title: Comparison of the effect of semi-rigid ankle bracing on performance among injured v. non-injured adolescent female hockey players
date: 2014-10-15
words: 3560
flesch: 53
summary: [1,2] Poor dynamic proprioception among hockey players often leads to ankle injuries, because the proprioceptors do not send impulses to the central nervous system quickly to ensure that the efferent neurons innervate the appropriate muscles to maintain joint stability. The association of the increased body mass and occurrence of ankle injuries among hockey players has not been established in previous studies.

summary: In relation to crossing the ball, wide players delivered more crosses than any other player. While previous research using semi-automatic video analysis provided useful information about physical indicators of football players, little attention has been given to information on the technical demands of players.[5] Research has shown technical and tactical abilities are considered important for success in soccer.[6]

title: Absolute and relative reliability of SCRuM test battery components assembled for schoolboy rugby players playing competitive rugby in low-resource settings: A pragmatic in-season test-retest approach
date: 2021-12-13
words: 5889
flesch: 60
summary: Test batteries that are logically validated to the needs of the young rugby players, which also contain practically feasible and reliable tests are more likely to be relevant for use in the TID programs. Therefore, following the development of the first version of the SCRuM (School Clinical Rugby Measure) test battery and subsequent evaluation of face recognition methods, logical validity and practical feasibility of the component test items [4-6], the specific objectives of this study were to identify test items in the SCRuM test battery with an acceptable coefficient of variation and high intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) as a measure of absolute and relative reliability among a sample of young rugby players.

words: 4709
flesch: 58
summary: Asymmetry of the trunk muscles and the effect of injury on the trunk muscle morphometry in the prediction of potential injury has been well described.[1, 9] However, compared to other sporting codes, studies investigating the relationship between pace bowling performance and trunk muscle stability, information on strength-endurance, and trunk muscle thickness are lacking in the literature. Although it is very tempting to recommend that trunk muscle thickness be increased to increase ball release speed, when analysing the role of age, height and weight, confounding relationships became apparent.

summary: Such conditions are likely to induce both mental and physical fatigue and could result in players being at an increased risk of injury.[8] The COVID-19 pandemic has increased symptoms of depression and anxiety, including sleep and mood disturbances, in footballers.[9] BSE restrictions ran the risk of amplifying these factors as players faced isolation, even from teammates. Introspection was also identified as a tool for cricketers facing BSE situations.

words: 4289
flesch: 49
summary: Knee OA and its sequelae place a significant health burden on individuals and healthcare services worldwide, with affected individuals often unable to work, dependent on medication to complete activities of daily living (ADLs), and in many cases requiring surgical intervention (e.g. total knee replacement, TKR).[5] The diagnosis of knee OA, based on suggestive clinical features (e.g. activity-related joint pain, functional impairment), is often supported by the presence of joint space narrowing on radiographic examination.[6] Previous studies have estimated the prevalence of knee OA in retired footballers to be as high as 80%,[4] with retired footballers three times more likely to report a diagnosis of knee OA than those in an age- matched general population.[2] The interpretation of this high prevalence is limited by the fact that the definition of knee OA varies across epidemiological studies, with radiological (e.g. x- ray) knee OA, clinical knee OA (e.g. physical signs and symptoms), self-reported knee OA, all being considered in addition to those on the waiting list for (or having received) knee arthroplasty for knee OA. This is consistent with a broad body of literature highlighting that radiological findings are not necessarily consistent with clinical findings.[25] Moderate correlation was found between clinical knee OA and KOOS-SP, indicating that pain and function may be a more useful guide to determine the presence and impact of knee OA in retired male professional footballers.

title: ‘Do we know if we need to reduce head impact exposure?’: A mixed-methods study highlighting the varied understanding of the longterm risk and consequence of head impact exposure across all stakeholders at the highest level of rugby union
date: 2022-10-12
words: 6961
flesch: 52
summary: Therefore, the aims of this study were to describe: (1) how contact training is managed at the elite level of rugby, and (2) how staff and players at this level perceive head impacts and ways to reduce head impact exposure. The findings suggest that elite clubs conduct low levels of contact training; however, participants believe that some exposure is required to prepare players and that efforts to reduce head impact exposure must allow for individualised contact training prescription.

