Prevalence of Injuries in Junior Conventional Powerlifters in Maharashtra Population

Abstract Background: Powerlifting is a widely practiced sport known for its focus on increasing muscular strength and endurance through exercises like the deadlift. Understanding the prevalence and characteristics of injuries among powerlifters, particularly in the context of the conventional deadlift style, is essential for injury prevention and athlete well-being. Study Design: This study utilized a survey-based approach to assess the injuries and experienced by powerlifters in the Maharashtra population. A sample of 150 junior conventional deadlift powerlifters, aged 18 to 24, was selected through convenient sampling. Data were collected using a Nordic scale questionnaire, focusing on injury locations, severity, and impact on training. Methods: Participants were screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and informed consent was obtained before data collection. Demographic details were recorded, and participants responded to the questionnaire regarding their injury experiences over the past 12 months. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were conducted to analyse the data. Results: in a study involving 150 individuals, about a third reported injuries, with the lower back being the most common (50%), followed by shoulder (28%) and knee injuries (10%). Overall, 88% experienced trouble within the last year, with 38% unable to work normally due to it. Only 4% reported trouble in the last week, and 10% suffered injuries from accidents. Most troubles lasted 7 days (64%) or 30 days (26%), with 36% seeking medical attention. These findings emphasize the prevalence and impact of injuries, particularly on work and daily activities, suggesting the need for effective prevention and management strategies. Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of injury prevention strategies in powerlifting, including proper technique training and load management. Early intervention and appropriate medical care are crucial for minimizing the impact of injuries on athletes' training and overall well-being. Further research with prospective designs and larger sample sizes is recommended to deepen our understanding of injury patterns and risk factors in powerlifting.
