Explanation / Answer

1) The grade I low back strain in volleyball players is caused by repetitive bending and rotating of the trunk. Bumping shoulders with another player, serving, spiking as well as picking the ball off the court involves bending and rotating of the trunk. Blocking does not involve movements to the trunk and therefore this activity is least likely to cause low back strain (option e).
