Resumen Objetivo: Analizar la relación existente según el género, la edad y el nivel de los jugadores de pádel con la cantidad de lesiones descritas por ellos mismos. Método: Participaron 148 jugadores (75 hombres, 73 mujeres, 33.95 ± 9.87 años). Se registraron un total de 151 lesiones clasificadas en función del tipo de lesión, localización anatómica y situación (entrenamiento o competición). Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo utilizando una adaptación de un cuestionario de lesiones deportivas autocompletado por los jugadores. Se utilizó la prueba de Chi-Cuadrado, los Residuos y la V de Cramer para conocer el grado de asociación entre las variables. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron: i) predominio de lesiones musculares en los miembros inferiores; ii) alto número de lesiones en el tronco en hombres y de los miembros superiores en mujeres (p = 0.046); iii) mayor índice de lesiones musculares en mayores de 35 años y tendinosas en menores de 35 años (p = 0.009); iv) mayor número de lesiones en jugadores de menor nivel, especialmente en tendones y hombro (p = 0.031). Conclusiones: Las lesiones más frecuentes en pádel son las musculares, localizadas en los miembros inferiores. El género masculino presenta más lesiones en el tronco mientras que el número de lesiones en mujeres se centra en el miembro superior. Los jugadores mayores de 35 años presentaron más lesiones musculares mientras que se registró un mayor número de lesiones tendinosas en menores de 35 años. Finalmente, el nivel de los jugadores está relacionado inversamente con el número de lesiones (a mayor nivel, menor número de lesiones). Abstract Objective: To analyze the relationship according to gender, age and level of padel players with the number of self-reported injury history. Method: A total of 148 players (75 men, 73 women, 33.95 ± 9.87 years old) take part in this study, from whom 151 injuries were registered and classified regarding the type, location and injury situation (training or competition). A retrospective, descriptive study was set out, using an adapted version of a self-reported sports injury questionnaire. Chi-Squared, Residuals and Cramer’s V were calculated to study the strength of association between variables. Results: Findings revealed: i) overall predominance of muscle injuries in the lower limbs; ii) greater number of trunk injuries in men and upper limbs in women (p = 0.046); iii) higher rate of muscular lesions in players older than 35 years and tendinosis in younger than 35 years (p = 0.009); iv) higher rate of injuries in lower level players, especially in tendons and shoulder (p = 0.031). Conclusions: Muscular accounted for the majority of injuries in padel, particularly on the lower limbs. Males reported more trunk injuries, whilst females suffered more on the upper limbs. Players older than 35 years informed more muscular injuries; by contrast, tendinous injuries prevailed in younger than 35 years. Finally, the level of players revealed an inverse relationship in the number of injuries (the higher the level, the lower the injury rate).

Abstract Introduction: In soccer, the players’ positions have been associated with specific functional overload, which may cause sports injuries. Objective: To investigate the occurrence and characterize sport injuries according to soccer player position. Methods: 232 male soccer players (129 professionals and 103 amateurs) from different sport teams in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, were distributed in groups according to their soccer player position. Besides anthropometric characteristics, sports injuries were registered by using a referred morbidity survey. The occurrence of injuries was analyzed by means of the Goodman Test. Logistic regression models were used to investigate the relationship between different risk factors and the occurrence/-recurrence of sports injuries. Results: Forwards showed higher occurrence rates of sport injuries than other soccer position groups. Joint injuries in lower limbs constituted the most frequent registered cases. Muscle injuries in the back region were the most registered sports injuries among midfielders, while muscle damages in lower limbs were the primary injuries registered for other line positions. In the etiologic context, contact was the main cause of sports injuries in all groups. Most athletes (195) reported recurrence of sports injuries. Conclusion: The occurrence of sports injuries was higher among forwards. Traumatic joint and muscle injuries were the most prevalent registers in all line positions.

