Optimization and management of joint pain in strength sports: prevalence, causes, prevention strategies and treatment methods

Joint problems are a common phenomenon among strength athletes and often result from the intense strain of regular training. These complaints manifest themselves through pain, swelling and reduced mobility, which can limit training and lead to delays in training progress. However, targeted preventive measures and appropriate treatment methods can largely prevent or alleviate such problems.

Prevalence of joint problems in weight training: Research suggests that around 55% of the adult population in Germany regularly experience joint problems. For strength athletes in particular, the prevalence is around 27% within a six-month period. The shoulder, knee and wrist joints are particularly susceptible, with inflammation, strains and tears identified as the most common causes.

Causes of joint problems in weight training: The main factors that lead to joint problems include

• Overuse due to overly intense training without adequate recovery periods.
• An imbalance between muscles and tendons, which leads to uneven stress on the joints.
• Technique errors when performing exercises, which can lead to increased stress on the joints.

Prevention of joint problems in weight training: Effective preventative strategies are based on scientific evidence and include

• Building strong, balanced muscles to stabilize and relieve stress on joints.
• Warming up before training to promote blood circulation and prepare the joints.
• Avoiding overloading through appropriate training intensity and sufficient rest periods.
• Using correct techniques during exercises to minimize stress on the joints.

Treatment of joint problems in weight training: Prompt treatment is essential to avoid long-term damage. Treatment options include:

• Rest and offloading the affected joints.
• Physiotherapy to improve mobility and muscle strength.
• Anti-inflammatory medication, nutrients and injections to relieve pain.
• Support for collagen synthesis to rebuild damaged structures.
