Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, Anxiety, and Pain Among Musicians in the United Kingdom.

ABSTRACT:

Context and aims

Although some exercise-based interventions have been associated with lower levels of pain and performance-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) among musicians, the evidence is still mixed. Furthermore, little is known about musicians' general engagement in physical activity (PA), their knowledge of PA guidelines, or the relevant training they receive on pain prevention and the sources of such training. Similarly, little is known about the relationship between PA and PRMDs and other risk factors for PRMDs.

Methods

Following a cross-sectional correlational study design, both standardized and ad hoc measurements were used to investigate self-reported PA [International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF)], knowledge of PA guideline
