(1) Background: Assessments of intervertebral disc (IVD) changes, and IVD tissue adaptations due to physical activity, for example, remains challenging. Newer magnetic resonance imaging techniques can quantify detailed features of the IVD, where T2-mapping and T2-weighted (T2w) and Dixon imaging are potential candidates. Yet, their relative utility has not been examined. The performances of these techniques were investigated to characterize IVD differences in asymptomatic individuals with distinct physical activity histories. (2) Methods: In total, 101 participants (54 women) aged 25–35 years with distinct physical activity histories but without histories of spinal disease were included. T11/12 to L5/S1 IVDs were examined with sagittal T2-mapping, T2w and Dixon imaging. (3) Results: T2-mapping differentiated Pfirrmann grade-1 from all other grades (p < 0.001). Most importantly, T2-mapping was able to characterize IVD differences in individuals with different training histories (p < 0.005). Dixon displayed weak correlations with the Pfirrmann scale, but presented significantly higher water content in the IVDs of the long-distance runners (p < 0.005). (4) Conclusions: Findings suggested that T2-mapping best reflects IVD differences in asymptomatic individuals with distinct physical activity histories changes. Dixon characterized new aspects of IVD, probably associated with IVD hypertrophy. This complementary information may help us to better understand the biological function of the disc.

Exercise for the intervertebral disc : a 6-month randomised controlled trial in chronic low back pain
Owen, Patrick J.; Miller, Clint T.; Rantalainen, Timo; Simson, Katherine J.; Connell, David; Hahne, Andrew J.; Trudel, Guy; Ford, Jon J.; Belavy, Daniel L. (Springer, 2020)Background context Muscle, bone and tendon respond anabolically to mechanical forces. Whether the intervertebral disc (IVD) can benefit from exercise is unclear. Purpose To examine whether exercise can beneficially ... -
Mechanical loading influences the lumbar intervertebral disc : A cross‐sectional study in 308 athletes and 71 controls
Owen, Patrick J; Hangai, Mika; Kaneoka, Koji; Rantalainen, Timo; Belavy, Daniel L. (Wiley, 2021)There is evidence in animal populations that loading and exercise can positively impact the intervertebral disc (IVD). However, there is a paucity of information in humans. We examined the lumbar IVDs in 308 young athletes ... -
The importance of level stratification for quantitative MR studies of lumbar intervertebral discs : a cross-sectional analysis in 101 healthy adults
Hebelka, H.; Lagerstrand, K.; Brisby, H.; Owen, P. J.; Quittner, M. J.; Rantalainen, T.; Belavy, D. L. (Springer, 2019)Purpose: To investigate whether quantitative T2-times depend on lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) level. Methods: The lumbar spine (Th12/L1–L5/S1) of 101 participants (53.5% female, 30.0[± 3.6]years, 173.5[± 9.6]cm and ... -