Objective: To carry out an epidemiological analysis characterizing the type and location of the injury, severity based on recovery time, game position, and injury for hours of exposure. Methods: Data collection was carried out in the sub 15, sub 17, and sub 20 categories and verified records made by the medical team of the club, which was trained to use the F-MARC form (a form of the medical research center of the International Football Federation - FIFA) at the beginning of the season. To perform the data analysis, the GraphPad Prism software was used. All variables were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Results: In relation to the 129 athletes monitored during the season, 62 athletes presented some injury during the season, presenting 42.2 injuries for every 1000 hours of play, the Sub 15 category was the one with the highest incidence of injury, followed by the Sub17 and U20. The average time of leave after injury was 3.65 ± 4.2 weeks, the Defenders were the ones with the highest injury rate. There were 27 articular injuries (43.54%), 25 muscle injuries (40.32%), 9 bone injuries (15.41%), and one pathological injury (1.61%), and the most affected regions were ankle and knee. Conclusion: It is concluded that the moment of the game is the moment when the greatest number of injuries occurs, having a greater incidence in the athletes of the category Sub 15, the Defenders suffered more injuries and the Lower Limbs were more affected, mainly by articular traumas.

Ultrasound as a medical diagnosis tool, comprising the strengths of noninvasive, portable and cost-saving, and it allows the evaluation of soft tissue pathology. In sports medicine field, sonography technology is used for the detection and prevention of injuries of upper and lower limbs, mainly including elbow, shoulder, knee and ankle joints. The implement of ultrasound diagnosis technology was discussed in this narrative literature review. Sonographic images of elbows could provide a dynamic assessment of medial joint laxity. Due to the importance of ultrasound assessment in lower-limb muscles, tendons, and ligaments, this technology has been applied extensively for many types of extra-articular injuries in the lower limb. Most muscle injuries can be assessed and graded using the ultrasound apparatus. Overall, sonographic image evaluation is a reliable and handy method for the initial examination of acute or chronic sports injuries.

Context:  Soccer is the most popular junior sport in the world. In junior sports, injury analysis and injury-prevention measures for players, especially those under 12 years of age, are urgently needed. Objective:  To prospectively study the incidence, sites, types, and mechanisms of injuries in elementary school-aged junior soccer players during games and practices. Design:  Descriptive epidemiology study. Setting:  Elementary school-aged junior soccer teams in Nagoya, Japan. Patients or Other Participants:  Eighty-nine players in 5 community-based club teams of junior soccer (U-12, age range = 11–12 years; U-11, age range = 10–11 years; U-10, age ≤10 years). Main Outcome Measure(s):  Data on all game and practice injuries for the 2013–2014 season were collected using an injury report form. Injury rates were calculated according to injury site, type, and mechanism. Results:  The overall injury rate was 2.59/1000 athlete-hours (AHs). The game injury rate (GIR; 6.43/1000 AHs) was higher than the practice injury rate (PIR; 1.49/1000 AHs; P < .05). The most common anatomical areas of injury during games and practices were the lower limbs (62.5% and 4.02/1000 AHs versus 38.5% and 0.57/1000 AHs, respectively). Contusions (27.6%, n = 8) were the most frequent type of overall injuries. Most game injuries resulted from body contact (43.8%, 2.81/1000 AHs), whereas most practice injuries resulted from other types of contact (53.8%, 0.83/1000 AHs). Conclusions:  The GIRs were higher than the PIRs in Japanese junior soccer players. A lower overall PIR suggested that players in the U-12 age group practiced under appropriate conditions. However, the higher GIR in this age category needs to be decreased.

Background: Mechanisms that influence muscle strength can interfere with neuromotor performance and overall health, thus hormone markers and maturation can interact in this process. Objective: The present study aimed to verify the relationship of hormonal markers and biological maturation on neuromotor abilities in young people. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 44 female participants (11.5 ± 1.5 years). Hormones were analyzed biochemically. Skeletal and somatic maturation were analyzed using anthropometry. The muscular power of the upper and lower limbs, body speed with change of direction, and speed of the upper limbs were verified. Results: Bone age was correlated with hormonal markers (estradiol: r = 0.58; p = 0.0007), (testosterone: r = 0.51; p = 0.005). Peak growth velocity correlated with estradiol (r = 0.51; p = 0.004). The power of the lower limbs (estradiol: r = 0.52; p = 0.006; testosterone: r = 0.42; p = 0.03) and of the upper limbs (estradiol: r = 0.51; p = 0.007; testosterone: r = 0.42; p = 0.02) had a positive correlation with hormone levels and had similar results with maturation. The analysis by artificial neural networks indicated that the maturation can predict the neuromotor performance between 57.4% and 76%, while the hormonal markers showed a potential of more than 95% for the foreshadowing of the neuromotor performance of the upper limbs. Conclusion: It was possible to conclude that the hormones had a relationship with maturational development and bone age in female subjects.

