Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; CLPP, chronic lumbo-pelvic pain; IPAQ, International Physical Activity Questionnaire; METs, metabolic equivalent index per week; NS, no significant; RDMQ, Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire. * Mean ± standard deviation and range (min–max) as well as Student´s t-test for independent samples were used according to parametric distributions (Shapiro–Wilk test showing a p-value ≥ 0.05). † Median ± interquartile range and range (min–max) as well as Mann–Whitney U test were applied according to non-parametric distributions (Shapiro–Wilk test showing a p-value < 0.05). For all analyses, p < 0.05 (for a confidence interval of 95%) was considered as statistically significant.
