Introduction[edit | edit source]
Young athlete definition.
In the United Kingdom there are a large number of children and adolescents who are participating in sport. The government is currently spending over £450 million on improving the quality of the Physical Education and sport activities that pupils are offered (7). Leading to high numbers of participants in sport, not only inside of school but outside as well, 96.7% of children aged 11-16 and 84.1% of children aged 5-10 participated in sport outside of school (8).

Low back pain (LBP) occurs in approximately 10% to 15% of young athletes (d’Hemecourt, Gerbino and Micheli, 2000). Schmidt et al 2014 found that competitive adolescent athletes compared to aged matched individuals have increased prevalence of back pain
Injuries encountered to the lower back in young athletes occur from either an acute traumatic event or repetitive trauma (overuse injury) and are commonly seen in individuals participating in sports such as football, rugby, gymnastics, ice skating and dancing (Purcell and Micheli, 2009). Evidence has shown LBP occurs is as much as 27% of college football players and between 50% and 86% of gymnasts (Semon 1981; Kolt 1999). Overuse injury can be as a result of repeated flexion, extension and torsion which is performed frequently in gymnastics, ice skating and dancing (Purcell and Micheli, 2009).
