| Abstract | L umbar spine injury is extremely pervasive and can be extraordinarily debilitating. It has been estimated that up to 80% of adults eventually will develop some form of low back pain (12). In addition, it has been estimated that 10–15% of all sporting injuries involve the spine (21, 35–37). The compressive, shear, tensile, and torsional forces on the lumbar spine during resistance training may be sufficient to cause injury, especially if these forces are concentrated by virtue of the exerciser’s mechanics. In this article we will review briefly the anatomy and pathologic mechanics of common lumbar spine injuries during weight training and discuss strategies for injury prevention. Our intent is not to provide an exhaustive review of lumbar spine pathologies, nor is it to enable strength and conditioning professionals to diagnose and to treat lumbar spine injuries. Instead, we hope to raise awareness of common resistance exercises that putatively are more likely to cause lumbar spine injury. In addis u m m a r y |