title: Dietary supplements and beverages: Knowledge, attitudes, and practices among semi-professional soccer players in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
date: 2022-11-10
words: 4548
flesch: 52
summary: Soccer players commonly consume dietary supplements, and sports and energy beverages, before, during, or after a soccer match.[2] Sports beverages, are typically ingested to hydrate and restore electrolytes and carbohydrates; whereas energy beverages have caffeine as the main ingredient, with the goal of improving cognitive ability.[3] Soccer is a competitive sport that involves intermittent, high-intensity activities interposed with low-intensity activities.[3] A decline in any performance component can decide the outcome of a soccer match. Therefore, the strategic use of substances that improve hydration, energy and cognitive ability to enhance performance is attractive to soccer players.[4] Commercially available dietary supplements and beverages appeal to athletes for their supposed ergogenic effect, mainly due to aggressive marketing strategies.[5] Studies have reported widespread usage of dietary supplements in soccer players.

Once a concussion is suspected (through either of the recommended methods), a medical professional trained in concussion management should immediately implement the five step on-field management procedure outlined in Figure 1.

summary: First, what are the characteristics of running performance of a runner with CP compared to able‑bodied runners? Thus both the 2011 time trials and the projected values for his 2000 Paralympic performance support the Joyner model of running performance, and suggest that the primary difference between this elite runner with CP and elite able‑ bodied runners is dominantly related to an increase in the CR.[1] His ability to adapt and have a very good performance despite the limitations imposed by CP appears attributable to his ability to recruit accessory muscles to overcome the limitations imposed by CP.

summary: The finding of this radiopenic centre and the absence of connection to the adjacent bone, the so called cleavage plane, further aids in the differentiation of MO from malignant lesions of bone.[9] Management of early MO consists of rest, ice, compression and elevation followed by physiotherapy to regain strength, proprioception and flexibility. However even during the mature phase there is a risk of reoccurrence following resection.[7] Conclusion This case report demonstrates that MO can have an insidious onset without a clear history of blunt traumatic muscle injury.

summary: Thus, results should be taken with caution, with the possibility that the greater reduction in VAS pain ratings in the CG compared to the control group could be a psychological benefit as opposed to physiological.[17] Conclusion In conclusion, the wearing of upper leg CGs while running a marathon race did not improve race performance, change post- race mid-thigh circumference, or improve Likert scores for muscle pain. Participants were tested on three occasions for various subjective markers of exercise-induced muscle damage (Visual analogue scale (VAS) pain rating score, and Likert scale for muscle pain), mid-thigh circumference for muscle swelling, and running performance (race pace).

summary: In forecasting match results in cricket, factors are categorised under two covariate groups; pre-match, which predicts the outcome prior to the match; and in-play, which predicts the outcome while the match is in progress.[3] Pre-match covariates relate to several aspects that have been identified to impact upon match outcome. Additionally, it would be beneficial to make use of binary logistic regression, in conjunction with dynamic logistic regression, during the match as it is probable that this may provide a more accurate prediction of match outcome based upon ongoing events (e.g. deliveries remaining, wickets taken).

This could be due to the fact that more seam deliveries are bowled in the first 25 balls (power play) when the ball is new and swinging, compared to when the spinners bowl later on in the match.

title: Female cricket pace bowling: kinematic and anthropometric relationships with ball release speed
date: 2023-06-05
words: 3906
flesch: 54
summary: Although female participation and professionalism has increased in recent years, there remains a lack of research into female cricket.[12] Early research comparing male and female pace bowling biomechanics has found differences in ball release speed, run-up speed, and the kinematics at back foot contact, front foot contact and ball release.[13] These findings suggest females may utilise a different movement pattern to generate BRS compared to males, and that extrapolating information from research conducted on male pace bowlers to coach female pace bowlers is potentially erroneous.[14] Nevertheless, coaches working with female pace bowlers are restricted due to the current coaching pedagogy being derived on studies conducted using male bowlers. This study therefore aims to investigate whether previously reported kinematic and anthropometric relationships with BRS in male pace bowlers exist for female pace bowlers.

