Abstract:
Background-Weightlifting is a popular sport among adolescents and young adults, promoting muscular development and a healthy lifestyle. However, improper technique can lead to musculoskeletal and neurological injuries, with low back pain (LBP) being a common complaint. This study aims to determine the prevalence of altered postural alignment among recreational weightlifters with LBP Methods Recreational weightlifters reporting LBP underwent numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) evaluation and functional movement screen (FMS) assessment. Data on age, lifting experience, and lumbar belt usage were recorded. Participants with congenital/systemic illness or postoperative conditions were excluded. Result In a study involving 81 recreational weightlifters with low back pain, 33% (27 participants) exhibited altered postural alignment, while 67% (54 participants) had normal scores on the Functional Movement Screen (FMS). Most participants (64) were aged between 18 and 24 years, with a mean age of 22.63 (±3.36) years. Interestingly, a higher prevalence of postural alterations was observed in participants aged 25 and above, with 64.70% of those aged 25 to 30 exhibiting decreased FMS scores (17 participants, mean age 27.5, SD 1.87). Conclusion This study underscores the susceptibility of recreational weightlifters with low back pain (LBP) to postural alterations, indicating a heightened risk of injury. LBP, with or without postural deviations, adversely affects individuals' quality of life and sports performance. It stresses the necessity for spine surgeons, physiotherapists, and physical trainers to promote awareness regarding biomechanical principles, proper weightlifting techniques, and execution to prevent future physical injuries.
