotic angle, lumbar lordosis angle, and sacral inclination angle during different positions.
Non-LBP group showed correlations between TKA, LLA, and SIA; LBP group showed limited correlations.
In LBP group, lower contraction rates of the lumbar multifidus muscle were observed compared to non-LBP group.
Findings suggest that spinal alignment changes and trunk muscle contraction rates are implicated in low back pain.
