Background:
It is possible that physical inactivity and prolonged sitting could lead to changes in muscle properties or bony limitations which may reduce passive hip extension. Objectives: This study explored the association between passive hip extension and sitting/physical activity patterns. Design: Cross sectional study. Method: The modified Thomas Test is a clinical test used to characterise hip flexion contracture. This test was used to measure passive hip extension across 144 individuals. In addition, sitting behaviours and physical activity patterns were quantified using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Cut off points were defined for low/high physical activity (150 min per week), prolonged sitting (>7 h per day) and minimal sitting ( Results: A total of 98 participants were allocated to one of the three groups which were shown to differ significantly in passive hip extension (P Conclusion: This study is the first to demonstrate an association between passive hip extension and prolonged sitting/physical inactivity. It is possible that these findings indicate a physiological adaptation in passive muscle stiffness. Further research is required to understand whether such adaptation may play a role in the aetiology of musculoskeletal pain linked to prolonged sitting. |
