Low back pain in cycling: does it matter how you sit?
Journal Title: Journal of Science and Cycling - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Low Back Pain (LBP) is a common problem among cyclists, although studies investigating LBP during cycling are scarce. Most studies have focused on LBP and geometric bike-related variables. Until now no cycling field studies have investigated the relationship between maladaptive lumbar kinematics and LBP during cycling. To examine lower lumbar kinematics in cyclists with and without non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP).