summary: Thereafter, performance declined, with the rate of decline increasing with increasing age, simi- lar to that found in the runners at an earlier age. Exercise has been shown in some studies to reduce age-related declines in strength, aer- obic capacity, flexibility and physical function.14 However, while exercise can reduce the rate of decline in age-related exercise capacity, it cannot reduce the absolute effect of aging on the reduction in functional capacity.21 An examina- tion of the changes in athletic performances associated with aging, and particularly age-group records for athletic activity, provides an assessment of the effect of age on physical per- formance.

summary: It has been shown that strenuous endurance exercise affects the airways by increasing the incidence of upper res- piratory tract infections (URTIs) related to bacterial or viral infections26,29 and respiratory symptoms such as exercise- induced bronchoconstriction (EIB)1,16 or airway hyperrespon- siveness (AHR).22,33 There is therefore, limited data on the response of eosinophils to a physiological challenge such as endurance exercise, and the possibility that these cells may be associated with the URTS reported after endurance exer- cise in non-allergic/asthmatic individuals is yet to be explored.

summary: The results of unchanged total WBC count and decreased CD4+ cell count in the current study are in agreement with the study on footballers,7 whereas while the latter showed only a tendency for CD8+ cell count to decline, our study showed a significant decline. This suggests a shift from specific immunity (CD4 cells) to non- specific immunity (CD8 cytotoxic cells), or suppression of certain B- and T-cell mediated immune functions in these athletes.

title: Dietary macronutrient recommendations for optimal recovery post-exercise: Part I

flesch: 54
summary: Restoration of liver glycogen stores is important for optimal maintenance of blood glucose concen- trations, which serve as the predominant fuel source to the brain and central nervous system,38 as well as to the working muscles when muscle glycogen becomes depleted.4,19,55 However, restoration of muscle glycogen in the post-exercise period takes precedence over liver glycogen restoration, which, even in the absence of dietary CHO supply, can occur at a low rate (~ 1 - 2 mmol/kg wet weight (ww)/hour), with some of the substrate being provided through gluconeogen- esis.3 Therefore, Part I of this article focuses on aspects increasing the rate of muscle glycogen recovery specifically. Similarly, Ivy et al.29 found no difference in muscle glycogen synthesis rate between the ingestion of 0.75 vs. 1.5 g CHO/kg BW/hour (provided at 2-hourly inter- vals) over a 4-hour period post-exercise.

summary: Additionally, creatine may play a role in glycogen synthe- sis, mediated by drawing water via an osmotic effect into the intracellular compartment.5,74 It is, however, important to note that some people might be non-responders to creatine supplementation and there- fore not gain any benefit from it.39 The reason for this is not clear but might be linked to habitual dietary habits (fish and meat consumption), as well as muscle fibre composition.39 Combination of protein with other substrates CHO and protein The insulinotrophic and endocrine effects of combined pro- tein and CHO may attenuate muscle breakdown64 and increase muscle protein synthesis.58 Chandler and co-work- ers14 found significantly higher plasma insulin levels post- exercise when experienced male weight lifters consumed isocaloric CHO (1.5 g CHO/kg BW/serving) and CHO-protein (1.06 g CHO + 0.41 g protein/kg BW/serving) supplements compared with an isocaloric protein only (1.38 g protein/kg BW/serving), as well as a control supplement. The insulinotrophic and endocrine effects of combined protein and CHO ingestion (~0.8 g CHO/kg BW/hour + 0.2 - 0.4 g protein/kg BW/hour) may reduce muscle breakdown and increase muscle protein syn- thesis in the post-exercise period.

flesch: 59
summary: However, there is limited evidence regarding the presence of muscle imbalances and postural abnormalities in water polo players. It has been established that if a malalignment in the posture is present, it may indicate that there is a muscle imbalance; thus postural orientation may play a role in sport performance.[13] A study by Gradidge et al. showed that there is a relationship between poor shoulder posture and shoulder injury in water polo players.[14] The limited research into posture and shoulder muscle strength in water polo players makes this study important in assisting with the identification of these muscle imbalances and specific postural characteristics, which will be useful in future studies.

