Description

<p>The purpose of this study was to determine the association between low back pain (LBP) and physical characteristics in male university ice hockey players. The subjects were 29 male university ice hockey players. Based on the results of Osaka City University (OCU) Test Survey that we conducted for all players, they were divided into 2 groups: the Low Back Pain Group (LBP) (n=9) and the Non-Low Back Pain Group (non-LBP) (n=20).</p><p>We surveyed body height, body weight, BMI, age, years of experience, range of motion, joint flexibility, muscle tightness, and hip abductor muscle strength.</p><p>In ice hockey players, the results indicated significantly lower hip abductor muscle strength (P<0.05), and higher range of motion of right hip abduction (P<0.05), right knee extension (P<0.05), and finger floor distance( FFD) in the LBP group than in the non-LBP group (P<0.01). In the right knee extension range of motion left-right difference of the opposite side was observed as significant (P<0.05). We considered that relative right hip abductor muscle strength, and range of motion of right hip abduction, right knee extension, and FFD have a certain effect on LBP in male university ice hockey players.</p>
