Fitness and bodybuilding are becoming the trend of the development of sports projects today, not only to bring health to the exercisers, but also to keep the body in good condition. However, due to the wrong attitudes and methods of exercisers, they often have negative effects on exercisers, such as sprains, strains, and tendon strains. This article is based on data mining technology to realize the research of exercise injury prevention methods, so firstly, it introduces the steps and applications of data mining technology and highlights the cluster analysis method in data mining technology. Then it discusses the injury factors of fitness and bodybuilding and outlines the best measures to prevent exercise injury. At the same time, the C4.5 algorithm was introduced to realize the processing of the data set, and the effectiveness of preventive measures was proved by investigating the damage of fitness and bodybuilding exercises in 15 clubs in a certain city. The results of the study show that the number of people who exercise more than 3 times a week accounts for 65.6% of the total number of people, which shows that exercisers in a city’s fitness club exercise more frequently each week.

“…Bodybuilding differs from other weight lifting disciplines due to its aesthetic nature. Bodybuilding is a sports activity suitable for weight training and special nutrition programs to have a muscular physical appearance (Aranyosi, 2018, Mosley, 2009. Although there are female bodybuilders in bodybuilding, it is primarily one of the sports that is dominated by men (Mosley, 2009).…”

The body is a factor that makes men feel masculine and the role of the body in the construction of masculinity is undeniable. Bodybuilding has many features that are associated with masculinity such as performance, strength, muscular appearance, endurance. The scope of this study is to determine how male bodybuilding athletes construct masculinity through the body they construct and whether choosing this sport branch is meaningful in terms of masculinity. The data of the study were collected with a social constructivist stance, through a focus group interview. Participants of the study were four elite male bodybuilding athletes. According to the findings of the study, the participants were united in a common discourse that they started bodybuilding in order to be more muscular and bulky and that the ideal male body is bulky and intimidating. In addition, bodybuilding is considered as an area where participants can build masculinity and consider the new bodies they have built as an element of respect, a symbol of power. Bodybuilding represents the strength, power, and competence characteristics associated with masculinity for the participants, and is considered as an area where men can build a muscular appearance, which is the ideal body shape. In other words, through bodybuilding they use their bodies to construct masculinity.

“…[ 2 ] However, if this sport is not accompanied by a professional trainer, it can lead to deterioration and loss of function of the human body. [ 3 ] Shoulder injuries are one of them. [ 4 ] For this reason, exercises for the muscles that affect the general biomechanics of the body, such as the deltoid muscle, which allows the movement of the shoulder joint in many planes and axes, should be carefully selected.…”

Objectives It is known that bodybuilders suffer from shoulder injuries frequently. Therefore, it is important to determine the most appropriate form of movement during shoulder exercises. For this reason, this study was carried out to determine the most accurate form of movement by examining the deltoid muscle activation of bodybuilders from different angles. Methods The survey model, one of the quantitative research techniques, was used in this study. 53 athletes (44 men, 9 women) with an age of 25.77±9.13 years, height of 177.07±8.40 cm, body weight of 78.06±14.16 kg, and body mass index of 24.78±3.43 kg/m 2 who regularly attended bodybuilding gyms were included in the study. The deltoid activations of the participants was measured, while the glenohumeral joint is at 90°, the cubital joint is in abduction at 180°, 150° and 120°. surface electromyography (sEMG) biofeedback was determined using the Neurotrac Myoplus Pro device. Joint angles were determined with a goniometer. Statistical analyses of the study were performed using the SPSS 25 package program. It was found that the data were normally distributed and the Repeated measures Anova test was applied for comparisons. Results As a result of statistical analysis, in male participants, mean deltoid sEMG values and maximum voluntary contraction (MVC [%]) significantly decreased with decreasing angle size (p<0.05). In female participants, the average sEMG and MVC (%) values did not change at different angles (p>0.05). Conclusion According to the research results, shoulder sEMG activations decrease in direct proportion to the angle in bodybuilders. When the glenohumeral joint is 90° and the cubital joint is 180°, the activation of the medial deltoid muscle is highest. It is suggested that bodybuilders should consider the results of our study when performing exercises to hypertrophy the deltoid muscle.
