In the images, you can see the boy who performs the exercises with the support of a friend in an equipment called “Smith”. With 70 kg on each side, for a total of 140 kg. After completing the squats, try to trigger the safety block and relax the body. However, the car has not been blocked and the weight makes it fall forward, with consequent injuries (See the images at the end of the report).
TO EarthThe physiotherapist and specialist in sport and dance of UNIFep Flora Pitta explains that the accident could have been much worse and highlights the importance of practicing with a large load accompanied by a qualified professional.
“He did not crash into the bar. This is very dangerous regardless of the weight he put. The bar could have hit his cervical and therefore the problem would be much bigger. When using the very high weight that there is a real risk of not being able to transport it, he must have someone responsible to support the position positioned,” he says.
As for the exercise, the expert emphasizes that a good physical preparation is needed before going into that load. “He is doing great squats and this theme is still controversial in the literature. […] It should have been prepared for this load and for all this amplitude. Because it is evident that it is not, because the last repetition has not been able to complete, “he says.
“He could do the same movement with a much smaller size, he didn’t need to crouch so much and he also put him at risk for the load he put. So if he decreased a little amplitude, he would have done with excellence, he would not need so great help, so great support, he says so much his friend and could block the calm car.
How to avoid accidents with weights
According to Pitta, students who perform large training should pay attention to the following points:
