【 摘 要 】

Purpose: Physical activity (PA) is a well-known, simple and effective preventive and27 therapeutic intervention for low back pain (LBP). In spite of the growing interest in active28 lifestyles and its benefits, more needs to be known about the relationship between energy29 expenditure, body mass and lumbar-pelvic kinematics during the forward bending movement30 in a group of young asymptomatic people who met PA guidelines. Young people can be31 identified as a future risk group of civilisation diseases and lumbar-hip kinematics can be32 considered as a predictor of LBP occurrence. The aim of this study was to identify the33 association of sex, self-reported energy expenditure, body mass index, and lumbar-hip34 kinematics in young people.35 Methods: Sixty-four students at pre-employment stage participated in the study. They declared36 moderate-to-high PA and activity-induced energy expenditure (AEE) was self-reported.37 Kinematic data of the lumbar spine, pelvis, and hip were collected during forward bending38 using a 3D motion capture system.39 Results: Sex was found to be associated with pelvis (β=-0.38 p=0.002) and lumbar mobility40 (β=0.49, p<0.001) during forward bending and BMI was related only to lumbar mobility (β=-41 0.41, p=0.001). Recreation AEE significantly predicted hip flexion mobility (β =0.38, p=0.002).42 Conclusions: This study showed that among a sample of physically active young people, BMI,43 self-reported AEE, and sex can partially predict lumbar-hip kinematics during trunk flexion.44 Recreational PA can be regarded as improving hip mobility and thus making forward bending45 more effective and less prone to injury.
