Purpose Physical activity (PA) is a well-known, simple and effective preventive therapeutic intervention for low back pain (LBP). In spite of the growing interest in active lifestyles its benefits, more needs to be known about relationship between energy expenditure, body mass lumbar-pelvic kinematics during forward bending movement group young asymptomatic people who met PA guidelines. Young can identified as future risk civilisation diseases lumbar-hip considered predictor LBP occurrence. The aim this study was identify association sex, self-reported index, people. Methods Sixty-four students at pre-employment stage participated study. They declared moderate-to-high activity-induced expenditure (AEE) self-reported. Kinematic data lumbar spine, pelvis, hip were collected using 3D motion capture system. Results Sex found associated with pelvis (β=-0.38 p=0.002) mobility (β=0.49, p<0.001) BMI related only (β=-0.41, p=0.001). Recreation AEE significantly predicted flexion (β =0.38, p=0.002). Conclusions This showed that among sample physically people, BMI, AEE, sex partially predict trunk flexion. Recreational regarded improving thus making less prone injury.
