Abstract

Bisiklete binme tüm dünyada popüler hale gelmiş olan egzersizlerden biridir. Bu çalışmada profesyonel bir destek almayan amatör bisikletçilerde boyun ağrısı için risk faktörlerini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Bisiklet gruplarının internet üzerindeki sosyal ağlarında bireylerin demografik özelliklerini, bisiklet kullanım özelliklerini, bisiklete binme alışkanlıklarını, Bournemouth Boyun Anketini (BBA), dinlenme ve bisiklet kullanımı esnasındaki boyun ağrısı şiddetini sorgulayan yapılandırılmış bir anket paylaşıldı. Veriler toplandı ve analiz edildi. Yirmi yedi (%25,7) kişi kriterleri karşılamaması nedeni ile çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Yetmiş sekiz bisiklet kullanıcısının analiz sonuçlarında, haftada 10 saatten fazla bisiklet süren bireylerin ortalama BBA değerinin 1-5 ve 5-10 saat bisiklet süren bisikletçilere gore anlamlı derecede düşük olduğu gözlendi (p<0,001). Multivariate lojistik regresyon analizinde ise dağ bisikleti kullanımının (OR=0,147; p=0,033) ve 10-20 saat arasında (OR=0,022; p=0,005) bisiklet kullanım süresinin boyun ağrısı açısından en düşük riske sahip olduğu tespit edildi. Kişiye özel bisiklet ayarlamalarının (bike-fit) boyun ağrısına etkisinin olmadığı gözlemlendi (p=0,5). Çalışmamızın sonuçlarına gore amatör bisikletçilerde boyun ağrısını önlemek için haftalık kullanım süresinin 10-20 saat arasında tutularak düzensiz, az veya aşırı kullanımdan kaçınması ve boyun ağrısı olan bireylerin dağ bisikletine yönelmesi önerilebilir.

EVALUATION OF FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE NECK PAIN IN AMATEUR CYCLISTS: PARAMETERS TO BE QUESTIONED

Abstract

Cycling is one of the exercises that has become popular all over the world. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the risk factors for neck pain in amateur cyclists who did not receive professional support. A structured questionnaire including demographic and cycling characteristics, cycling habits, Bournemouth Neck Questionnaire (BNQ), visual analogue scales measuring neck pain severity during rest and cycling was shared on the social networks of cycling groups. Data were collected and analyzed. Twenty-seven (25,7%) people were excluded from the study because they did not meet the criteria. In the analysis of 78 cyclists, it was observed that the mean BNQ value in individuals who cycled for more than 10 hours a week was significantly lower than those who cycled for 1-5 and 5-10 hours (p<0,001). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, it was determined that mountain bike use (OR=0,147; p=0,033) and cycling between 10-20 hours (OR=0,022; p=0,005) had the lowest risk in terms of neck pain. It was observed that personalized cycling adjustments (bike-fit) had no effect on neck pain (p=0,5). According to the results of our study, in order to prevent neck pain in amateur cyclists, it may be recommended to keep the weekly usage time between 10-20 hours, to avoid irregular, under- or excessive use, and to turn to mountain bikes for individuals with neck pain.
