Epidemiology of Speed Skating-related Injuries

Sports Injury

Speed skating is a sport in which there´s a lack of epidemiological studies. In line with the well-established model of sports injury prevention research proffered by van Mechelen, the first stage in this process is establishing the extent of the problem i.e. injury incidence, severity and burden. Through an online survey filled by semiprofessional athletes, it is posible to obtain all this important information. This way, it will be possible to fulfill a gap in the literature and take action in the near future in order to reduce the prevalence of injuries in this sport.

Behavior of Cyclists in Response to Pain

PainSport Injury1 more

A qualitative study, as a follow-up to an earlier study, that provides an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the injured cyclist's behavior related to seeking medical attention and endurance of pain. This study includes 10 club-level cyclists who have an injury and either have or have not sought medical attention.

Peroneal Nerve Injury: a 20- Year Retrospective Case Series Study

Traumatic InjuryPeroneal Nerve Injury1 more

In a 20-year retrospective study, all skiers and snowboarders with a peroneal nerve injury at the fibular head treated surgically at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at the Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria, were included. Covering a period from 1999/2000 to 2018/2019.

Detection of Neuromuscular Deficits in Uninjured Youth Basketball Players

Injury;SportsBiomechanical Lesions1 more

Basketball is an impact, coordination-opposition sport with continuous contact among players and it is considered a sport of medium-high injury incidence. Players are force to have a physical condition appropriate to their practice and the demand to which they must respond due to the intensity of the efforts this sport requires. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to establish an evaluation protocol that allows the detection of functional deficiencies, to guide and conduct in a specific and early way every moment of players' health and growth. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and detect federated youth basketball players' (U12 - U17) neuromuscular deficiencies in mobility, stability and landing technique in static and dynamic situations to simulate all the most important actions of basketball demands.

Neuromuscular Deficits in Jump-Landing Technique in Young Basketball

Sport InjuryMotor Skills Disorders1 more

Basketball is a team sport that requires specific motor skills to develop different technical-tactical actions. Within the specific movements, landings after a jump are very common and require optimal technical performance, good stability and symmetry. Alterations in these components have been linked to an increased risk of injury. The objective of the present study is to identify functional alterations in the jump / landing technique that basketball players present. Cross-sectional study carried out from Septembre to Juny. The participants were basketball players aged 12 to 14 years. The main variables were: ankle stability, dynamic knee valgus, central stability, symmetry of the lower extremities. The tests used were: Abalakov Test, Single Hop Test for distance, Single-leg vertical countermovement jump test, Cross Over Hop test, One Leg Balance Test.

Shoulder Profile Among Swimmers and Badminton Players

Sport InjuryShoulder Injuries

Background: To compare the pre-season clinical measures with shoulder rotator strength and range of motion between bilateral (swimmers) and unilateral (badminton players) overhead athletes. Design: Prospective cohort study Participants: 42 athletes were enrolled including 24 elite badminton players and 18 elite swimmers Independent variables: A pre-season visit consisted in clinical and isokinetic shoulder strength testing. Clinical testing consisted in the shoulder range of motion (ROM) measurements aIsokinetic internal and external rotator shoulder muscles strength was tested at 60. Conventional and functional (eccentric-to-concentric) ratios (FR) were calculated.

Internal Rotation Deficit of the Glenohumeral Joint in Advanced-level Handball Players

Internal Rotation Contracture-shoulderArticulation Disorders1 more

The main objective of this study is to estimate the incidence and prevalence of Internal Rotation Deficit (IRD) defined by a measure of IRD 2 (Internal Rotation Deficit in position 2) strictly greater than 20 ° in a population of advanced-level handball players over a training season.

Meniscal Lesions in Return to Sport After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

ACL InjuryMeniscus Lesion1 more

Most athletes who undergo Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) plan to return to some level of sporting (RTS) activity. However, rates of return to pre-injury sport are often less than might be expected and many factors influence whether individuals return to sport after this surgery. This study aims to better understand the role of meniscal lesions in RTS and to assess the advantage of the integrated evaluation with clinical, biomechanical and psychological tests to decide the correct RTS timing in non-professional athletes undergoing ACLR.

Epidemiology of Injuries in Elite Badminton Players: a Prospective Study

Sport Injury

Objective: To determine the incidence and characteristics of injuries in elite badminton players over a competitive season. Design: 12-months prospective cohort study Setting: The French National Institute of Sport, Expertise, and Performance (INSEP). Participants: Twenty international elite badminton players Independent variables: The type, the location, the occurrence of the injury (match or training), the footwork type, the type of shot and the perceived fatigue were collected. Main Outcome Measures: Injury incidence rates were calculated per 1000 hours of play (Hop).

Single Leg Squat Performance in Physically and Non-physically Active Individuals

Single Leg Squat PerformanceAthletic Injuries

Single-leg squat (SLS) is a functional test visually rated by clinicians for assessing lower limb function as a preventive injury strategy. SLS clinical rating is a qualitative evaluation and it does not count objective outcomes as kinematics data and surface electromyography (sEMG) assessment. Based on the SLS rating, the aims of this study were (i) to determine the clinical rating agreement among six raters and (ii) to assess kinematic and sEMG predictors of good SLS performance in physically and non-physically active individuals.
