Abstract

Background  Nowadays there is an increased prevalence of adolescent athletes suffer from LBP. Early effective treatment can improve athletes' performance and delay their careers. Obiectives To identify the effective treatment for adolescent athletes with LBP. Methods Electronic searching on database from inception to January 2024 was used to retrieve articles. The assessment for quality used McMaster Critical Review Form for Quantitative Studies. Findings Only 4 articles met the inclusion criteria. Implications This study provides different treatments form LBP in adolescent athletes. However, which type of treatment is more effective needs further research.
