The resources emphasize the importance of primary prevention for spine health, focusing on preventing problems in healthy individuals. They explain the role of the skeleton and spine as the central support of the body and detail the structure of the spine, including the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. The materials highlight the negative effects of prolonged sitting, such as muscle shortening, altered posture, and the impact on metabolism, particularly reduced lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity. Practical advice and prevention strategies are also provided, including smart movement, specific exercises, and the importance of breaking up long periods of inactivity to maintain physical and metabolic health.
