NEUROLOGIC, CARDIOVASCULAR AND MUSCULOSKELTAL INJURIES IN WEIGHTLIFTING

Bijay Kumar Bhagat, Samiran Mondal

Abstract :

 

BACKGROUND: Lifting a heavy weight during weightlifting exerts high level of stress on physical, physiological and psychological states of an athlete. This kind of stress can cause injuries if go beyond the tolerance level. The kinds of injuries which are associated with weightlifting are– Neurologic, Cardiovascular and Musculoskeletal injuries.

AIM: To identify and analysis of injuries related to Weightlifting through scientific databases.

METHODS: Searches were conducted on electronic databases: PubMed, Medline, Springer link, Elsevier, and Google Scholar. The searching keywords were: Brain and Weightlifting; Brain functions during Weightlifting; Brain injury due to Weightlifting; Brain damage through Weightlifting.

FINDINGS: Neurologic injuries include– Subarachnoid haemorrhage, Brainstem injury, Acute paraplegia, and Type IV arteriovenous malformation. Cardiovascular injuries related with the dissection of Aorta, Internal carotid artery, Coronary artery, Celiac artery, Verteal artery, and Craniocervical hyperpneumorrhachis. Muscle strain, muscle cramp, sprain, fracture, and dislocations are associated with musculoskeletal injuries.

CONCLUSIONS:  After reviewing the above scientific literature, it was identified that weightlifting events are prone to neurologic, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal injuries. The causes of injuries in Weightlifting might be faulty technique, overload, infrastructure, valsalva maneuver (respiratory straining), etc.
