Abstract
Due to the high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among different strata of society and its high economic and social cost and the importance of prevention and control of these disorders, this study aims to evaluate musculoskeletal disorders among students and identify the relationship between these disorders and their physical fitness factors
In this study, 143 persons were randomly selected from 269 students of an elementary school by using Morgan's table and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was determined with the Nordic questionnaire. Plank, stork balance, sit and reach, and 4 x 9 m shuttle run tests were taken from students and their body mass index was determined. spss23 software and Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney tests with a confidence level of 95% were used for statistical analysis.
Findings: The highest amount of damage was observed in the shoulder (59%), neck (56%) and waist (28%) areas. The body mass index factor was significantly higher in people with neck injuries than in people without injuries. The average regular physical activity in both groups with injury and without injury was less than half an hour during the week, so no significant difference was observed between the results of physical fitness tests between the two groups.
Conclusion: In this study, like other studies, the neck, shoulder, and back areas were introduced as vulnerable areas in students. According to the effect of the body mass index on the musculoskeletal disorders of students in this study and other studies, it is possible to introduce the body mass index as one of the risk factors of these disorders in students. Given that the musculoskeletal disorders are multi-caused, by conducting further studies and identify the risk factors of these disorders can prevent and eliminate these disorders among students and improve the health of the future builders of the country.
