The importance of isometrics and technique specificity in preventing back injuries
Most back injuries are caused by repetitive strain and repetitive trauma from doing the same movements over and over again. Training with isometrics can help accumulate strength and improve muscle length and relationships. However, it is important to consider technique and sport-specific movements. For example, highly deviated spine positions combined with high strength put stress concentration on the discs and can lead to injury. Sports like jujitsu require spine stability, but excessive force on a highly deviated spine can be dangerous. It is crucial to find the right balance between motion and load and to understand the stress concentration on the spine to prevent injuries.
