Types And Frequency Of Injuries Among Elite And Competitive Bodybuilders And How To Stay Healthy.
HYPOTHESIS
Weightlifting sports such as bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, and Olympic lifting are characterized by heavy loads, repetitive motions, and relatively frequent high-intensity training sessions. Common chronic injuries include rotator cuff and kneecap tendinopathies as well as stress fractures to the vertebrae and upper extremities (that is, forearm splints). Nerve injuries are also common. Bodybuilding differs somewhat from powerlifting and Olympic lifting in that the weight loads are more moderate and the volume somewhat higher. This study attempted to determine the types and frequency of injuries among elite and competitive bodybuilders.
