Abstract
Our surveys have shown lifetime prevalance of L. BP. over 30% among scholoahildren. The purpose of this sudy was to evaluate the relationship between back and isokinetic trunk strength, anthropometric parameters, and sports activities. One hundred and seventeen healthy children aged 10–16 years were included. All these volunteers had semi-structured interview, anthropometric and dynamic strength measurements. Lifetime prevalence of back pain was 44.5% and point prevalnce was 13%. In this cross-sectional study, anthropometric and strength profiles were significanlty related to age and gender, Non specific low back pain was not correlasted to trunk muscle strength and/or sports activities.
