AbstractIn the sport of golf, there is no standard teaching method or swing technique even though golf is known for overuse injuries. This prospective study was to analyze classic swing kinematics in comparison with the Free-Release® method and to define a physiological golf swing. Two hundred eighty-three players, age 50–59 years, were included in the study. For both swing techniques, examination addressed swing visualization, center of pressure (COP), center of mass (COM), as well as pelvic movement in relationship to different standing widths. The position of the spine was evaluated in the frontal and lateral planes. Using the classic technique, no golfer was able to describe his swing parameters, which would be necessary for visualization and to tolerate physiological range of movement, whereas players using the Free-Release method® were able to provide such a description. COP and COM showed pathological swing mechanics for the classic technique, whereas for the Free-Release method mechanics were physiological. We conclude that to prevent lumbar spine injury, the classic swinging technique, which is characterized by lateral shear forces, static and dynamic pelvic side bending while rotating with high force against the spine, and an unbalanced COM and COP, should be substituted by the Free-Release technique as a new physiological guideline.

Pediatric spine fractures constitute 1%–3% of all pediatric fractures. Anywhere from 20% to 60% of these fractures occur in the thoracic or lumbar spine, with the lumbar region being more affected in older children. Younger children tend to have a higher proportion of cervical injuries. The pediatric spine differs in many ways from the adult spine, which can lead to increased ligamentous injuries without bone fractures. The authors discuss and review pediatric lumbar trauma, specifically focusing on epidemiology, radiographic findings, types and mechanisms of lumbar spine injury, treatment, and outcomes.

Chinese women's weightlifting project has been in the advanced world level, suggesting that the Chinese coaches and athletes have many successful experiences in the weight lifting training. Little weight lifting belongs to high-risk sports, often leading to the lumbar spine injury; some young good athletes, often due to lumbar trauma, had to retire, and the national investment and athletes toil is regret things. This article, based on weightlifting athletes training situation analysis, presents suggestions from the perspective of sports medicine, aimed at avoiding lumbar injury, guaranteeing the health of athletes. In this paper, first of all, 50 professional women's weightlifting athletes were investigated, and it was found that 82% of the athletes suffered from lumbar disease symptoms. The reason was mainly lumbar strain of high intensity and motion error caused by three factors. On the basis of sports medicine and the characteristics of the structure of human body skeleton athletes lumbar structural mechanics analysis, find out the lumbar force's two biggest technical movement, study, and regulate the action standard, so as to minimize lumbar force, for athletes to contribute to the health of the lumbar spine.
