Abstract

The examination of 30 body builders showed that prolonged practice of this sport may lead to exercise-induced carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

It was shown that, especially when training had lasted for more than 6 years, the distal motor latency (DML) of the median nerve increased significantly. A clear correlation between the estimated total duration of training and the DML was found.
