Abstract

Lower back pain is common among recreational cyclists. While the exact cause is still unknown, it has been suggested that it may be linked to cycling posture and weak core muscles. The aim of this study was to establish the relationship between riding position, core strength, and the onset of lower back pain. Twenty-one cyclists from recreative team took part in the study. Biomechanics were assessed in two dimensions using Kinovea software. Seven Functional Movement Screen (FMS) tests were performed, and a survey on self-reported low back pain was completed, including demographic questions. A significant correlation was found between lower back pain and the number of training days (p = 0.029). The other variables did not demonstrate statistical significance. The absence of a relationship between Functional Movement Screen and pain may be due to the small sample size. Other factors, such as load, technique, strength, and flexibility, should also be considered.
