Almost dead like a log of wood...m alwayz having diz back pains n waist pains after playing football,pz hw do I go about it?

Hi doff,

A couple of factors are implicated in declining stamina. The principal factor is age. (I am assuming that you are above 30 years old). As we grow older, our muscles become less supple and less pliant. In addition, our joints too become less mobile or flexible culminating in reduced athletic output. Some studies have theorized that peak performance begins to decline around age 30. Other factors to be considered may include; inadequate warm-up routine, poor technique, poor conditioning, poor equipment, altitude etc.

Physically demanding sports such as football coupled with advancing age often lead to discogenic back pain (i.e. back pain caused by a pathology of the intervertebral discs). Back pain is also often present in subjects with weak abdominal muscles (read 'pot belly') or tight hamstrings (or both). Typically, Long term postural adaptations (bad posture), poor lifting techniques and other mechanical assaults to the spine often manifest as one single acute episode of back pain.

I would recommend that you see a physiotherapist for the back pain and for your stamina (or lack of it). In assessing your condition, you may be required to carry out some tests - so be prepared. If time and money is no consideration to you, you may also seek the counsel of a nutritionist and an exercise physiologist.

Finally, with proper nutrition and exercises, it is possible to delay the deterioration that accompanies aging. With discipline, you can join the ranks of Ryan Giggs, Kanu Nwankwo and Roger Miller who all played well into their forties.
