Filter by:This project comprises two studies; a cross-sectional study and a prospective study. 1. The cross-sectional study aims to develop and validate a new sport-specific test battery (PROMs, analytical and physical performance tests) in healthy tennis players and swimmers.The construct validity of this upper extremity test battery will be examined through two different methods. 1. Firstly, the performance on the test battery will be correlated to sport performance (sprint time at 100m freestyle in swimming and serve speed/accuracy in tennis) 2. Secondly, the correlation between test battery performance and upper limb/trunk kinematics in a tennis serve (measured via inertial measurement units (IMUs)) will be examined. 2. In the prospective study, the predictive validity of the test battery will be evaluated. Healthy swimmers and tennis players will be tested at baseline using the same test battery as mentioned above. However, the test battery will adapted based of the results of the cross-sectional study. The athletes will be followed for one year and new injuries will be recorded via a weekly questionnaire. Performance on the test battery will be associated with the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries.
The goal of this clinical trial is to analyze the effectiveness of an NMT-based, injury prevention training program ('FIFA 11+ for Kids') in pre-adolescent (Ages 8 to 11) elite female soccer players by measuring neuromuscular control and motor coordination through pre-intervention and post-intervention testing. As well as monitoring the incidence of injury throughout a soccer season.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of stabilization and stabilization-related parameters on shooting performance at the cervical, lumbal and scapular levels in archery athletes. A total of 40 archery athletes aged between 10 and 18, who have been professionally engaged in archery for at least 1 year were included in the study. Demographic information and musculoskeletal system evaluations of the athletes were done. Performance of the athletes via Upper Extremity Closed Kinetic Chain Stability Test, Hand Grip Strength test; presence of scapular dyskinesia was evaluated via the Lateral Scapular Slide Test. Cervical region stabilization was evaluated via Craniocervical Flexion Test, scapular level stabilization was evaluated via Scapular Muscle Endurance Test, lumbar region stabilization was evaluated via Abdominal Drawing-in Test and Sahrmann's Core Stability Test. As the parameters related to stabilization, postures via Corbin Postural Rating Scale; balances via Stork Balance Test, Upper Extremity Y Balance Test; pain was evaluated via the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. Shooting performances were evaluated with 72 target shootings and a total of 720 points. .
Three male and three female semi-professional athletes, ranging in age from 22 to 27, participated in a study that was done at Lund University in Sweden to examine their physiological responses. The temperature and relative humidity were adjusted at 40 degrees Celsius for hot, dry conditions and 31 degrees Celsius for hot, wet conditions, respectively. The participants were instructed to engage in physical activity on a treadmill within the chamber for 70 minutes, or until participants were able to continue their exercise without difficulty within the allotted period. Participants were instructed to walk (5 kph) and run (8 kph). Participants pulse rate, breathing rate, oxygen consumption, and subjective reactions were all recorded. On the basis of the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT), a heat stress index, the American College of Sports Medicine has made certain suggestions. The technique used to determine the temperature on a Celsius scale took into account the influences of relative humidity, air temperature, wind, and direct sunlight radiation. The American College of Sports Medicine advises delaying athletic competition when the WBGT is above 28 degrees. In the climate control chamber, the trials were carried out in high-risk circumstances (28 degrees Celsius WBGT). According to the study's findings, exercise is influenced by weather, and as air temperature rises, so do the intensity of exertion and thermal feeling.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Leg Lateral Reach Test to measure thoraco-lumbo-pelvic segment mobility in adolescent tennis players. The fact that the test is valid and reliable for tennis players will contribute to monitoring trunk rotation flexibility in athletes, comparing them bilaterally, and revealing the exercise training necessary to improve performance.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cryoultrasound therapy versus diathermy in combination with high-intensity laser therapy for pain relief in male professional soccer players with muscle injuries. The main questions it intends to answer are: • Is this combination of treatments effective in these patients in terms of pain relief? Participants will receive a rehabilitation treatment consisting of cryo-ultrasound therapy and high intensity laser. Researchers will compare the group of participants, called the treatment group, with a control group to see if: • Is the combined treatment of cryoultrasound therapy and high intensity laser more effective in these patients than the combination of diathermy and high intensity laser?
Participants will complete a functional MRI to evaluate brain activation, functional connectivity, and behavioral performance immediately before and after a training program (approximately 30 minutes). The training program will comprise of integrate neuromuscular (agility, dynamic postural stability, shuffling, rapid acceleration/deceleration, plyometrics, lateral shuffle, and core stability) and cognitive (reaction time, processing speed, task switching, decision-making, and working memory) challenges.
the study aims to assess the efficacy of two interventions, namely the muscle energy technique and the hamstring Nordic lower exercise, in addressing hamstring tightness among young athletes in Pakistan.
In this study, we examine how acute to chronic workload ratio and functional movement screen scores relate to injury risk in teenage athletes who play team sports.
This study will compare patient reported outcomes (PROs) and patient satisfaction scores of patients seen at virtual phone visits with patients seen at in-person visits for post-operative follow up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months at a sports medicine clinic. This study will determine if there is a difference in PROs and satisfaction scores between these two groups of patients. The investigators hypothesize patients who are seen during a virtual phone visit will report different PRO and patient satisfaction scores compared to patients who are seen during an in-person visit for post-operative follow-up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6-months.
