Implication

Cross-sectional study identifies physical factors influencing chronic low back pain in collegiate baseball players, suggesting assessment of mobility is important.

Key Points

  • The study aims to identify physical factors associated with chronic low back pain in collegiate baseball players.
  • Cross-sectional study involving 153 collegiate baseball players, with 118 included in final analysis.
  • Assessment of body composition, trunk flexibility, hip range of motion, trunk muscle strength, and training loads.
  • Comparison of CLBP and non-low back pain groups using parametric/nonparametric tests and logistic regression.
  • Prevalence of chronic low back pain was 18.9%.
  • CLBP group showed significantly reduced standing trunk flexion (OR=0.94, 95% CI 0.889-0.997) and lead-leg hip internal rotation (OR=0.93, 95% CI 0.877-1.000) compared to non-CLBP.
  • Both trunk flexion and hip internal rotation were independently associated with chronic low back pain.
