1.	As the elderly age, they typically lose the proper S-shape spinal posture to become more humped over as in the characteristic C-shape posture.
2.	In physical contact sports, like football, the S-shape posture will have more overall success than other spinal postures because mechanically it will possess the best mechanical advantage.
3.	It does not matter what kind of exercise equipment you get, or which exercises you perform, as long as you are building muscle is what counts most to getting strong and developing athletic ability.
4.	Youth sports training programs need competent people that understand the spinal maturation process.
5.	When suffering an injury to the spine, receiving proper resolution of injury requires addressing the restoration of proper spinal structure and function.
6.	A strength and conditioning coach that participates in youth training and has an understanding of spinal architecture is concerned with proper spinal structure and function.
7.	A competent youth sports program should have access not only to good coaches that can teach fundamentals of a sport, but also professionals in athletic training and strength and conditioning.
8.	Youth sports training should not include exercises that promote the proper adult S-shaped spinal posture.
9.	It is important for youth sports to have screening procedures to identify the individuals that potentially have poor spinal development.
10.	Proper spinal structural development should not be an important consideration in youth sports programs.
11.	In a movement involving the spine, mechanical advantage is a method of determining the amount of effort required, forces created and anatomical parts involved.
12.	When shear forces are created at a joint they typically don’t have to be stabilized by some mechanism.
13.	Typically spinal muscles like the multifidus and the interspinalis are grouped together as extensor muscles of the spine; however the study of biomechanics would require examining each muscles direction of pull to evaluate its true impact on a movement.
14.	Understanding lever systems is an important part of spinal biomechanics.
15.	Understanding Spinal Fitness concepts is important for those who are involved with the restoration or improvement of a human’s physical abilities.
