Active Kids and Teens Are Less Likely to Have Backaches.
Using data from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children study, researchers report that youths who engage in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity at least once a week have about an 11% lower likelihood of frequent backache compared with their inactive peers, and those who are physically active at least five times per week have about a 19% lower risk of frequent backache.
