... My Aching Back
Backpacks were first used by the military to carry weapons, food and other important accessories. Nowadays students use backpacks to carry books and other accessories to campus. ... Students need to be very careful when choosing their backpacks like how they wear their backpacks and what they are used for. ... I strongly believe that backpacks are a problem on campus.
New York city chiropractor John Vilkelis says that children carry backpacks that’s are 25-40 percent of their body weight. ...
I decided to take a survey of 10 girls and 10 boys of various majors at Fresno state campus to find out if backpacks are a problem on campus. From my survey I found out that overweight backpacks are the main cause of back pain. ... In addition to that 25 percent of the students carry laptops in their backpacks that make their backpacks more than 20% of their body weight. 20 % of the students stayed on campus and they experienced less back pain than students off campus.
This made me realize that students who stay off campus are more prone to back pains
Because off campus students generally go home after attending all the classes forcing them to carry their backpacks throughout the day.
