Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence for causal relationships between physical activity (PA) and low back pain (LBP), osteoarthritis (OA), and osteoporosis (OP), and for dose-response relations involved. METHODS: Computer database searches and personal retrieval systems were used to locate relevant literature. RESULTS: PA can be effective in preventing LBP (Category A) but prolonged, heavy loading can lead to LBP (Category C). Specific exercises have not been found effective in treatment of acute LBP (Category A), but PA can be effective in chronic LBP (Category B), especially for diminishing the effects of deconditioning. No evidence indicates that PA directly prevents OA. Large amounts of intensive PA involving high impacts or torsional loadings or causing injuries increases risk of OA (Category C). Light or moderate PA does not increase the risk of OA (Category C). PA can be effective in the treatment and rehabilitation of OA (Category B). High-intensity loading is osteogenic and possibly useful in prevention of OP (Category A) at the loaded site, but low to moderate loading is not osteogenic (Category D). Static efforts and slow movements are ineffective or less effective than fast application of force (Category B). The types of PA to attain the effects mentioned above are known except in the case of prevention of LBP, but dose-response relationships are poorly known; at best, semiquantitatively on the basis of just a few studies. CONCLUSION: Given the shown primary and/or secondary preventative effectiveness of PA regarding LBP, OA, and OP, research to elucidate the inadequately known dose-response relations should be given high priority.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
