Relations between daily stressful events, exertion, heart rate variability, and thoracolumbar fascia deformability: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The posture of performance-oriented sport climbers adapts in a way that likely promotes the development of low back pain. The thoracolumbar fascia, while also contributing to performance, seems to be involved in that process. Furthermore, there has been evidence of the stiffening of the fascial structures in disorders associated with negative affectivity. The study aims to investigate the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and the deformability of the thoracolumbar fascia in a sport climber in a natural setting.

Case presentation

Over a 30 day period, a 50-year-old German male reported daily morning resting heart rate variability and daily inventory of stressful events. The thoracolumbar fascia deformation was measured daily using ultrasound in a ma