summary: Specifically, time trial performances were compared in a single group of highly trained cyclists to determine whether a multiple carbohydrate drink (glucose: fructose in a 2:1 ratio) confers a performance advantage over that of a single carbohydrate drink (glucose-polymer only), the physiological parameters of lactate, insulin and glucose concentrations, substrate oxidation (total, endogenous and exogenous) and respiratory exchange, will be measured, which may explain the underlying mechanisms that relate to any performance differences. This is further supported by Bauer et al.[15] The present study’s objective was to determine whether a more modest concentration of mixed carbohydrate drink (12%) can increase carbohydrate oxidation above 1 g/min and thereby improve performance.

date: 2006-02-03
words: 4427
flesch: 57
summary: In conclusion, the basic epidemiological data collected at the 2003 Cricket World Cup should assist organisers of future Cricket World Cup competitions to predict patient presentation rates. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patient presentation data for spectators attending the opening ceremony and all the 2003 Cricket World Cup matches played in South Africa in order to provide organ- isers with the basis of a sound medical care plan for mass gatherings of a similar nature.

A primary objective was to examine circulating neutrophil count after repeated bouts of downhill running.

Although they may be valuable in assessing flexibility and musculoskeletal function for health-related fitness, it is possible that at the level of elite soccer players, the movement tasks are far removed from the requirements of an actual game.

flesch: 42
summary: In all cases, the IAAF states that if testes are present, they should be removed to avoid malignancy.7 The Canadian Academy of Sports Medicine (CASM) recommendations The 1997 CASM position statement on sex testing (gender verifi- cation) in sport suggests that there is no evidence that the initial justification and reasons for sex testing, which were to prevent men from masquerading as female athletes, are relevant today.9 They mention that (i) the use of communal dressing rooms and showers, (ii) the clothing worn by female athletes, (iii) current protocols used for drug testing in urine, and (iv) the athlete’s personal and sport- ing history, significantly reduces the likelihood of men competing as women at an international level. The incidence has been estimated as approximately 1 in 5 000 births, but can be as high as 1.7% when conditions such as Turner’s and Kleinfelters’s syndrome are included.6 The classification of the intersex disorders is challenging and controversial, but these condi- tions were recently grouped under the collective name disorder(s) of sex development (DSD) by the international intersex consensus conference.10 DSD is not a single disorder but rather a spectrum of conditions ranging from those with ambiguous external genitalia, those with external female genitalia and varying degrees of internal testis.2,10 History of sex verification The current practices and beliefs with respect to the science and management of sex testing in sport need to be understood in its historical context.

summary: On the other hand, compared with injuries sustained from running and racquet sports, soccer injuries were found to be more serious. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 3 in the USA, soccer injuries in male players accounted for 4.6% and 3.8% of non-fatal, unintentional sports- and recreation-related injuries in the 15 -19-year and 20 - 24-year age groups, respectively.

summary: [6] Although much of the dynamics of the force production in a scrum as a whole is yet to be revealed, the production of individual scrummaging force is thought to be related to anthropometrical, [6] physiological [6,7] as well as biomechanical factors. It was hypothesised firstly, that individual scrummaging forces would decline as a result of the match simulation, and secondly, that individual scrummaging kinematics would be negatively affected.

