Bodybuilding Exercise - Abdominal Exercise

They are hailed as the most commonly used abs exercises in the gym today.

Spondylolysis
A stress fracture (type of back injury), nominally spondylolysis in medicine, is the most common injury of the lower back in sport and bodybuilding.

There are two variations of this back injury, namely the bone stress reaction or a stress fracture of the lower back.

This back injury is especially common in growing adolescents, as this condition is associated at the time of rapid 'growth spurt'.

Forces generated by sporting movements that involve large muscle forces are transmitted via the bones of the spine.

Bone fatigue occurs as a loss of bone strength and stiffness due to repeated loading, which always happens in strenuous activities.

Though repeated loading is of less force than it would take to produce a traumatic fracture, it eventually causes bone damage over time.

If the damage is excessive and the remodeling cannot keep pace with the damage, then spondylolysis sets in.

This usually starts with back injury exercises to augment to the muscular stability in the lower back.

Research has shown that specific back injury exercises may be effective in relieving damage.

Slipped DiscsThe lumbar spine is most vulnerable to slipped discs.

If there is repeated overuse, the gel-like nucleus material can prolapse out of the disc.

Pain-relieving medication is usually complementary for a prolapsed disc.
