Appropriate evaluation and management of lumbar disc herniations is critical.

“There was no significant difference in RTP rate between athletes treated with operative or nonoperative management of LDHs, nor did operative management have a faster time to RTP.

Although slow and fast twitch fibers produce similar forces at slow speeds, they produce very different forces at fast speeds. Consequently, when individuals have a higher proportion of fast twitch muscle fibers, they display greater high-velocity strength (but not greater low-velocity strength) than individuals with a higher proportion of slow twitch muscle fibers.
