Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of repetitions-to-failure (RTF) deadlifts on lumbo-pelvic coordination and posture in individuals, focusing on the differences when performing lifts with and without body armor.
- Twenty-three recreational powerlifters participated, with their trunk and pelvis movements analyzed using a 3D motion capture system during RTF deadlifts.
- Results indicated increased coordination variability and trunk flexion during RTF deadlifts, suggesting a potential higher risk of lower back injuries due to greater mechanical demands on the spine.
