Abstract
The present study examines the impact among several factors and the Lower Back Pain (LBP) in 131 women, participating in municipal physical activity programs who declared LBP. The purpose was to investigate the effect of municipal sports programs in female’s participants LBP intensity. Data from 131 LBP sufferer women collected in the beginning and after a six months period. Municipal physical activity programs did not affect negatively LBP. Specific features participants (mothers) present greater risk in future to appear LBP. Municipal physical activity programs reduce the felling of LBP in women without children.
