This cross-sectional online survey assessed 3-month work-related MSP in body regions, fatigue using a modified Fatigue Assessment Scale, and dietary habits using a structured food-frequency questionnaire.

MSP was highly prevalent, particularly in the lower back (83%), wrists\/fingers (80%), and neck (67%). Fatigue (OR\u2009=\u20093.1, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.34\u20137.45) and several suboptimal dietary habits (e.g., irregular meal timing, inadequate intake, fast eating, unbalanced diet, replacing meals with snacks, emotional eating) were significantly associated with MSP. Exploratory mediation analyses indicated statistically significant indirect associations via inadequate intake, replacing meals with snacks, and emotional eating, suggesting these behaviours may partially account for the fatigue\u2013MSP association.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Athletic professionals experience a high burden of MSP, fatigue, and suboptimal dietary habits that may be interrelated in ways that exacerbate work-related health.