title: Low 25(OH) vitamin D concentrations in international UK track and field athletes
date: 2012-06-20
words: 4615
flesch: 60
summary: Recent population studies have illustrated a significant prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the general population,14-17 and athletes also seem to be susceptible.18-20 Serum 25(OH)D is widely accepted as a biomarker for vitamin D status.21 While some debate persists as to optimal levels of 25(OH)D for health, it is generally accepted that levels of 20 - 30 mcg/l represent vitamin D insufficiency while levels below 20 mcg/l and 10 mcg/l are defined as deficient and severely deficient, respectively.10 Vitamin D is unique among nutrients in that almost all diets contain very little vitamin D and production primarily occurs in the skin, after exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) sunlight.10,22 Vitamin D cannot be effectively absorbed in the autumn and winter months in the UK because of the angle of the sun and atmospheric UVB absorption.23,24 In the UK, reduced levels of 25(OH)D have been reported in a number of studies.25-28 A large study of post- menopausal women reported 77% of women with 25(OH)D levels <28 mcg/l.27 Deficiencies have also been noted in 78% of patients attending a UK rheumatology clinic26 and over 90% of an Asian cohort during a UK winter.25 It has been widely recognised that mean 25(OH)D levels are lower in dark-skinned individuals at all ages, with greater risk of insufficiency and deficiency.29-31 The role of vitamin D in calcium regulation and bone health has been well established,1 but recent evidence has identified associations between vitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease, cancer of the prostate, breast and colon, as well as all-cause mortality.2-11 As vitamin D has over 1 000 human genes as direct targets, including skeletal muscle, heart, lungs and adrenal medulla,12,13 there may be potentially significant consequences of vitamin D deficiency on athletic performance.

summary: These results do not suggest that ultra-distance runners are at an increased risk from taking NSAIDs above the recommended dose, but only as compared with marathon runners. The aims of this study were: (i) to evaluate and compare the prevalence of NSAID and other analgesic use during the training, competition and recovery phases of an endurance race in two cohorts (ultra-endurance runners and marathon runners); and (ii) to examine whether participants in both cohorts used NSAIDs in accordance with the recommended dose or in excess thereof.

date: 2012-03-30
words: 5154
flesch: 55
summary: Users of NSAIDs Both NSAID users and non-users were included in this study following recent findings that although markers of muscle inflammation are changed by NSAID usage, degree of muscle damage is unaffected.21,22 Nieman et al.2 reported that NSAID users did not have reduced race times, muscle damage or DOMS, while Friden and Lieber6 reported that administration of NSAIDs after eccentric exercise resulted in a short-term benefit of pain relief, but a long-term detrimental effect on muscle adaptation, inhibiting protein synthesis by suppressing the inflammatory reaction. These are generally regarded as more strenuous than road running due to the nature of the trails, which can involve diverse challenges including single track paths on steep ascends and descends in mountains, crossing rivers and running along grasslands and through forests.2 Although physiological response to single-day trail running has been assessed,1-4 the cumulative effects of multi-day trail running on markers of muscle damage and inflammation have not yet been reported.

summary: However, predicting age using the degree of fusion of the left distal radius of the wrist as a method to verify chronological age may lack the accuracy needed and may result in many false-positive or false-negative results, until a normative study is carried out on black Africans. Whereas standard radiographs with the attendant radiation risk cannot be justified as the screening tool in soccer populations, age estimation on the basis of grading of fusion of the distal radius by MRI has been shown to be a reliable and valid method in 14 - 19-year-old soccer players.[11] In Ghana, chronological age has often been a difficult challenge, as registration at birth is not compulsory.

summary: The knee was the most susceptible anatomical site to musculoskeletal injury (p<0.001), in agreement with previous findings.[6,16] Puckree et al.[6] documented that the presence of deviant Q-angles among male runners predisposes them to musculoskeletal knee injury. This suggests that Q-angle deviation was a predisposing factor to musculoskeletal knee injuries among these male runners.

summary: Ankle injuries are common when the players are involved in these types of activities.[1] The lateral ankle ligament complex is the most vulnerable to injury, with 85 - 95% of all injuries to the ankle occurring here.[2] Prospective epidemiological studies suggest that ankle injuries account for 8 - 20% of all injuries in rugby:[3] 10% of the injuries recorded for New Zealand players in the Super 12;[4] 11% in international Australian players;[5] 14% in international players at the 2003 World Cup; and 20% in Scottish district players.[6] In South Africa a study revealed 55.4 injuries per 1 000 player game hours and 4.3 injuries per 1 000 player training hours in the Super 12 competition, with 7 (11.3%) ankle injuries sustained in total.[7] Ankle injuries are one of the most common injuries in sport and have a high recurrence rate.

