Twisting or pulling a muscle or tendon can result in a strain. It can also be caused by a single instance of improper lifting or by over stressing the back muscles. A chronic strain usually results from overuse involving prolonged, repetitive movement of the muscles and tendons. In addition, there are several factors that put a person at greater risk for a back strain or sprain, including excessively curving the lower back, being overweight, having weak back or abdominal muscles, and tight hamstrings (muscles in the back of the thighs). Playing sports that involve pushing and pulling—such as weightlifting and football—also increases the risk of a low-back injury. Chronic strains happen slowly over time from prolonged, repetitive overuse of muscles. Chronic strains develop from using the same muscle groups in the same pattern, causing even small stresses to build on one another. Causes of chronic strain include:
Improper body mechanics or using the wrong muscle groups for a task, such as repeatedly lifting heavy objects using your back instead of your legs
Improper sports mechanics or techniques, such as habitually gripping a tennis racket too tightly or an incorrect golf swing
Participation in the same exercises in the same way, day after day
Poor posture
Use of the wrong equipment, such as running shoes without the proper support for your foot type
Headache, nausea, vomiting, constipation, dizziness, spinning sensation, drowsiness, slurred speech, loss of balance or coordination, swollen or tender gums, sleep problems (insomnia), nervousness, tremors, rash.

<u>According to the concept of belief perseverance, when faced with evidence supporting a person's point of view on a controversial issue, that person would tend to assume the evidence is true</u>. Belief perseverance is the tendency to cling to our beliefs in the face of contrary evidence. It is an inherent human behavior. An example, a small group of people who still think that the Earth is flat even though they are normal members of modern society. In other words, people expend considerable mental energy to maintain their beliefs when presented with facts that prove them wrong.
