Filter by:A prospective cohort design will be used to assess differences in outcomes between pivoting sport athletes with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) who follow usual care and those who follow a treatment algorithm with a RTS and rehabilitation tool. Athletes aged 15-40 at injury with primary ACLR who express a goal to return to sports with frequent pivoting are eligible. The RTS and rehabilitation tool includes standardized clinical, functional and muscle strength testing 6, 8, 10, and 12 months after surgery. Individual test results guide progression in sports participation and the content of further rehabilitation according to a standardized algorithm.
The aim of the present study is to establish the injury incidence, severity and burden typically observed within Scottish professional football clubs. 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. Such a multi-club study has never been conducted within Scotland despite a thriving professional game.
This study tests the hypothesis that the combination of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy performed with the Swiss DolorClast device (Electro Medical Systems, Nyon, Switzerland) and a specific rehabilitation program (hereafter, "rESWT + RP") is effective and safe in treatment of acute hamstring muscle complex injury Type 3b, and is statistically significantly more effective than the combination of sham-rESWT and RP (hereafter, "sham-rESWT + RP").
Hamstring muscle injuries are a common pathology in sports mainly present in sprint and acceleration sports, accounting for about 12% of all football injuries. Because of their frequency, risk of reinjury and financial cost, they can be considered as a public health problem. Improving knowledge of the pathophysiology of hamstring muscle injury appears to be a relevant research focus for prevention purposes.
The purpose of this study is to determine the neurologic and cognitive effects of playing tackle football in grade school and high school. During contact practices and games, players wear a football helmet containing an impact sensor. Before and after each season, players complete neurological testing to measure several different aspects of brain function. Two groups of football players will be in the study: 5th and 6th grade tackle football players from the Brighton Bulldogs Football and Cheer league (about 70 players). Varsity football players from Brighton High School (about 70 players per year). The study begins in July 2016 and will continue for 4 years (through the winter of 2020).
There is evidence that intense physical activity has a potential effect on thrombotic events due to catecholamine release. The hormones leptin and adiponectin have been used as markers of cardiovascular risk, but they are few and contradictory studies that relate physical training intensity and duration of high plasma concentrations of these hormones. The use of antioxidants, such as proanthocyanidins present in grapes, may help in reducing the undesirable effects of intense training.
