dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND: The multifidus muscle is located near the spine and controls the erection of the spine and stabilization during movements of the spine and extremities, and assists in all other spinal movements. Differences in paraspinal muscles between sides and levels, particularly in he multifidus, have been proposed as possible indicators of low back pain or spinal pathology. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the cross-sectional area of the lumbar multifidus muscle at L4-L5 vertebral levels on ultrasound images of athletes in Olympic-style weightlifting, judo athletes and sedentary individuals. METHODS: This study included asymptomatic male athletes (athletes in Olympic-style weightlifting, n = 17, age: 19.24 +/- 1.88, judo athletes, n = 17, age: 19.18 +/- 1.23) and sedentary individuals (n = 17, age: 19.88 +/- 1.31). The cross-sectional area of lumbar multifidus muscles was assessed bilaterally at the L4-L5 segments level in prone and using ultrasound imaging. RESULTS: Lumbar multifidus muscle cross-sectional areas of athletes in Olympic-style weightlifting and judo athletes were larger than those of sedentary individuals (p < 0.004). No asymmetric development was observed in cross-sectional areas of right-left lumbar multifidus muscle at L4-L5 levels of athletes in Olympic-style weightlifting and sedentary individuals (p > 0.008). The cross-sectional areas of the right and left lumbar multifidus muscle at L5 segment of individuals in judo athletes was found to be asymmetrical (p < 0.008). CONCLUSION: Our study shows that the cross-sectional areas of athletes in Olympic-style weightlifting and judo athletes are larger than that of sedentary individuals. The difference in the cross-sectional area of the lumbar multifidus muscle of athlete and sedentary groups might be said to result from hypertrophic effect of trainings of these athletes on the cross-sectional area of the lumbar multifidus muscle.en_US
