Soportan / dar soporte / brindar soporte


Explanation:
Para:
- The abdominal muscles "support" the spine and play an important role in the health of the back.

Utilizaria el término "Soportan", como se utiliza en el ejemplo siguiente:
Los abdominales se componen de cinco grupos musculares: recto abdominal (1), oblicuo externo (2), interno (3), abdominal transverso (4) y psoas-ilíaco.
Juntos, soportan el torso...

En el caso de:
- Exercises to "support" a healthy back.
Se podría utilizar: ejercicios que promueven...
O: ejercicios para fortalecer

Para: "supportive" clothing and shoes.
Se podría utilizar: ropa y zapatos que brinden soporte.

Para:
- What can I wear to "support" my back?
Se podría utilizar: para dar soporte

agree  Eileen Brophy: Yo usaría mantener, fortalecer o reforzar mas que dar apoyo

  -> Válido; sin embargo, si todo está como en los ejemplos (en un solo párrafo), es preferible no repetir palabras y usar sinónimos. Muchas gracias.
agree  Paulina Sobelman: De acuerdo con Eileen :) aunque cierto también lo diversificar palabras con sinónomos

  -> Muchas gracias, Paulina.
agree  Neil Ashby: But I wouldn't use "fortalecer" as it implies the muscles make the back stronger; exercises would 'fortalecer' the back, but not the simple presence of the muscles.

  -> Valid (although those muscles there help protect the back ones, so they 'fortalecen la espalda'); I just wanted to use different words because 'support' can be translated into spanish with different meanings taking into account the context. Thanks, Neil.
