79 The influence of age and sex on knee extensor strength symmetry in patients 6 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
of factors associated with LBP Variable InterpretationAge Players aged 25 to 30 are at greater odds (OR = 3.04) of developing LBP compared to the older group. StaturePlayers under <170 cm were at lower odds (OR = 0.11 to 0.12) of developing LBP compared to those >170 cm. PositionGoalkeepers and midfielders seem to present with slightly higher odds of LBP (OR = 1.45 to 1.75). Playing international hockeyThose competing at an international level are at higher odds of LBP (OR = 1.78). Drag FlickThose who drag flick in short corner routines are at 4.05 times greater odds of developing LBP.LB stiffness or tightness Players who perceive their LB to be stiff or tight are at 4.82 times greater risk of developing LBP. Occupational factorsLifting heavy load at work, perceived work to prevent recovery, and experiencing a stressful life event were associated with greater odds of LBP (OR = 1.62 to 2.53).Perceiving work to induce fatigue, good sleep quantity, and minimal job stress were associated with lower odds of LBP (OR = 0.13 to 0.60).