summary: Optimising dietary intake and body composition can positively affect the performance of rugby players. Objectives. [13] The nutritional requirements of rugby players differ depending on playing position, duration and frequency of matches, length of the rugby season, training phase and, as discussed above, position- specific tasks and physique requirements.[12] Objective To the researchers’ knowledge, a comprehensive study of the combina tion of body composition, and habitual and match-day dietary intake of semi-professional and professional rugby players in SA has not been published.

title: Effect of caffeine ingestion on fluid balance during exercise in the heat and during recovery
date: 2014-06-15
words: 4042
flesch: 51
summary: Only those who regularly consumed <50 mg of caffeine per day were recruited in order to create an extreme-end pattern, since a caffeine-naive population is believed to be more responsive to the effects of caffeine ingestion on fluid balance.[6] A data- collection period <6 hours is often considered to cover an acute response to caffeine, and previous research has questioned whether or not such an acute response could be generalised to real-life applications.[18] While we could not totally rule out that body water loss (e.g. due to further urine production) may still occur at 6 hours, 12 hours, or after longer time periods after caffeine ingestion, it is our opinion that the current protocol duration would representatively depict a clear picture of the effect of caffeine on fluid balance under the test conditions.

summary: For this reason, dietary supplements have been used by athletes for many years to boost, even by small margins, their strength and per- formance. The practice of using dietary supplements among the population at large and athletes at all levels of competition has led to a huge, continuously growing, multibillion dollar industry with a worldwide market estimated at more than $142 billion in 2011 and expected to rise to $205 billion by 2017.[5] Coupled with aggressive marketing techniques in which bold as well as unsubstantiated claims are frequently made, this explosive growth has been further fuelled in many countries worldwide which have acts similar to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), which was passed by the US Congress in 1994.

summary: With regard to specific positions (Table 2 and Figure 1), the hypothesis that RAEs would be more prevalent in back row players than in Background: Recent research in a French context suggested that relative age effects (RAEs) in rugby union may be influenced by playing position; specifically, that RAEs may be more pronounced in back row players who do not have as extreme an anthropomorphic profile as other forward positions. Results: The hypothesis that RAEs would be more pronounced in back row players was not supported.

flesch: 44
summary: In addition, confidence has long been considered critical to success in competitive athletics.[10] Confidence is viewed as being central to not only the precise execution of sport-specific skills, but to the development of fundamental movement skill proficiency among adolescents.[11] Given the apparent importance of confidence in the acquisition of basic athletic competencies and the execution of advanced skills, it seems logical to explore the contribution that mindfulness might make to confidence. This conceptualisation of confidence seems to be primarily informed by theories on cognitive appraisal and coping.[12-13] Confidence could thus be viewed as an individual’s subjective appraisal of their ability to successfully meet a specific challenge.

summary: Spontaneous pneumothorax can further be subdivided into two groups: primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), where there is no history of underlying lung pathology; and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP), where there is pre-existing lung pathology.[1-3] PSP is more common in males, with an incidence of 7.4 - 18 cases/100 000/year in males, and 1.2 - 6 cases/100 000/year in females.[2,3] Other risk factors include smoking and being a tall, thin male between the ages of 10 and 30 years.[3] Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) occurs in the absence of any underlying lung pathology,[1-3] and although it is a well-recognised and well-described cause of acute- onset chest pain, the prevalence of this condition in the athletic community is uncommon.

summary: definitions of moderate exercise of 3 - 4 METS (metabolic equivalent where 1 MET=3.5 ml O2 consumed/kg body weight/minute)10 or any activity that is equivalent in intensity to brisk walking can also be applied in pregnancy.1,5,9 In a meta-analysis study of exercise and pregnancy, it was reported that with exercise intensities of 81% of maximum heart rate, no significant adverse effects were found.7 Likewise, the ACOG guidelines has no heart rate limitation and therefore also supports a more liberal approach.2 An alternative to heart rate for monitoring exercise intensity, is the rate of perceived exertion. It has been shown that as a result of the variability of maternal heart rate responses to exercise, target heart rates cannot be used to monitor exercise intensity in pregnancy.

summary: According to the YPD model, more attention should be focused on aerobic conditioning as the athlete approaches adulthood (+21 years of age).2 Lloyd and Oliver argue that an athlete will be exposed to sport-specific aerobic activities during middle childhood and pre- puberty adolescence, whether in competition or skills training. Fundamental movement skills and sport skills are cultivated through games and play, with the primary goal being enjoyment and fun, with less emphasis on winning.

