Filter by:The primary aim of this observational cohort study is to assess sports specialization, sports performance, history of injuries (prevalence, types, areas, duration) and quality of life in young healthy athletes aged 8-16 from Poland. Athlete profiles will be created based on the variables (explained in detailed description) examined. Furthermore, the investigators will perform one-year injury follow-up. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do athletes with a specific profile (lower values in athletic performance tests, low values in quality of life) evaluated at one time point, suffer injury in the future in annual observation? - Do athletes with high sports specialization will sustain injury in one-year follow-up? - Does sports specialization have a relationship with sports performance tests, and quality of life? - Does value of the specific muscle (lower limb) isometric strength will be associated with the dynamic balance scores in young healthy athletes?
This study aimed to assess the longitudinal changes in triceps surae muscle-tendon architecture to an ultra distance trail running. Experienced trail runners (N=55, 78% men, age: 45.2 [13.5] years) participated in a 156-km trail run (6000m climbing) consisting in six 26-km laps. The resting architectural properties of triceps surae muscle-tendon were measured using ultrasound imaging for Achille tendon cross-sectional area (AT CSA), medial gastrocnemius muscle pennation angle, thickness, length and fiber length. Measurements were performed the day before the race (Baseline), at 52-km (T1), at 104-km (T2), at 156-km (T3) and 12 hours after the race (H12).
The Singapore Youth Shoulder Overuse Injury Prevention Program (YoSO-IPP) includes an exercise segment and an education segment. This study will (1) assess the effects of the exercise segment, and (2) assess the effects of the education segment among youth volleyball athletes using a randomized controlled trial over 12 weeks. Performance outcome measures of shoulder eccentric external rotation strength, shoulder internal rotation range of motion, and thoracic rotation range of motion will be used to assess the effects of the exercise segment. Knowledge scores via an online questionnaire will be used to assess the effects of the education segment. Hypothesis: The YoSO-IPP will have an effect on shoulder eccentric external rotation strength, shoulder internal rotation range of motion, and thoracic rotation range of motion and on knowledge scores.
The aim of this study is to investigate muscular activations during various quadriceps exercises commonly used in clinical settings.
This study was conducted to demonstrate the correlation between the functional movement screen and the isokinetic muscle strength with objective data. Investigators conclude that the use of FMS in combination with isokinetic systems will provide more detailed information on the prevention of injuries to sports and the improvement of performance.
''This study aims to determine the relationship between functional movement screen (FMS), core stabilization and Y balance test. The study will include evaluations on 30 handball players and 30 sedentary individuals.'' Functional movement analysis is a biomechanical screening and evaluation system to identify limitations and asymmetries in 7 basic movements. This system reveals the kinetic chain interaction between mobility and stability required for basic performance. Unlike conventional assessment methods, FHA focuses on the efficiency and quality of the movement pattern, not on the number of repetitions or weight lifted. The main aim of the study was to reveal the relationship between functional movement screen and core endurance and Y balance test evaluations in handball players with objective data. Functional movement is the general name of the activities performed by individuals for function and the movements performed by individuals for function are examined with analysis methods. In an effective analysis, if people do not have appropriate stability and mobility, it is determined from which muscle-muscle group or joint the problem originates. Analyses play a role in determining which of the stabilization, mobilization and flexibility factors are problematic at which stage of the function. In addition, these methods are effective in preventing possible injuries while helping to improve balance, strength and power characteristics of individuals. Core stabilization problems cause significant posture and stabilization problems. These problems are reflected in functional movements. Core stabilization problems are thought to have negative effects on functional movement analysis scores. Active athletes with this problem will be more affected. This study also aimed to observe the differences between athletes and sedentary individuals. Studies defined the core as the part of the body in the musculoskeletal system consisting of the proximal lower extremities, abdominal structures, hips, pelvis and spine and stated that the core muscles are composed of the trunk and pelvis muscles. It is argued that trunk and pelvis stabilization is essential for all movements of the extremities. The transversus abdominis and multifidus work in cocontraction and control excessive anterior pelvic tilt, which is known to be associated with femoral internal rotation and adduction. The musculature of the core is referred to as the muscular corset over the trunk and spine that stabilizes the body with or without limb movement. The strength and stabilization of the core affects the fitness and physical fitness of athletes. Core exercises should be included in exercise programs planned to improve athletic performance. Core endurance tests have been defined to reveal the relationship between core stabilization and performance. Lateral bridge test and trunk flexor test are the preferred core endurance tests in this study. The Y balance test is a dynamic test that requires strength, flexibility, core control and proprioception in a single-legged stance. Functional movement analysis, core stabilization tests and Y balance test are assessment scales that provide objective data on stabilization, postural alignment and spinal alignment. It is envisaged that these three assessment parameters will support each other after the study. Functional movements are widely used during both daily and sports activities. Core stabilization and dynamic balance are the factors that determine the quality of functional movements. These movements become more important for athletes as they affect their sporting success. Athletes need a good evaluation to ensure and maintain success. Since handball is defined as a sport that requires a lot of effort, the risks increase and it becomes clear that the evaluation should be done with a holistic approach.Injuries in handball develop due to multifactors.Biomechanical, kinesthetic and functional losses in players should be determined to prevent injuries.Functional movement analysis, core stabilization, Y balance test will give us detailed information about posture, limb alignment and asymmetry, spinal smoothness, dynamic balance and will give us the chance to analyze whether there is a correlation between these tests.
The aim of this comparative study is to determine whether or not LOSARTAN with its anti-fibrotic action has an added effect when administrated with platelet rich plasma injection on skeletal muscle healing and on decreasing the fibrous scar after muscle injuries in comparison with the sole administration of platelet rich plasma.
The purpose of this study is to determine the value of including dynamic vision testing into California State University, Northridge (CSUN) Athletics' established concussion protocol. The study's hypotheses are 1) dynamic vision testing will reveal vision impairments right after a person sustains a concussion, 2) these impairments may still be present upon clearance to return to play.
The goal of this clinical trail is to determine the effects of eccentric hamstring training, in prevention of hamstring injuries in sports involving sprinting among club level athletes. The main question it aims to answer is : - Will eccentric exercises have an effect in the recovery of hamstring injuries and injury prevention in sprint performance sports among club-level athletes. Participants will be divided into two groups. Control group will perform conventional training program and interventional group will perform eccentric exercises.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of regular exercising on scapular muscle endurance and shoulder pain in young individuals. Methods: Participants' clinical and sociodemographic properties recorded, scapular muscle endurance assessed with Scapular Muscular Endurance (SME) test, and shoulder pain severity questioned using the Visual Analogue Scale.
