    Summary

    Low back injuries pose a significant risk to athletes, often stemming from training methods like weightlifting. Early detection of spondylolysis is crucial for a complete assessment of sports-related low back pain.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Orthopedics
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Low back injuries are a prevalent concern for athletes, potentially causing long-term disability.
    • Training practices, especially weight training, are frequently implicated in the etiology of these injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the risks of low back injuries in sports.
    • To emphasize the need for awareness among training personnel regarding injury prevention.
    • To underscore the importance of excluding spondylolysis in the evaluation of athletic low back pain.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of injury cases in sportsmen and women.
    • Analysis of training methods contributing to low back injuries.
    • Inclusion of spondylolysis assessment in diagnostic protocols.

    Main Results:

    • Low back injuries present a serious hazard to athletes.
    • Weight training was identified as a common cause of these injuries.
    • Spondylolysis was diagnosed in 18% of the evaluated cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Athletes are at significant risk for low back injuries, impacting their sporting careers.
    • Increased awareness of training-related risks is essential for coaches and trainers.
    • Comprehensive evaluation of low back pain in athletes must include screening for spondylolysis.
