Pain during training | Training of the lower back muscles

Pain during training

Unfortunately, sport cannot always help to relieve lower back pain. In certain cases it is even the trigger for back pain in the lumbar region. In this case, it is not too weak back muscles that are responsible for the pain, but another trigger.

Above all, the choice of sport can be decisive here. Some sports are associated with incorrect posture and can also lead to back pain. Golf, for example, is a sport that places unequal strain on the back.

When hitting the ball, the upper body is tilted forward and less twisted in one direction (backswing) than in the other. This uneven load with integrated twisting of the spine can lead to serious back pain in the long run, even though the back is well trained. Field and indoor field hockey have a similar problem.

Due to the constantly stooping posture when running and playing, the back is permanently strained. Added to this are twisting movements when shooting and passing. Here too, despite well-trained muscles, back pain can occur in the lower area.

Other sports that can lead to back pain after exercise are basketball, squash, badminton and handball. These sports involve many jerky movements and the many jumping and running on sometimes hard surfaces can damage the intervertebral discs in the long run. But not only the choice of sport can lead to back pain after the sport. When you start a sport, you should always inform yourself about the correct execution and especially at the beginning you should always be instructed by an expert or experienced athlete.
