Abstract
Low back injuries are shown to present a serious hazard to sportsmen and women, and may lead to long-term disability in relation to their sport. Training methods, particularly weight training, led to many of the injuries and it is recommended that personnel involved in training become more aware of these dangers. Spondylolysis was found in 18% of cases and it is suggested that the full investigation of low back pain in a sportsman is incomplete until this lesion has been excluded.Keywords
