C Incorrect. A major way to prevent sports injuries is not weight lifting, sit-ups, and push-ups on a daily basis.

He states that he did some heavy lifting yesterday, went to bed with a mild backache, and awoke this morning with terrible back pain, which he rates as a 10 on a 1-to-10 scale. He admits to having had a similar episode of back pain years ago "after I lifted something heavy at work."

What questions would be appropriate to ask J.C. in evaluating the extent of his back pain and injury? What observable characteristic does J.C. have that makes him highly susceptible to low back injury? J.C. used to take piroxicam (Feldene) 20 mg until he developed his duodenal ulcer.
