Abstract

The current study intended to determine recreational runners' knowledge, attitude, and practices toward CSE to prevent LBP. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study design was adopted. Two hundred fifty-seven recreational runners were chosen using a simple random sampling approach and administered with a semi-structured questionnaire to evaluate their KAP toward CSE. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS 28.0. Results: The correct response to the knowledge-related items in the questionnaire was from 65% to 91%. Precisely, 91.4% of study participants understood CSE. Furthermore, most participants showed a positive attitude toward CSE, considering that it is essential for running (79%), improving fitness (76%), reducing the risk of injuries (71%), and boosting their appearance (54%). Most participants (>85%) performed CSE for recommended frequency and duration to strengthen their core muscles and prevent LBP. The recreational runners had good practice toward CSE. Conclusion: Recreational runners possess adequate knowledge, a positive attitude, and good practice toward CSE. This study suggested that motivational strategies and awareness programs can be conducted to improve recreational runners' KAP toward CSE preventing LBP.

休闲跑步者对核心稳定性训练预防腰痛的知识、态度和实践:一项横断面研究

本研究旨在确定休闲跑步者对CSE预防腰痛的知识、态度和实践。材料与方法:采用横断面研究设计。采用简单随机抽样的方法，对257名休闲跑步者进行半结构化问卷调查，评估其对CSE的认知能力。数据分析采用SPSS 28.0软件。结果:问卷中与知识相关的题目正确率为65% ~ 91%。确切地说，91.4%的研究参与者理解CSE。此外，大多数参与者对CSE表现出积极的态度，认为它对跑步(79%)，改善健康(76%)，减少受伤风险(71%)和改善外观(54%)是必不可少的。大多数参与者(>85%)按照推荐的频率和持续时间进行CSE，以加强他们的核心肌肉并预防腰痛。休闲跑者对CSE有良好的练习。结论:休闲跑者对CSE有足够的知识、积极的态度和良好的实践。本研究提示，动机策略和意识项目可以提高休闲跑步者对CSE预防LBP的KAP。
