Abstract in brief

  • The study examined injuries and pain experienced during routine powerlifting training, finding a rate of 0.3 injuries per lifter per year, with most injuries occurring in the shoulder, lower back, and knee.
  • Use of weight belts was associated with increased lumbar spine injuries, and injuries to upper extremities were more common in lifters over 40 years of age and in females.
  • Most injuries did not require stopping training, and the overall injury rate in powerlifting was lower compared to other sports, with intrinsic and extrinsic factors having little impact on injury frequency.

@AlmightyMirdon @StrengthEwa You kinda did, I'm just using an analogy to demonstrate why your argument doesn't work, and what's its direct implication. Check put the rates of lower back injuries among the strength athletes, they are cca 40% or more - and that's how you get them. https://t.co/1DGJmngdaz
