Sažetak
The effect of Recreational Sport (RS) used as an adjunct to standard balneotherapeutic treatment was studied in 159 patients with back pain. The RS programme led to a significant improvement of the patients’ level of physical fitness without aggravating their back pain. These results suggest that RS has a therapeutic value. Therefore it should be made an integral part of rehabilitation programmes for patients suffering from back pain. All the study participants showed a positive altitude to RS. This indicates that RS has a motivational value for physical exercise, which should be exploited also after the end of rehabilitation treatment in spas under the supervision of sports experts and medical doctors.
