As sports technology has continued to develop, monitoring athlete workloads, performance, and recovery has demonstrated boundless benefits for athlete and team success. Specifically, technologies such as global positioning systems (GPS) and heart rate (HR) monitors have granted the opportunity to delve deeper into performance contributors, and how variations may exist based upon context. A team of NCAA Division I women’s soccer athletes were monitored during games throughout one competitive season. Individual athlete, positional groups, and team external and internal workloads were explored for differences based upon game location, opponent ranking, game result, and the final score differential. Game location and opponent ranking were found to have no effect on team-wide absolute or relative external workloads, whereas game result and score differential did. Internal workloads across the team tended to only vary by game half, independent of game context; however, the HR of defenders was determined to be higher during losses as compared to wins (p = 0.0256). Notably, the games that resulted in losses also represented the games with the fewest number of substitutions. These findings suggest high value in monitoring performance and workloads that are characteristic of varying, often multifaceted, contexts. It is hoped that this information can lead to more informed approaches to vital game-time and coaching decisions.

This study explored how members of a Division I varsity women’s soccer team experienced a 6-week, 12 session mindfulness meditation training for sport (MMTS) program. The coaching staff and entire team participated in the MMTS program. Seven of the team members volunteered to be interviewed after their participation in the MMTS program. Thematic analysis was implemented. Most participants reported difficulty understanding the process of meditation at the start of the MMTS program. Post-MMTS, they reported an enhanced ability to accept and experience a different relationship with their emotions, both on and off the field. They also noted the importance of creating a phrase of care for self and team for cohesion purposes. Enhanced mindfulness, awareness, and acceptance of emotional experiences were attributed directly to the mindfulness training. Participants provided specific recommendations for future sport-focused mindfulness meditation programs.

ABSTRACT Context: Training load and movement quality are associated with injury risk in athletes. Given these associations, it is important to understand how movement quality may moderate training load so that appropriate prevention strategies be employed. Objectives: To determine how absolute and relative internal training load change over the course of a men's NCAA soccer season, and determine how movement quality, assessed using the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS), moderates relative internal training load. Design: Prospective Cohort Study Setting: NCAA Division I athletics Patients or Other Participants: One NCAA Division I male collegiate soccer team was recruited and followed over two consecutive seasons. Fifty-two athletes (height = 1.81 ± .06 m, mass = 75.74 ± 6.64 kg, age = 19.71 ± 1.30 years) consented to participate and forty six met the criteria to be included in the final statistical analysis. Main Outcome Measures: Daily absolute internal training load was tracked over the course of two seasons using a rated perceived exertion scale and time which were subsequently used to calculate absolute and relative internal training loads. Movement quality was assessed using the LESS and categorized participants as poor movers (LESS >5) and good movers (LESS <4). Results: The 46 athletes included in the final analysis included 29 poor movers and 17good movers. Absolute (p < 0.001) and relative (p<0.001) internal training load differed across weeks of the season. However, movement quality did not moderate relative (p=0.264) internal training load. Conclusions: Absolute and relative training load changed across weeks of a male collegiate soccer season. Movement quality did not impact relative training load but further research with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm this result. Key Points:

scholarly journals Surgical Release of the Adductor Longus With or Without Sports Hernia Repair Is a Useful Treatment for Recalcitrant Groin Strains in the Elite Athlete

Adductor Longus

Background: Chronic strain and/or tendinopathy of the adductor longus tendon can be a cause of long-standing groin pain in the elite athlete, resulting in significant time lost from competition. Accurate diagnosis and treatment can expedite return to play. Purpose/Hypothesis: To evaluate return to sport and performance in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I football players and National Football League (NFL) players following adductor longus release with or without sports hernia repair. We hypothesized that adductor release will be an effective method of treatment for recalcitrant groin/adductor pain in these athletes. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A cohort study was performed of all NFL players and NCAA Division I college athletes who had undergone an adductor longus tendon release with or without sports hernia repair by 1 of 2 fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons between May 1999 and January 2013. All patients reported groin pain below the inguinal ligament and localized to their adductor longus. Symptoms lasted longer than 10 weeks and limited their ability to effectively perform during sport, as assessed by their coach and self-assessment. Questionnaires were given to all 26 patients to assess long-term surgical outcomes. A subgroup analysis was performed for NFL players, in which “performance scores” were calculated according to individual player statistics while playing. Scores obtained before the diagnosis of chronic adductor longus tendinopathy or strain were compared with those after surgery. Patients with prior abdominal or pelvic surgery, radiographic evidence of degenerative joint disease of the hip, labral tears or femoral acetabular impingement, prostatic or urinary tract disease, or nerve entrapment of the ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, or lateral femoral cutaneous nerves were excluded from the study. Results: A total of 32 athletes underwent an adductor longus tenotomy during the study period. Of these patients, 28 were college- or professional-level athletes who underwent an adductor longus tenotomy, with a mean ± SD follow-up time of 6.2 ± 4.2 years (range, 12-178 months). Of the 32 patients, 20 had a concomitant sports hernia repair in addition to an adductor longus tenotomy. Thirty-one patients (97%) were able to return to their previous sport, and 30 (94%) were able to return at their previous level of play. Thirty patients (94%) reported that they were satisfied with their decision to have surgery. No player complained of weakness or a decrease in running speed or power. Mean return to play was 12 weeks from date of surgery. In the subgroup analysis of 16 NFL players, there were no statistically significant differences for the pre- versus postoperative comparisons of the athlete performance scores ( P = .74) and the percentage of the games started versus played ( P = .46). After separation of players who had a concomitant hernia repair from players who did not, there was no statistically significant difference in performance scores or percentages of games started. Conclusion: In this study of elite athletes, adductor longus tenotomy with or without a concomitant sports hernia repair provided overall acceptable and excellent results. Athletes were able to return to their previous level of athletic competition and performance with consistent relief of groin pain. Return to play in an NFL game averaged 12 weeks following surgery.
