Abstract

Background: Few studies have specifically addressed the prevalence of and risk factors for lower back pain (LBP) in basketball players. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of and risk factors for LBP in a sample of university-level basketball players in Korea.
Methods: A total of 63 basketball players of five universities in Korea were included in the study. A survey was conducted in athletes using a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire included items such as age, height, weight, career length, amount of training, LBP intensity, history of LBP throughout the lifetime, history of lower back injury, frequency of LBP in the past year, and smoking and drinking (i.e., alcohol consumption) history. To analyze risk factors for LBP, the LBP and non-LBP groups were compared using multiple regression analysis.
Results: Of the 63 athletes, 53 (84.1%) had LBP throughout their lifetime (lifetime prevalence), and 44 (69.8%) had LBP in the past year (one-year prevalence). Multiple regression analysis revealed that daily training time (P = 0.034; odds ratio [OR], 1.706) and history of lower back injury (P = 0.048; OR, 9.834) were the main risk factors for LBP.
Conclusion: The prevalence of LBP was relatively high in Korean university basketball players. Risk factors for LBP included daily training duration and history of lower back injury. For the back health of basketball players, it is necessary to control the amount of training and prevent lower back injury.