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has not only put our national health systems to the test, but it also notably hit the economy, the society and the psychology of the people. Our pets have been subjected to the pandemic related stress too. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether the stress induced on domestic dogs resulted in an increase of dog bites in the paediatric population. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on all patients admitted to our paediatric emergency department for dog bite from January 2014 and December 2020. We compared the total mean dog bites of the years 2014–2019 and the mean number per single month with the respective 2020 data. The bites were divided between bites from family dogs and bites from stranger dogs. Continuous data were analysed using single sample t test while categorical values with chi-squared test, considering statistically significant a p value < 0.05. Results: From January 2014 to December 2019, we recorded a mean of 41 ± 5.9 dog bites (range: 30–46) of which a mean 13 ± 2.6 (range: 10–17) were due to family dogs (32%) and a mean of 28 ± 2.4 (range: 25–31) were due to stranger dogs (68%); the male-to-female ratio was 3:2 and 43% of the injuries concerned the head and face, 26% the lower limbs, 25% the upper limbs, 3% the genitalia and 3% the torso. From January 2020 to December 2020, 30 children were admitted for dog bites: 22 were from family dogs (73%) and 8 from stranger dogs (27%); the male-to-female ratio was 14:11 and 72% of the injuries concerned the head and face, 16% the upper limbs, 8% the lower limbs and 4% the torso. The 2020 data’s higher number of family dog bites compared with the mean of those in the 2014–2019 period was statistically significant (p < 0.01) such as the 2020 data’s lower number of stranger dog bites when compared with the mean number of stranger dog bites in the 2014–2019 period (p < 0.01). Between 2014 and 2019, a mean of 9 ± 2 (range: 6–12) of the wounds needed to be sutured (22%), while 32 ± 3 (range: 28–35) wounds were discharged after application of Steri Strips (78%). On the other hand, in 2020, 21 wounds needed to be sutured (70%), and 9 received just Steri Strips application (41%). The frequency distribution of the treatments required (stitches vs. Steri Strips) between the 2014 to 2019 period and the 2020 period was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The number of family dog bites in children increased in 2020, especially during the lockdown period. Paediatricians should pay a lot of attention now more than ever to educate parents on the importance of always supervising children who are playing with dogs.

The Relationship

Posture is commonly perceived as the relationship between the segments of the human body upright. Certain parts of the body such as the cephalic extremity, neck, torso, upper and lower limbs are involved in the final posture of the body. Musculoskeletal instabilities and reduced postural control lead to the installation of nonstructural posture deviations in all 3 anatomical planes. When we talk about the sagittal plane, it was concluded that there are 4 main types of posture deviation: hyperlordotic posture, kyphotic posture, rectitude and "sway-back" posture.Pilates method has become in the last decade a much more popular formof exercise used in rehabilitation. The Pilates method is frequently prescribed to people with low back pain due to their orientation on the stabilizing muscles of the pelvis. Pilates exercise is thus theorized to help reactivate the muscles and, by doingso, increases lumbar support, reduces pain, and improves body alignment.

Using different methods of statistics, this paper aims to highlight the potential link between the antioxidant activity of flavonoids and the corresponding molecular descriptors. By calculating the descriptors (van der Waals surface (A), molar volume (V), partition coefficient (LogP), refractivity (R), polarizability (a), forming heat (Hformation), hydration energy (Ehidr), the dipole moment (mt)), together with antioxidant activities (RSA) calculated or taken from the literature, number of phenolic -OH groups and the presence (2) or absence (1) of C2=C3 double bond) for 29 flavonoid compounds and by intercorrelation between the studied parameters, the link between the number of phenolic groups grafted to the basic structure of flavonoids and their antioxidant activity was confirmed. Simultaneously, by using the chi-squared test and the intercorrelations matrix, a satisfactorily correlation coefficient (r2=0.5678; r=0.7536) between the structure of the flavonoids and their activity was obtained, fact that confirms the correlation of the antioxidant activity with the number of -OH phenolic groups.
