Résumé

This study aimed to study low back pain in senior handball players in the city of Ouagadougou. One hundred and eighty (180) active handball players with an average age of 26 (±2.9) years, holders of federal licenses from the various handball clubs in the city of Ouagadougou took part in the study. The adapted Nordic questionnaire collected data on musculoskeletal disorders and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to measure the intensity of pain. The data were processed using JASP version 0.19 software. The statistical significance level p was set at 0.05.
The analysis of the results showed a prevalence of low back pain of 50% in handball players over the last twelve (12) months. These results indicate that these pains are very common during competition periods. A binary logistic regression established a significant relationship (P˂0.05) between occupied play positions and these pains. Lumbar problems are among the most important pathologies that can slow down the career of the Burkinabe handball player. There is a need to take these risks into account in future reflections on playing surfaces and the physical preparation of handball players.
