Although millions of men and women in the United States are regularly involved in some form of weightlifting, the average physician knows, and frequently cares, little about the sports involved. As a result, his or her knowledge of the medical and physiological issues involved is limited This article attempts to address this lack by beginning with a brief introductory section outlining some of the similarities differences between the major weight lifting approaches (power lifting, olympic lifting, weight training and body building). Next it reviews major issues and controversies such as age restrictions for lifters, physiological effects, drug use, potential strength gains and hypertrophy. Finally, it discusses some of the more frequent and unique injuries that can occur in lifters.
尽管在美国数以百万计的男性和女性经常参与某种形式的举重运动，但普通医生对相关运动了解甚少，也往往不太关注。因此，他或她对所涉及的医学和生理问题的了解有限。本文试图通过以下方式解决这一不足：首先是一个简短的介绍部分，概述主要举重方法（力量举、奥林匹克举重、重量训练和健美）之间的一些异同。接下来回顾一些主要问题和争议，如举重运动员的年龄限制、生理影响、药物使用、潜在的力量增长和肌肉肥大。最后，讨论举重运动员可能发生的一些较常见和独特的损伤。
