    Summary

    Most rifle and pistol shooters experience low back pain during or after competition. Tightness in the iliotibial band and tensor fascia lata muscles, identified by Ober

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Biomechanics
    • Musculoskeletal Health

    Background:

    • Low back pain is a common complaint among rifle and pistol shooters, affecting performance and well-being.
    • Understanding the prevalence and potential contributing factors of back pain in this specific athletic population is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the prevalence of low back pain in competitive rifle and pistol shooters.
    • To identify potential correlations between specific posture and flexibility measures and reported back pain.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire was used to gather data on back pain experiences from 80 competitive shooters.
    • A rapid screening test battery, including 11 posture and flexibility assessments, was administered.
    • Statistical analysis was performed to identify significant correlations between physical assessments and reported pain.

    Main Results:

    • A high prevalence of low back pain was reported, with 78% experiencing pain during competition and 63% afterward.
    • Ober's test, assessing iliotibial band and tensor fascia lata muscle tightness, showed a significant correlation with reported back pain.
    • No significant correlation was found between other tested posture and flexibility measures and back pain.

    Conclusions:

    • Low back pain is highly prevalent in rifle and pistol shooters.
    • Tightness in the iliotibial band and tensor fascia lata muscles may be a significant contributing factor to back pain in this group.
    • Targeted interventions focusing on these specific muscle groups could be beneficial for pain management and prevention.
