Abstract: Objective: In this paper, the data of low back pain of short track speed skaters were analyzed, and the pathogenesis, influencing factors and treatment measures of chronic low back pain (CLBP) in short track speed skaters were mainly discussed, so as to provide reference for effective prevention and precise treatment of CLBP in short track speed skaters. Methods: Athletes who were stable participants on the National Short Track Speed Skating Team for training and competitions during the 2018-2019 season were taken into the screening scope, and the research subjects who met the inclusion criteria were divided into CLBP group and non-chronic low back pain group (NCLBP). Isometric muscle strength test, trunk muscle mass test, functional movement screen (FMS) and visual analogue scoring test (VAS) were performed on both groups of athletes. The above test evaluation was performed again after 6 weeks of comprehensive treatment in the CLBP group, and relevant observation indexes were compared and analyzed. Results :(1) there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the peak torques of trunk muscle flexion and extension, while the ratio of peak torques of trunk muscle flexion and extension (F/E) was statistically significant (P<0.05).The proportions of trunk muscle mass of the two groups of athletes were close to full marks, and there was no statistically significant difference in the proportions of trunk muscle mass and muscle mass.(2) After 6 weeks of systematic treatment, the F/E ratio of CLBP group increased significantly, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).Compared with NCLBP group, the difference was not statistically significant.The proportion of trunk muscle mass and muscle mass increased slightly, but there was no statistical difference between the two groups.(2) The FMS test results of the two groups were compared, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).After 6 weeks of rehabilitation training, the FMS test results of the CLBP group were significantly improved compared with those before rehabilitation training, and the difference was not statistically significant compared with the NCLBP group.(3) CLBP groups before treatment, after the FMS test compared with the VAS score, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion:(1) The main factors that lead to CLBP of short track speed skaters are the imbalance of extensor and flexor muscle group of trunk cadres and the decline of core stability. (2) Traditional Chinese medicine combined with conventional treatment and core stability rehabilitation training is an effective comprehensive treatment method for elite athletes in short track speed skating.
