Avoiding Lumbar Spine Injury During Resistance Training Christopher J. Durall, DPT, SCS, LAT, CSCS University of Wisconsin–LaCrosse, LaCrosse,Wisconsin Robert C. Manske, CSCS, MPT, MEd, ATC, SCS Wichita State University,Wichita, Kansas Via Christi Sports and Orthopedic Physical Therapy,Wichita, Kansas © National Strength and Conditioning Association Volume 27,Number 4,pages 64–72 Keywords: lumbar spine; injury; resistance training L umbar spine injury is extremely pervasive and can be extraordinar- ily debilitating. It has been esti- mated that up to 80% of adults eventu- ally will develop some form of low back pain (12). In addition, it has been esti- mated that 10–15% of all sporting in- juries involve the spine (21, 35–37). The compressive, shear, tensile, and tor- sional 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 me- chanics of common lumbar spine in- juries during weight training and discuss strategies for injury prevention. Our in- tent is not to provide an exhaustive re- view 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 addi- summary In this manuscript, the injury risk to the lumbar spine during common resistance exercises is discussed. Al- ternative, theoretically less risky ex- ercises are presented. 64 August 2005 Strength and Conditioning Journal Figure 1. Anterior and posterior aspects of the lumbar spine.
