本研究的目的是在探討成年人的健康體適能是否和下背痛的程度相關。本研究為一橫斷性研究,以年齡介於25-59歲之間之成年人作為評估對象。以問卷方式,評量其個人的主要身體活動方式及運動習慣; 健康體適能測驗包括身高、體重、身體質量指數、坐姿體前彎、體側彎、一分鐘仰臥起坐及俯臥仰體測驗;下背痛的評估包括下背痛病史及下背痛生活障礙(The Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability) 問卷。 本研究92名成年人當中,共有77位完成測驗及問卷的填答,參與率為83.7%。其中男性25人佔32.5%,女性52人占67.5%,女性在體側彎、一分鐘仰臥起坐的成績表現上,比男性差(P<.05)。年齡越大,體側彎、一分鐘仰臥起坐、俯臥仰體的成績就越差(P<.05)。過去一年內,曾發生下背痛的人及現在正有下背痛的人,其下背痛指數(Oswestry Disability Index)顯著大於從未發生過下背痛的人(F=10.88,P<.05)。下背痛指數(ODI)和一分鐘仰臥起坐測驗成績之間有顯著的負相關(r=0.315,P<.05)。再以逐步多元迴歸分析,以下背痛生活障礙指數(ODI)為變項,結果顯示一分鐘仰臥起坐成績為顯著決定因子。
The present study will focus on the discussion of the relationship with health fitness and low back pain. The cross-sectional study was based on age25 to 59 adults. Through questionnaires(including life style and exercise experience)、 The health fitness test (including body height、body weight、BMI、Sit-and-reach、Lateral-bending、Sit-up and Trunk extension test),and low back pain surveillance(including low back pain history and the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaires). In this study, total 77 effective data were collected(83.7﹪),including 25 males(32.5﹪)and 52 females(67.5﹪).Females have lower scale on Lateral-bending and Sit-up(p<.05). Age was negative correlated with Lateral-bending、Sit-up and Trunk extension test(p<.05). People with low back pain in last one year have higher degrees of The Oswestry Disability Index(F=10.88,p<.05).The Oswestry Disability Index was negative correlated with Sit-up(r=0.315,p<.05). A stepwise liner regression designed to predict the Oswestry Disability Index, and only height and Sit-up were found can predict low back pain in this study.
