Abstract

This research article presents the results of his study, reflecting the results obtained on the causes and localization of pain syndrome in various parts of the spinal column, as well as pathological changes in these parts of the spinal column, in female athletes professionally engaged in weightlifting with the lifting of a significant volume of weights. Based on the analysis and generalization of literary sources, as well as the results of the pedagogical experiment and the conducted clinical study, the article provides data on the causes, prevalence and manifestations of back pain when practicing female athletic sports, and also analyses the results. Analysis of the causes of pathological changes in different parts of the spine, including at the level of the PDS, back pain of different localizations, in all athletes of both age groups, ambiguously indicates that the dominant causes of back pain are injuries/microtraumas of the muscular, ligamentous and articular apparatus of the back and different parts of the spine suffered earlier, during training and performances, as a result of failure to observe adequacy during the warm-up and performance of physical weight loads by athletes, with insufficient control over them, the coaching team, including the sports doctor. We believe that the pathological changes we have identified, both in the muscular system and in various parts of the spine and its structures, are caused by physical activity that is inadequate in strength, frequency and volume, which is a direct consequence of micro- and macro-trauma, hypoxia, disruption of homeostasis in the affected areas of the spine, in the PVMS of various localizations, joints and muscular system of female athletes.
