Objectives: Sleep disturbance is prevalent among patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). This systematic review aimed to summarize the evidence regarding the: (1) temporal relations between changes in sleep quality/quantity and the corresponding changes in pain and/or disability; and (2) role of baseline sleep quality/quantity in predicting future pain and/or disability in patients with CLBP.Methods: Four databases were searched from their inception to February 2021. Two reviewers independently screened the abstract and full text, extracted data, assessed the methodological quality of the included studies, and evaluated the quality of evidence of the findings using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE).Results: Of 1995 identified references, 6 articles involving 1641 participants with CLBP were included. Moderate-quality evidence substantiated that improvements in self-reported sleep quality and total sleep time were significantly correlated with the corresponding LBP reduction. Low-quality evidence showed that self-reported improvements in sleep quality were related to the corresponding improvements in CLBP-related disability. There was conflicting evidence regarding the relation between baseline sleep quality/ quantity and future pain/disability in patients with CLBP.Discussion: This is the first systematic review to accentuate that improved self-reported sleep quality/quantity may be associated with improved pain/disability, although it remains unclear whether baseline sleep quality/quantity is a prognostic factor for CLBP. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the mechanisms underlying the relation between sleep and CLBP, which may inform the necessity of assessing or treating sleep disturbance in people with CLBP.

“…There are numerous work arrangement debates on O&G workers that headline psychosocial effects (Anwer et al, 2021;Chandrasegaran et al, 2020;Ferguson et al, 2020;Hope et al, 2010;Mokarami et al, 2021). For example, Bergh et al's (2018) analysis showed that there was a significant association between job resources and job demand with work-related stress, while there were considerable differences between onshore and offshore stress levels.…”

“…For example, Bergh et al's (2018) analysis showed that there was a significant association between job resources and job demand with work-related stress, while there were considerable differences between onshore and offshore stress levels. On a similar note, engineering field workers, such as construction workers, were also exposed to psychosocial risk factors (high job demands, low job satisfaction and stress) that upset their physical build through the development of musculoskeletal disorders (Anwer et al, 2021).…”

This paper highlights the patterns of psychosocial challenges confronting O&G workers that result in mental health issues worldwide through a systematic review of notable academic databases. This study integrated multiple research designs, and the review was based on the publication standard, namely RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses (ROSES). Thematic analysis was undertaken, and four emerging themes were identified: 1) demographic factors, 2) personality, 3) psychosocial risks, and 4) health conditions. The findings contributed to several theoretical and practical implications, which are essential for researchers in the O&G field and policymakers.

“…Injury and injury prevention is one of the most studied health issues related to physical activity and sport sciences due to its consequences on performance, cessation of practice, and economic repercussions, such as sports or work-related time off. Previous studies have looked at the specificity of injuries in various areas of life [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ].…”

Groin injuries are one of the most prevalent in sports, especially due to the hip adductor muscles’ weakness, which is considered as a risk factor. The Copenhagen adduction exercise (CAE) has been demonstrated to increase the strength of adductor muscles, but its effects on the architectural characteristics and flexibility of the adductors has been little studied. The aim of the present study was to analyse the impact on the muscular architecture and flexibility of the adductor musculature after 8 weeks of CAE-based training and after 4 weeks of subsequent detraining. A sample of 45 active subjects (26.1 ± 2.8 years old) were randomly divided into a control group with no intervention and an experimental group with an intervention based on 8 weeks of CAE training and 4 weeks of subsequent detraining. The muscle thickness of adductors was measured before and after training and detraining using ultrasound imaging and hip abduction range with goniometry. A significant increase in muscle thickness (left leg: +17.83%, d = 1.77, p < 0.001//right leg: +18.38%, d = 1.82, p < 0.001) and adductor flexibility was found in the experimental group (left leg: +7.3%, d = 0.96, p < 0.05//right leg: +7.15%, d = 0.94, p < 0.05), and after detraining, both variables returned to their initial values. These results could indicate that CAE would be a suitable strategy to modify the architecture of the adductors and thus form part of training protocols designed for the prevention and rehabilitation of muscle injuries.
