Prevention and Correction of Handball Players' Lumbar Spine Injuries

Abstract

In performance sport, where the human limits are permanently forced, medical problems appear more often and at a higher intensity and gravity. A real problem in performance sport is interrupting sports activity for medical reasons. The most common diseases in sports games, in general and particularly in handball, are those of the lumbar spine, which have different causes. The research was done using the male players in the handball team Sports Club (CS) University Suceava, the National League, who had symptoms and pathologic signs of vertebral column which imbalanced the normal sporting activity. By using a system of stretching exercises applied in a differentiated manner, we achieved the effect of reducing lumbar pain.
