Motor performance and back pain in children and adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between motor performance and back pain in children and adolescents remains unclear. This article describes the protocol for a systematic review to summarize the knowledge about the association between motor performance, such as agility, flexibility, balance, strength, muscle endurance, and cardiorespiratory fitness, and back pain.
