通过该项目获得了以下结果：1)明确了心理因素与腰痛的关系。具体而言，具有消极心理状态的人倾向于发生下背痛。因此，缓解和预防LBP应采用心理学方法。2)本研究提出的相扑运动对缓解和预防LBP有效。然而，研究也表明，要长时间保持这种高强度的运动是很困难的。因此，未来的研究应该探讨如何使相扑运动成为LBP患者日常生活的一部分。

The following results were obtained through the project.1) Relationships between lower back pain (LBP) and psychological factors were clarified. Specifically, persons with negative psychological conditions tended to have LBP. Therefore psychological approaches should be adopted for alleviating and preventing LBP.2) The Sumo exercises proposed in the study were effective for alleviating and preventing LBP. However, it was also shown that to keep up such kinds of intense exercises over a long period of time was difficult. Therefore, future research should examine how to make Sumo exercises a part of LBP suffers’ daily routines.