Further, the pelvic floor may need to be considered if all other signs of groin pain have been cleared.

flesch: 55
summary: This could increase the chance of ACL sprains and the risk of ACL injury.[12] The most common mechanism of injury in this study did involve a solid foot plant with rotation of the knee and valgus stress on the knee, which corresponds well with the findings in the study by Sturnick et al., as a more prominent medial tibial spine could prevent the knee from a twist or valgus type injury mechanism.[12] The mechanism of ACL injury identified in this study as occurring most frequently is also identified in another published review that found that most ACL injuries do not occur solely via sagittal, frontal or transverse plane mechanisms.[13] Collectively, the results showed that ACL injuries are more likely to occur during multi-planar rather than single-planar mechanisms of injury.[13] A study by Yu and Garrett on ACL injuries in soccer players found that sagittal plane biomechanical factors such as small knee flexion angle, considerable posterior ground reaction force and quadriceps muscle force may be associated with significant quadriceps muscle force, in turn causing substantial anterior draw force at the knee.[14] The increase in ACL injuries in recent years in athletes as well as in the general population is concerning.[1]

summary: IF… A tendon parody by Jon Patricios (with apologies to Rudyard Kipling, Jill Cook & Hakan Alfredson) If you can get your head around a tendon That wears and tears and hurts when it’s a bendin’ If you can trust yourself to make Achilles new But make allowance for frustration too; If you can wait but not be idle waiting, But teach and guide and empathise, Don’t mind being hated, or cry anticipating, At times not look too good nor seem too wise: If you can dream of healing that is faster, But know that symptoms too will wax and wane; Accept the days of Triumph and Disaster And understand each course may just not be the same; If you can bear to hear the moans being spoken By athletes often keen to break the rules, And picture collagen that has been broken But slowly mends again with all your tools: If you don’t hinge your hopes on single fixes Nor risk it all on just one consultation (They’ll leave and seek some other weird elixirs And worse – not pay you any consolation!)

For example, hunter-gatherers covered about 6 - 16 km per day, with daily energy expenditure for physical activity of 800 - 1 200 kcal – this is 3 - 5 times more than that of the average modern-day American.

summary: The bias arises as a result of teams playing more matches against teams within their conference than other teams within the competition, and therefore the final log position represents a team’s strength relative to their own conference more than their overall strength. Teams paired in competitive bouts would be disadvantaged, and teams paired off against teams that are relatively weaker, regardless of their own absolute strength, would be advantaged.

title: Anterior knee pain and its extrinsic risk factors among runners in under-resourced communities in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, South Africa
date: 2019-04-30
words: 4566
flesch: 62
summary: It is therefore critical that the intrinsic risk factors be considered in the management of AKP in order to improve management outcomes.[7] Establishing extrinsic risk factors is another important component to be considered when dealing with the management of AKP. Extrinsic factors which are external to the body may include: the action of running, the level of participation (including training and competition), other types of physical activities and the way they are performed, running surfaces, environmental conditions, and the effect of the equipment encountered during physical activities, e.g. air resistance, gravity and ground reaction forces, and shoes.[2] No previous studies have reported on the association between extrinsic risk factors and AKP in runners from under-resourced South African communities.

summary: The increased stretch tolerance and pain threshold after stretching, combined with the above neurological mechanisms, should facilitate increased knee range of movement (ROM) and hamstring muscle length following hamstring CRAC stretching. Note that an increase in AKE indicates increased hamstring flexibility.

