Results

There was no significant difference in the number of people with LBP between groups (GLEP: 5, Sham: 8; odds ratio = 0.486, 95% CI: 0.130 - 1.816, p = 0.279; Table 3). However, the number of LBP incidents was significantly lower in the GLEP group (GLEP: 16 incidents, Sham: 100 incidents; odds ratio = 0.157, 95% CI: 0.092 - 0.266, p < 0.001; Table 3). This corresponds to a reduction of about 84% in the number of LBP incidents in the GLEP group.

Baseline Characteristics

Participants were recruited between August 2023 and March 2024. To ensure impartiality and account for variations in competition levels, we recruited the top performing high schools from two prefectures, resulting in a total of 3 schools participating.

Participant flow

Research documents were sent to the school principal and club activity advisor. Upon obtaining consent from the school principal and the club advisor, a study briefing was conducted for the participants. All participants provided written consent, and their rights were protected. Inclusion criteria were males and females who were on high school golf clubs and at least 5 rounds of golf experience.

Adverse events

Not applicable.

Outcome measures

A chi-square test was employed to compare the number of people with LBP between the two groups. Poisson regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between the number of LBP incidents, trunk movement direction provoking LBP, and the swing phase associated with LBP.
