The aim of this thesis was to determine whether there is an association between the occurrence of low back pain and hand grip strength, as well as whether there is an association between pain intensity and hand grip strength in kinesiology students. Also, it was investigated whether there is a general difference in the relationship between the occurrence of low back pain and the strength of the hand grip, but also the relationship between the intensity of the pain and the strength of the hand grip. Furthermore, the difference between the grip strength of the dominant and non-dominant hand was determined. The sample of respondents consisted of 95 students of the Faculty of Kinesiology in Osijek. A survey was conducted for research purposes and hand grip strength was measured using dynamometer. The data were processed using the statistical package Statistics 25.0 and MS Excel 2007. Differences by gender of respondents were calculated using the Mann Whitney U test. Fisher's exact test was used to compare subjects with regard to whether they had lower back pain in the last 12 or 3 months for the entire sample. Differences between left- and right-hand grip values, i.e., dominant and nondominant hand, were calculated using the Sum of Ranks Test (Wilcoxon's W-test). Spearman's correlation coefficient (ρ) was calculated to test the relationship between the intensity of lower back pain and hand grip strength. A significance level of significance of α < 0.05 was applied. The results showed that there is no association between low back pain and hand grip strength in examined population.
