“…However, contrary to our hypothesis, we cannot support a correlation between FreBAQ-S with general physical activity. Previous research on healthy people pointed out that physical activity positively affects body awareness level, in terms of the Body Awareness Questionnaire (Kalkışım et al, 2022). There is also additional evidence of the effects of practicing yoga that facilitates an increase of body awareness (Rivest-Gadbois and Boudrias, 2019).…”

IntroductionIn chronic low back pain (CLBP), disturbed body image has been highlighted as a contributor to the condition and a potential target for treatment. The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) allows its assessment. Following international guidelines for the cross-cultural translation of questionnaires, we aimed to translate the FreBAQ into Spanish (FreBAQ-S) and validate the new questionnaire in a sample of Spanish-speaking people with CLBP.MethodsTwo hundred and sixty-four adults with CLBP (91 males) and 128 healthy controls (34 males) completed an online form including the FreBAQ-S and questionnaires related to the pain experience. All participants were Spanish and no gender identities differing from biological sex were reported. A week later, 113 CLBP participants and 45 healthy controls (41 and 13 males, respectively), re-answered the FreBAQ-S to evaluate test–retest reliability. Confirmatory factor and multigroup analysis assessed the scale consistency on the patient sample. Discriminant and convergent validity were explored by between-group differences and the relationship with clinical characteristics. Reliability relied on Cronbach’s alpha estimates and test–retest (intraclass correlation coefficient, standard error of measurement, minimal detectable change).Results and discussionConfirmatory factor analysis showed a one-factor structure of the questionnaire, without supporting evidence for item deletion (CFI = 0.97; TLI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.06; SRMR = 0.07; SRMRu = 0.064). Multigroup analyses do not support mean invariance between groups regarding health condition or sex. The FreBAQ-S demonstrated good discriminant and convergent validity, internal consistency (α = 0.82), and test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.78; SE = 3.41; MDC = 5.12). The FreBAQ-S is a valid and reliable tool to assess back awareness in clinical and non-clinical samples.

“…In the relevant literature, studies on body awareness are primarily focused on conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain. Body awareness, which plays a key role in the relationship between the body and the mind, may be affected by body structures and functions disturbances such as pain 15,38 . Our results suggest that although body awareness is not statistically significant, it tends to be lower in women with PMS compared to women without PMS.…”

“…In line with our results, Kalkışım et al and El Ansari et al reported that individuals with high physical activity levels have higher body awareness. 15,39 It is stated that individuals with high body awareness may sense the changes in their bodies and show defense in adverse situations. 40 Considering the importance of body awareness in recognizing changes occurring in the body, it can be a significant factor in management of PMS.…”

IntroductionThe study aims to investigate the relationship between premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and physical activity, body awareness, and the benefits/barriers to exercise (a), as well as to compare women with and without PMS in relation to these parameters (b).Materials and MethodsParticipants were administered The Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), International Physical Activity Questionnaire‐Short Form (IPAQ‐SF), Body Awareness Questionnaire, and The Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale.ResultsThe age range of the participants included in the study was 19–48, with a mean age of 26.45 ± 7.14. A statistically significant difference was found between the women with and without PMS in terms of PMSS score, exercise benefits subscale score, and exercise barriers subscale score (p < 0.05). The results indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between PMSS score and exercise barriers subscale score (p < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between IPAQ score and body awareness questionnaire, exercise benefits subscale score, total score of exercise benefits and barriers of scale (p < 0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between IPAQ score and exercise barriers subscale score (p < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between body awareness questionnaire score and exercise benefits subscale score, total score of exercise benefits and barriers of scale (p < 0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between body awareness questionnaire score and exercise barriers subscale score (p < 0.05).ConclusionThis study provide valuable insights into the relationship between PMS, physical activity, body awareness, and exercise benefits/barriers among women. By addressing the barriers and benefits to exercise and enhancing body awareness, healthcare professionals can potentially improve women's with PMS overall well‐being and encourage them to adopt and maintain a physically active lifestyle.
