Prejuízos da lombalgia à qualidade de vida de praticantes de musculação.

Physical exercise is present in everyday life with several objectives: among them, the improvement of the quality of life. Despite providing health benefits, pathologies and symptoms can also affect this type of activity. These are triggered, most of the time, by inappropriate behavior during training, among others. We have the benefits of bodybuilding for the human body, but this constant practice also leads to an increase in the installation of musculoskeletal injuries and symptoms, such as low back pain. The objective of this study was to identify the damage caused by low back pain to the quality of life of bodybuilders. The proposed method was an exploratory quantitative study. Participants were approached in gyms in the city of Maringá, Paraná, Brazil, answering the Roland Morris and Short Form Health Survey questionnaires. The data showed an impairment of functional capacity and social aspects of individuals affected by low back pain and bodybuilders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
