Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of self-reported low back pain (LBP) and
neck and shoulder pain (NSP), and the related factors in members and non-members of adolescents’ sports clubs.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on surveys of 14–16-year-olds as a part of the Finnish Health Promoting
Sports Club (FHPSC) Study. The surveys on self-reported health behaviours, injuries, and musculoskeletal health were
conducted among sports club members (n = 962) and non-members (n = 675). Binary logistic regression analysis was
applied to study the associations between dependent variables of LBP and NSP, and the independent factors.
Results: The prevalence of LBP during the preceding 3 months was 35.0 % in girls and 24.5 % in boys (p < 0.05 for sex
difference). The prevalence of NSP was 55.9 % in girls and 27.3 % in boys (p < 0.001 for sex difference). Being a sports
club member increased the odds for LBP in boys (odds ratio [OR] 2.35, 95 % CI 1.48–3.72). On the other hand, sports
club participation was associated with lower odds of frequent NSP in girls (OR 0.52, 95 % CI 0.33–0.82). No associations
were found between other leisure-time physical activity and LBP or NSP. Higher screen time (computer games, TV/DVD,
phone, Internet) during leisure-time increased the odds of NSP in boys and LBP in boys and girls.
Conclusions: In this study, self-reported LBP and NSP were already relatively common among adolescents. Girls have a
higher risk for reporting LBP and NSP. Measures that are more effective in the prevention of LBP in male sports club
members are needed. Excessive screen time is weakly associated with LBP and NSP, which should be taken into
account in health promotion among adolescents.
