TL;DR
The results indicated being aged 45 years or older, combined with high perceived physical exertion, was a risk indicator for low back symptoms, and a relationship between perceived physical power and psychological demands was observed.
Abstract
The results indicated being aged 45 years or older, combined with high perceived physical exertion, was a risk indicator for low back symptoms. A relationship between perceived physical exertion and psychological demands was observed, but there was no influence of physical capacity on perceived physical exertion.
