Doing planks regularly causes lower back pain in healthy adults.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that doing planks regularly causes lower back pain in healthy adults?

Unclear. One cross-sectional study found that plank endurance was not an independent predictor of low back pain in adults, and a consumer health article states that core strength from planks helps protect the spine. Neither source directly tests whether regularly doing planks causes lower back pain in healthy adults.
