Quantitative observation based on magnetic resonance imaging: the effects of marathon running on lumbar vertebrae, paraspinal muscles, and lumbar disc components
Marathon running may benefit the structure of the lumbar spine in a number of ways, including by reducing the lumbar vertebral body and psoas major muscle FFs and by reducing lumbar disc degeneration. However, in terms of building muscle strength, marathon running should be combined with some intensity of resistance training to minimize muscle loss due to excessive aerobic exercise.
