Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing an evidence-based intervention program, COmmunities Aligned to reduce Concussion and Head impact exposure (COACH) on a larger scale. Coaches of 12U (12 years old and under), and 13U (13 years old and under) teams within six youth football organizations will pilot test the intervention. Aim 1 will conduct focus groups with coaches, parents, and organizational leaders to assess organizational needs, capacity, and readiness to adopt the intervention program. Aim 2 will evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention program at reducing HIE and injuries and evaluate implementation success. Aim 2 results (intervention outcomes) are reported herein.
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 interest in Para sport is steadily increasing. A concern is, though, that elite Para athletes report a high incidence of injuries and illnesses. Altogether, there is an urgent need to prevent such incidents among athletes already suffering from an impairment. However, most of the existing training-based prevention programmes are not adapted or accessible to Para athletes. Also, recent research suggests that sports safety work advantageously should facilitate disease prevention and health promotion. Such intervention would hypothetically also have the potential to reduce injuries, illnesses and improve health among Para athletes. To allow full implementation, the intervention would need to be adapted to the Para athletes´ various impairments, abilities and sports. MAIN QUESTIONS TO BE ADRESSED - Can an evidence-based eHealth health promotion platform prevent sports injuries and illnesses in elite para athletes over 6 months, 12 months and 5 years? - Can such platform improve overall health parameters such as sleep, nutrition and mental health in elite para athletes and influence the performance parameters training quantity and training quality over 6 months, 12 months and 5 years? - Can such platform improve health literacy among Para athletes?
The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) was established in May 2000 at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences.The OSTRC aims to prevent injuries and other health problems related to sports. The majority of the research conducted at OSTRC involves elite sports. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) Injury Prevention Program in reducing injuries among athletes. Hypothesis: that Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) Injury Prevention Program has a beneficial effect in terms of injury prevention. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) Injury Prevention Program in reducing injuries among athletes.
In this observational case series the investigators would like to investigate wether or not the strenuous activity exerted on over head athletic athletes (ie. javelin throwers, discus throwers) may incite injury on their shoulders. The investigators understood that these athletes had to perform repeated throwing motions and yet reports on their effects are very limited. This condition in the long run may contribute to injury and affecting performance of the athletes. The investigators found that these relationships have not been looked at closely by others and largely overshadowed by athletes in other fields; such injury patterns had been described in details in baseball pitchers but not in other athletes.
The main objective is to analyze the relationship between the PF muscles and the other variables along the different tasks of daily life and during the race.
