Abstract

Study aim: To determine the difference in joint angles of the shoulder, hip, and trunk (angle of the upper torso and lower torso) during vaulting between male pole vaulters with and without chronic low back pain (LBP) and to examine the relationship between the range of motion (ROM) and maximum angle of the same joint during vaulting in all participants.
