Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Neil Ashby

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Chema Nieto Castañón May 24, 2020:
Me temo que no hay una traducción unívoca para support. Cada caso que planteas puede solucionarse de distintas maneras. Desde ayudar, prestar apoyo o ayudar a mantener, facilitar, hasta adecuado, favorable (supportive), podrían funcionar en tus ejemplos. Ver, por ejemplo,

Exercises to "support" a healthy back.
Ejercicios para facilitar [para ayudar a mantener] una espalda sana

The abdominal muscles "support" the spine and play an important role in the health of the back.
La musculatura abdominal ayuda [presta apoyo] a la columna y juega un papel importante en el bienestar de la espalda

For example, wear "supportive" clothing and shoes.
Por ejemplo, utilice calzado y prendas adecuados

What can I wear to "support" my back?
¿Qué [ropa o calzado] debo utilizar para ayudar a mi espalda?

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.

Soportan / dar soporte / brindar soporte

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
Peer comment(s):

agree Ramon Armora : Considerando los ejemplos estás en lo correcto, Support no siempre tiene que ser soporte.
