Abstract

    Physical education is a comprehensive approach that involves educating physical activity to improve social, cognitive as well physical skills via bodily movements. Physical education teachers undergo higher levels of occupational physical activities and repetitive movements and are more prone to develop sports injuries and WMSDs. The aim of the study is to identify the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among physical education teachers in Hyderabad. This study is a cross-sectional observational survey. 100 participants were recruited from different institutes in Hyderabad. Data was collected from the Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire and data was analysed by SPSS software version 21.0. The results show that the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among physical educators is in highest lower back pain (42%),followed by shoulder (36%) and neck (28%). This study concludes occupational musculoskeletal disorders are highly prevalent among physical education teachers in Hyderabad. Low back pain and shoulder discomfort has been more commonly reported.
