Filter by:Aim Given the increasing occurrence of cases of cardiorespiratory arrest on soccer fields around the world, it seems pertinent to find out the degree of training and the attitude shown by the players and coaches themselves. The objective was to measure the knowledge and attitude of soccer professionals before and after a training intervention. Method After an exhaustive bibliographic review, a series of questions have been analyzed and selected, with which an ad hoc questionnaire has been prepared. This questionnaire has been completed by soccer players from the Spanish first division, male and female teams and their coaches. Once the data was collected, a training workshop was carried out to improve both the attitude and knowledge in relation to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Recent developments in football have seen the sudden death of young football player due to aortic rupture hence reinforcing the controversy of football as a field with substantial risk for sudden cardiac arrest and death. Moreover, there is an argument that aortic dilatation and the subsequent event of thoracic aortic aneurysm may be an occupational disease due to the nature of some vocations (i.e., military and security personnel, blue collar workers, weightlifters, athletes etc.). Of particular importance, there is some evidence that elite athletic training is associated with small but significantly larger aortic root diameter. The purpose of this study was to investigate aortic root adaptation to physical workload and to determine if aortic root's and left ventricle sizes are contingent upon the physical workload
