description Adolescence is a period marked by intense physical, psychological, behavioral and social changes; the pandemic provided a framework of uncertainty, transforming the daily life of adolescents. Back pain associated with pubertal development is common at this age. The objective of this study was to describe the presence of back pain in students, its relationship with body changes, physical activity (PA) and expectations regarding academic performance in 2020. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between June and July 2020 with first and second year high school students from educational centers in the city of Córdoba. A digital questionnaire was administered that included questions about changes in body size (height), expected school performance, physical activity, and presence of back pain. Statistical analysis compared percentages with chi2 or Fisher's test, but the sample is insufficient to corroborate hypotheses. The study involved 36 adolescents between 12 and 15 years old, 53.7% women and 46.3% men. Back pain was reported by 38.7% adolescents, (38.5% of women and 17.3% of men). The students whose changed sizes (36.4%) reported back pain compared to none of those who had not yet had changes made or those who had already finished their changes (p = 0.448). Back pain reached 33.3% of those who performed PA during the pandemic compared to 50.0% of those who did not perform PA. All students who said they would do poorly or regularly in school by the end of 2020 reported back pain, compared to 28.6% of those who thought they would do well and 20% of those who thought they would do very well (p=0.039). The presence of back pain in the study population was associated with physical aspects such as bodily changes and PA, and emotional aspects, such as expectations regarding school performance, which could be influenced by the uncertainty produced by the alteration of school activity.

La adolescencia es un período marcado por intensos cambios físicos, psicológicos, conductuales y sociales, donde la pandemia aportó un marco de incertidumbre, transformando la cotidianeidad de los adolescentes. El dolor de espalda asociado al desarrollo puberal es frecuente en esta edad. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir la presencia de dolor de espalda en estudiantes, su relación con cambios corporales, actividad física (AF) y expectativa en relación al desempeño académico en el 2020. Se realizó un estudio transversal descriptivo entre junio y julio de 2020 con escolares de primer y segundo año de secundario en centros educativos de la ciudad de Córdoba. Se administró un cuestionario digital que incluyó preguntas sobre cambios corporales de la talla (estirón), expectativa de desempeño escolar, AF y presencia de dolor de espalda. El análisis estadístico comparó porcentajes con pruebas de chi2 o de Fisher, pero la muestra es insuficiente para corroborar hipótesis. Participaron 36 adolescentes de entre 12 y 15 años, 53,7% mujeres y 46,3% varones. El 38,7% manifestó sentir dolor de espalda (el 38,5% de las mujeres y el 17,3% de los varones). El 36,4% de los estudiantes cuya talla estaba cambiando manifestaron dolor de espalda vs ninguno de los que aún no habían sufrido cambios o cuyos cambios ya se habían completado (p=0,448). El dolor de espalda alcanzó al 33,3% de quienes realizaron AF durante la pandemia versus el 50,0% de quienes no realizaron AF. El 100% de los estudiantes que expresaron que al final del año 2020 les iría regular o mal en el colegio manifestaron sufrir dolor de espalda, en comparación con el 28,6% de quienes pensaban que les iría bien y el 20%  de quienes pensaban que le iría muy bien (p=0,039). La presencia de dolor de espalda en la población estudiada se vio asociada a aspectos físicos como cambios corporales y AF, y emocionales, como la expectativa en relación al desempeño escolar, que pudo estar influido por la incertidumbre producida por la alteración de la actividad escolar.
