  1. Analyses were conducted on players who participated in medical check-ups held in 2017 and 2019 (players from 2017 to 2019, n=362; players with LBP, n=55; players without LBP, n=307). The models were adjusted for age, position, body mass index, total practice time per week, and tightness in the iliopsoas, hamstring, and quadriceps muscles on either side.
