Filter by:To our knowledge no study has evaluated neither feasible methods for the assessment of anthropometric profile nor indirect methods to estimate energy expenditure (EE) for adapted athletes. The primary aim is to develop and validate new RMR prediction models, for the estimation of the resting metabolic rate from anthropometric variables in young Mexican Paralympic athletes; our second objective is to evaluate the agreement between RMR and the prediction models of Cunningham, Harris-Benedict, Henry, Valencia, Chun, Nightingale & Gorgey, FAO/WHO, Mifflin, Müller, Owen, and our own models. A comparative cross-sectional quantitative study was designed. Participants report to the testing laboratory only once for data collection. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology criteria guidelines for cross-sectional research (STROBE) is followed in the design/reporting of this study.
Evaluating the use of peri-operative blood flow restriction therapy surrounding anterior cruciate ligament tear
This study seeks to determine the prevalence of knee and ankle tendinopathies in youth basketball players, as well as determine the efficacy of a Basketball specific Neuromuscular training warm-up in reducing injuries.
Background: To assess the impact of pre-season clinical measures and rotator muscles strength on the risk of significant shoulder injury (SSI) in elite adolescent badminton players Design: Prospective cohort study Participants: Nine elite adolescents badminton players were included and followed from September 2018 to May 2019. Independent variables: A pre-season visit consisted in clinical and isokinetic shoulder strength testing. Isokinetic internal and external rotator shoulder muscles strength was tested at 60, 120 and 240°/s. Conventional and functional (eccentric-to-concentric) ratios (FR) were calculated. SSI collection was performed by an experienced sport physician.
The objective of the study was to determine the effects of plyometric training on agility in national cricket players. The study design was Randomized Controlled Trial. 40 cricket players were included in the study through open epi tool out of which n=20 players were in experimental group and n=20 players were in control group. Assessments were taken as baseline on first week, on third week and on sixth week by performing few exercises such as Illinois Agility Run test, T test and Vertical jump test.
Purpose: To compare standard or technology integrated workshop delivery on coaches' measured ability to and confidence in recognizing for errors for key components of exercises in a soccer neuromuscular training (NMT) warm-up. Research in this area is needed to measure how effective NMT warm-up workshops are on educating coaches and if technology integration into the workshop improves their understanding as these measures are unknown to date. Background: Injury prevention strategies such as using a NMT warm-up has been successful in reducing injuries (Emery, Roy, Whittaker, Nettel-Aguirre, & van Mechelen, 2015). NMT warm-up workshops are provided to educate coaches however there are adoption issues for the coaches (van Reijen, Vriend, van Mechelen, Finch, & Verhagen, 2016). An effective workshop is designed to enhance a coaches' self-efficacy and have a practical portion to work through the exercises (Emery, 2015; Steffen et al., 2013). iPad applications such as the Move Improve application are utilized to enhance peer to peer learning and provide feedback for the subject performing the exercise. Research Plan: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be performed with clubs from the Calgary Minor Soccer Association (CMSA). Coaches from the recruited clubs will be randomized to attend one of two types of workshops : 1) intervention group (technology integrated coach NMT warm-up workshop) and 2) control group (standard NMT warm-up workshop.The control workshop is a two-hour workshops that includes an information period, on field instruction and partnered practice for all soccer NMT exercises. The technology-based workshop which is a two-hour workshop that includes on field exercise instruction and then partnered practice with use of the Move Improve mobile application for all soccer NMT exercises. All coaches (n=100; 50 per group) prior to the workshop commencing interested participants with be asked to fill out the consent form, the soccer NMT demographic information form and the Soccer NMT warm-up exercise self-efficacy questionnaire. Following the workshop, coaches will be asked to complete Soccer NMT warm-up exercise self-efficacy questionnaire again and the soccer NMT warm-up exercise test.
This is a three-armed intervention study that evaluates the injury preventive effects of three different training interventions in youth and adult football players. Two intervention arms are randomized and one arm acts as a non-randomized comparison group. Half of randomized participants will receive a general injury prevention exercise program with emphasis on the lower extremities, and the other half a hip/groin focused injury prevention exercise. A third group of participants who already use an injury prevention exercise program at study inclusion are invited to participate as a non-randomized comparison group and continue their usual training practices.
A study is proposed to test whether adding additional referees to youth soccer matches may reduce the risk of injury to the children playing soccer. Publicly-open youth soccer games will be randomly assigned to have either one or three referees and videotaped. The videotaped games will then be watched to record risk-taking behavior by players, referee decisions, and other factors relevant to potential injury.
Volleyball players have a high injury risk as a consequence of the specific sport characteristics, as repetitive jumps and falls. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a multidisciplinary injury prevention program on lower limb stability in young volleyball players. It was spected to improve the stability of the lowe limb and, as a consecuence, to reduce the injury risk of the most common injuries in volleyball.
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).
