Explanation:

• Lifting moderate or lighter loads repetitively can lead to cumulative trauma disorders such as tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome due to repeated stress on muscles, tendons, and joints.
• Lifting in an awkward position (e.g., twisting the body while lifting) can put excessive strain on the spine, muscles, and ligaments, increasing the risk of sprains, strains, or disc injuries.
• Keeping your back straight while lifting and lifting with your legs (not your back) are proper lifting techniques that help distribute the load more evenly and reduce the risk of injury.
