In the past, in the study of special sports quality of heavy antagonistic sports events, the study of strength quality training was emphasized. The transformation of athletes’ strength quality to special strength was highlighted, and the special exercises which tended to be consistent with the characteristics of wrestling events were added. However, in competition and training, athletes’ spine bears a heavy load. Long-term static contraction of lumbar muscles can lead to excessive local load and injury of lumbar muscles. In this paper, the test results of athletes’ joints are analyzed, and the waist protection scheme for athletes’ strength training is obtained. First of all, solve the problem of athletes’ action mode and improve athletes’ muscle endurance. All special sports quality evaluation can reach a good level. Then, enhance athletes’ explosive power. Thus, all special sports quality evaluations can reach an excellent level. It is concluded that the waist and back are the key parts to support their participation in various sports, maintain body balance, and realize power transmission. Through the study, it is found that there are significant differences in the muscle strength indexes of the maximum strength of the waist and back of athletes of different levels, which fully proves the characteristics of the maximum strength of the waist and back. Through the test, we can understand the flexion and extension strength, range, speed, force, and flexion and extension ratio of athletes’ joints and take timely optimization measures according to the test results to avoid sports injuries in training. It has a key guiding significance for the measurement, analysis, and evaluation of athletes’ joint muscle strength, as well as rehabilitation training after injury and prevention of reinjury.

Introduction: Numerous definitions of acute low back pain (aLBP) exist. The use of different definitions results in variability in reported prevalence or incidence, conflicting data regarding factors associated with the transition to chronic LBP (cLBP), and hampers comparability among studies.Objective: Here, we compare the impact of 3 aLBP definitions on the number of aLBP cases and participants' characteristics and explore the distribution of participants across definitions. Methods: A sample of 1264 participants from the Quebec Low Back Pain Study was included. Three definitions of aLBP were used:(1) not meeting the National Institutes of Health (NIH) cLBP definition ("nonchronic"), (2) pain beginning ,3 months ago ("acute"), and (3) pain beginning ,3 months with a preceding LBP-free period ("new episode"). Results: There were 847, 842, and 489 aLBP cases meeting the criteria for the 3 definitions, respectively. Participants included in the "nonchronic" had lower pain interference, greater physical function scores, and fewer participants reporting .5 years of pain than in the other definitions. Half the participants meeting the "acute" definition and one-third of participants meeting the "new episode" definition were also classified as cLBP based on the NIH definition. Conclusions: Our results highlight the importance of the definition used for aLBP. Different definitions influence the sample size and clinical profiles (group's characteristics). We recommended that cohort studies examining the transition from aLBP to cLBP ensure that the definitions selected are mutually exclusive (ie, participants included [aLBP] differ from the expected outcome [cLBP]).

Recently, low back pain (LBP) has been a major contributor to disability worldwide. Chronic LBP affects 80% of the population at some point. The incidence of LBP is on the rise, especially among the elderly, and it is more common in men than in women. The different aspects of one’s life, such as a history of mental illness, being overweight, smoking, not getting enough exercise, getting older, and leading a sedentary lifestyle, all increase the likelihood of developing LBP. According to research, there are a number of causes and contributing factors that add up to a hefty price tag for disabled people. Functional disability in chronic LBP can be caused in part by causes other than the disease itself, such as psychological and professional variables, and can put restrictions on one’s personal life, work life, and family life. According to a recent study, more than 80% of those with a functional disability were classified as having a moderate-to-severe impairment. Therefore, we have proposed this review to clarify the appropriate assessment and interventional modalities for LBP and reduce disability. The diagnosis of LBP may need physical examination as well as imaging procedures to rule out the possibility of other ailments, such as broken bones. There is more than one technique to treat the underlying causes of LBP. Interventions include several modalities, including medication, physical therapy, manual therapy, injections, and surgery. In terms of pain treatment, we could choose between over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and prescribed drugs. Back spasms can be treated with other medications that relax the muscles in the back. Physiotherapy can help an individual build up the core muscles that protect the spine. Physical therapy can help individuals to stay injury-free by doing more than just increasing the range of motion. Tense muscles can be relaxed, pain can be lessened, and posture and alignment can be enhanced through a series of sessions.
