Table 2: Other sports injuries. running, gymnastics, and skiing) and weight loading (e.g., weightlifting) affect the LB. Rotation of the torso (e.g., golf, and tennis) causes damage to both, the lumbar and thoracic spine. The cervical spine is most commonly injured in contact sports (e.g., boxing, and football). Closely related to sports and injuries is pain in the various joints, but also in the spine. Spinal pain affects 54-90% of the general population [74]. Statistics show that 8 out of 10 people suffer from back pain [75], with the most common area of pain occurrence being the lower spine [75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81]. All musculoskeletal disorders considered, low back pain (LBP) is a very common health problem worldwide and a major cause of disability--affecting performance at work and general well-being (WHO) [82]. Globally, the prevalence of LBP in the general population reached 7346 cases per 100,000 of the population in 2019. This compares to Slovakia's rate of 12,855 cases per 100,000 inhabitants [83]. Regarding the general population, the prevalence and epidemiology of low back pain is well explored [81]. Differences between people with and without LBP suggest that those with LBP are more likely to perform hip and trunk rotations [84]. Several authors concur that back pain and sports are mutually associated [85, 86, 87, 88, 89]. Different studies report on degrees of correlation between physical activity and \"spinal health\" [83, 89, 90, 91]. They also point to the phenomenon that a high level of physical load helps to prevent certain injuries, but on the other hand, it also incurs increased load on the spine and thus a possible incidence of injuries accompanied by pain. The prevailing view is that adequate sporting load has a positive effect on spinal health; however, there is a lack of adequate information on the optimal dose-effect relationship. Of particular importance in this context is whether elite athletes are exposed to a higher risk of developing spinal pain compared to physically moderately active individuals.