The use of these advanced approaches has made new methods more feasible and accessible, allowing for a greater volume of data to be collected in less time.[5] To obtain physical performance indicators among soccer players, a variety of methods, such as visual evaluation, the Global Positioning System, and the semi-automated multi-camera tracking system have all been recommended in the literature.[6]

summary: Ketone body supplements are commonly composed of β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB) combined with a salt, such as potassium, calcium or sodium (Na- βHB)[4], which are then known as ketone salts. Pure βHB salts cost approximately $235 (R3370) for 50g. This converts to approximately $67 (R960) per 12g of βHB salts, yet wholesale ketone body supplements containing up to 12g of βHB salts per sachet are being sold for as little as $2.80 (R40)

summary: For example, in addition to the 21% - 30% contribution to total scrum force, loose forwards also assist the tight five players by improving scrum stability.[14,16,20] du Toit et al.[14] showed that the largest lateral force application angles were produced by tight-head flankers. However, Quarrie and Wilson[15] failed to show a relationship between scrum force and strength in a modified isometric mid-thigh pull.

summary: The majority (89%) of serious injuries occurred on cement surfaces.[9] However, limited data on netball injuries in South Africa is available, and only at senior level or during match play at a specific tournament.[1,8] Data on the epidemiology of injuries can contribute to the development of programmes for the prevention of injuries. Specifically, the study was conducted to report data on the following aspects of injuries in netball players: the incidence of injuries by age group; the number and proportion of injuries by player position, namely goal attack (GA), wing attack (WA), goal defence (GD), goal shooter (GS), centre (C), wing defence (WD) and goalkeeper (GK), as well as the number and proportion of injuries by anatomical site in the various age groups; the type of injuries in the various age groups; the number and proportion of injuries during play times (match versus practice injury, and the playing quarter for match injuries) per age group.

summary: In a study by Yarbrough et al. which investigated the acute onset of neurological symptoms in children with CM-I, half of all cases described were following minor head trauma. The safety of sports participation in patients with asymptomatic CM-I, especially in contact or collision sports, is still debated, considering the incidence of concussion in male football players is relatively low (1.08 concussions per 1000 athlete exposures, where one exposure is considered a single practice or game).[6] A study by Meehan et al. describing 147 athletes with CM-I from different sporting codes who were followed over time, reported that not one sustained a catastrophic injury over the 3 year period.[7]

summary: Sprint training programmes for rugby players should focus on developing acceleration qualities for all playing positions, with the greater emphasis on backline players. The authors further reported that forwards completed the greatest number of repeated high-intensity efforts (RHIE) over a full match than backs.[11] Previous studies have found that backline players covered a higher number of sprints and accelerations than forward players.[12,13] Despite the physical demands of rugby union players in professional leagues, [7, 11] there is a paucity of information on university players in South Africa.

summary: Surprisingly, there have been few studies investigating the effects of resistance training on ball release velocity in cricket.[2-4] Furthermore, to our knowledge, there have been no studies demonstrating a meaningful increase (>5 km·h-¹) in ball release velocity (defined as the peak speed between ball release and ball bounce) in cricket pace bowlers following resistance training. These studies collectively suggest that resistance training would be beneficial for improving ball release velocity.

title: The prevalence and severity of lower back pain in South African university rowers
date: 2021-03-25
words: 3527
flesch: 56
summary: The use of different scales and methods to measure LBP severity in university-level rowers has presented a challenge when attempting to draw accurate comparisons between the abovementioned studies. Furthermore, it can be speculated that spinal loading combined with the repetitive spinal flexion seen in the rowing stroke may accelerate the degeneration of the vertebral discs.[20] This early degeneration seen in the spine of rowers, combined with the general age- related vertebral changes, may explain the demonstration of the weak relationship of LBP severity and aging.

title: Comparing critical speed modelling approaches and exploring relationships with match-play variables in elite male youth soccer players
date: 2021-07-01
words: 4898
flesch: 56
summary: The differences in CS values between the bi-exponential and traditional methods can be attributed to the fact that the bi- exponential models detect when shuttle speeds level off, instead of calculating from a standardised final 30 seconds. This relationship also exists in running, where the terms critical speed (CS) and D-prime (D′) are used instead.[2] Research on collegiate female distance runners has also shown that the 3MT is equally effective for measurements of CS and D′,[5] but there was a lack of interchangeability of results from a linear 3MT to an intermittent repeated-sprint based scenario.
