“…The articles were published between 2004 and 2022, and the sample size ranged from 8 [48] to 2,116 [49] participants. The participants' age ranged from 10-year-old gymnasts [50] to 56-year-old golfers [51]. The terms that defined the athletes' competitive level, such as educational (education, university student, elite sports school), divisional (international, national, regional, and local), age (veterans), competition (professional or elite and recreational (club and intramural sports and Junior Olympic program) levels varied considerably between the studies.…”

Back pain in athletes varies with sport, age, and sex, which can impair athletic performance, thereby contributing to retirement. Studies on back pain in this population use questionnaires to assess components, such as pain intensity and location and factors associated with pain, among others. This study aimed to review validated questionnaires that have assessed back pain in athletes. This systematic review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) by searching the databases Embase, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, and Scopus. The articles were selected regardless of language and date of publication. Titles and abstracts were independently selected by two reviewers; disagreements were resolved by a third reviewer. All the steps were conducted using the software Rayyan. The methodological quality of the questionnaire validation articles was assessed using a critical appraisal tool checklist proposed by Brink and Louw. The search returned 4748 articles, of which 60 were selected for this review, including 5 questionnaire validation studies. These articles were published between 2004 and 2022, which were performed in more than 20 countries, particularly Germany (14) and Sweden (5). Thirteen different instruments were identified, of which 46.1% were developed in Europe. The most commonly used questionnaires were the Oswestry Disability Index and Nordic Standardized Questionnaire. In addition, five questionnaire validation studies were selected for methodological quality assessment, with only two studies demonstrating high methodological quality. The following three instruments were identified for assessing back pain specifically in athletes: Micheli Functional Scale, Persian Functional Rating Index, and Athlete Disability Index. This review confirmed that all three instruments were specifically designed to assess this condition.

“…La percepción que tenían las cuatro personas entrevistadas sobre las causas de dolor lumbar fue otra de las categorías analizadas y estaba muy relacionada con la de otros autores. Entre ellas destacamos, en primer lugar, las continuas extensiones y rotaciones de tronco: todas ellas confirman tanto en la gimnasia rítmica como en la danza (aunque esta última en menor proporción) que se buscan los extremos y posturas disarmónicas, lo cual puede repercutir negativamente en la salud de la espalda (Cugusi et al, 2020;Hart et al, 2018;Henn et al, 2020;Paxinos et al, 2019;Solomon et al, 2017;Sweeney et al, 2019). Sin embargo, una de las diferencias sustanciales entre ambas disciplinas son los saltos.…”

“…Las rutinas de gimnasia son complejas, con movimientos repetitivos direccionales que ejercen presión sobre la columna vertebral (d 'Hemecourt & Luke, 2012). La gimnasia requiere una flexión y extensión extremas de la columna, así como saltos y levantamiento de cargas que incrementan el dolor de espalda (Sweeney et al, 2019). Específicamente, la hiperextensión repetida y las fuerzas de rotación predisponen a las gimnastas a la espondilólisis o espondilolistesis (Kruse & Lemmen, 2009).…”

“…According to the literature, trunk and hip muscles strength are the common components of the LBP (3,4). Performing sports skills requires strong trunk and hip muscles, thus an athlete who lacks muscles strength may possess an increased risk of LBP (5). Hip muscles assist in the segmental stability of the lumbar area and are essential for maintaining dynamic alignment and biomechanics of the trunk and hip joint (2,4).…”
