A Dutch cross-sectional study from 2009 investigated the U-shaped relationship between physical activity and low back pain. The study concluded that both extremes of physical activity- excess activity or insufficient activity associated with a high risk of LBP (fig x). An increased prevalence in LBP was also found in inactive participants with sedentary behavior.
