In most sports when we perform we usually do flexion and extension movements, which, lateral tilt or rotation of the trunk of which is responsible for the spine occurs.
In some cases, especially in athletes, they can appear overuse injuries in the lumbar area.
To measure this damage that can cause the sport, it has developed the Classification of Balius, which takes into account various factors according to the movement of the column.
These are the type of vertebral movements behave and symmetrical or asymmetrical character, the greater or lesser intensity of these movements, as well as the intrinsic and inevitable need to reach and superadded phenomena or shock loading.
In addition, when the damage that may have been generated column for the sport, it is important to consider the biological age of the athlete is evaluated.
SORTING BALIUS
1. negative vertebral sports.
By malposition inevitable movements of flexion and extension, tilt and vertebral rotation and forced continuously at maximum intensity occur, which in some sports continuous or discontinuous loads are associated simultaneously.
Despite following proper technique, it is impossible to protect the spine and at the same time get a good athletic performance. It happens in sports: gymnastics male and female artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, judo, wrestling, javelin throws and weight, athletic jumps, swimming (butterfly)
2. vertebralmente negative potential sports.
Movements in the column should not be forced continuously and intrinsically in sports loads, if done properly, are not associated with a bad position or movement. In these sports, gymnastics good preparation specific and adequate technical help stabilize and thus protect the spine. But elite sport, stop being negative vertebralmente effective.
It is the example of weightlifting, some disciplines athletics, rowing, sailing, cycling, motorcycling, horseback riding, water polo, diving and trampoline lever, nautical and alpine skiing, rugby.
3. vertebralmente indifferent Sports
The movements of the spine are not necessarily forced, nor will load or crashes and only these can occur accidentally. We must bear in mind that many of these sports are asymmetric and before systematically contraindicate a sport like this, we need to study each case as a sport of those may even be favorable in a scoliotic deviation.
These sports are: racing, race walking, football, fencing, i Hoque, table tennis, pelota, golf, archery.
4. vertebralmente positive sports
Basketball, handball, volleyball, not gymnastics, swimming (except butterfly) are some of the sports that do not require an effort by the column but that do not involve carrying loads and also develop a simultaneous stretching component.
5. vertebralmente dangerous sports
They are those that can accidentally occur acute spinal injuries such as fractures with or without spinal cord injury. For example, mountain climbing, caving, parachuting, gliding, skiing, jumping and trampoline lever.
