Key result
Weightlifting-related injuries are influenced by biomechanics, age, and sex, with men more likely to experience exertional injuries and women more susceptible to accidental injuries.
Why the study?
Despite newer knowledge of biomechanics and safety precautions, weightlifting injuries still occur as more athletes participate, prompting the need to determine injury sources, frequently affected body parts, and those more prone.

May support sex- and age-specific prevention counseling in weightlifting; hypothesis-generating for prospective validation.
Weightlifting injuries vary significantly by age and sex, highlighting the need for tailored safety precautions and proper biomechanical form to prevent strains, sprains, and accidental injuries.
Peter et al. (2020) conducted a review in Weightlifting-related injuries. Weightlifting was evaluated. Weightlifting-related injuries are influenced by biomechanics, age, and sex, with men more likely to experience exertional injuries and women more susceptible to accidental injuries.
