Insight Into

The primary objectives of the study was to qualitify the injuries of female student volleyball players and to determine the nature, location, causes, outcome of injuries and the possible risk factors involved. Information on injuries was collected through a questionnaire from 48 members of students female volleyball teams participants in National Summer Universiade 2018 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The average age of the players is 22.7 years. A total of 91.7% of volleyball players sustained injuries. Lower limb injuries were found to be predominant, the ankle and knee being the most commonly injured anatomical location. Most injuries involved soft tissue and related to the muscle and tendon. The results of the research provide a useful insight into the nature, incidence and sites of injuries in varsity level volleyball players.Purpose of the research is to study the frequency and type of injuries in female student volleyball players and their awareness of prevention, behavior and treatment of sports injuries.

Introduction: In examining the factors affecting sports injuries, the emphasis is always on physical variables, while cognitive and psychological characteristics can also be effective. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between sustained attention as  a neurocognitive function and landing error as a mechanical factor associated with lower limb injuries. Materials and Methods: 44 female basketball players aged 18-25 years at the national league level participated in this study. The participants were assessed using the continuous performance test, and their landing-jumping was evaluated by the landing error scoring system in two conditions of high and low cognitive load. Results:  The results showed that people’s  landing errors increased significantly as a result  of increased cognitive needs (P=0.0001). Also, the findings revealed a positive correlation between omission and commission errors with landing error scores in both low and high cognitive load conditions (P<0.05). Conclusion: Sustained attention could predict the landing error score that is considered a  key risk factor of lower limb injuries. It is recommended that multiple cognitive and physical assessments be used to identify athletes at risk of injury. Hence, cognitive enhancement protocols may be effective along with physical preparation programs.

Limb Injuries

Physical activity plays a significant role in the well-being of a child. Long-term health benefits depend on continuation of physical activity, which enhances well-being and favours balanced development. Injuries can counter the beneficial effects of sports participation, especially if a child is unable to continue participating because of any residual effects of injury. Prevention of sports injuries has been largely implemented in the last few years. This chapter reviews common lower limb injuries in children with an emphasis on injury management. Sports-related injuries of the lower limb in children mostly cover ligament injuries, fractures, epiphyseal injuries, and apophysitis. It also cover the most frequent approaches for the management of these injuries, including conservative management for undisplaced fractures or partial ligamentous ruptures. Surgery is recommended for displaced fractures or complete ligamentous injuries.

IntroductionThis study aimed to identify risk factors associated with the development of common lower limb injuries during initial defence training in naval recruits who were enrolled in a randomised trial.MethodsThree-hundred and six naval recruits were randomly allocated flat insoles (n=153) or foot orthoses (n=153) while undertaking 11 weeks of initial training. Participant characteristics (including anthropometrics, general health, physical activity, fitness and foot characteristics) were collected at the baseline assessment and injuries were documented prospectively. Injury was defined as the combined incidence of participants with medial tibial stress syndrome, patellofemoral pain, Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis/plantar heel pain throughout the 11 weeks of training. A discriminant function analysis was used to explore the ability of baseline measures to predict injury.ResultsOverall, 67 (21.9%) participants developed an injury. Discriminant function analysis revealed that participants who sustained an injury were slightly younger (mean 21.4±SD 4.1 vs 22.5±5.0 years) and were less likely to be allocated to the foot orthosis group (40% vs 53%) compared with those who remained uninjured. The accuracy of these baseline variables to predict injury was moderate (78.1%).ConclusionsLower limb injury was not accurately predicted from health questionnaires, fitness results and clinical assessments in naval recruits undertaking initial defence training. However, although not reaching statistical significance, the use of foot orthoses may be protective against common lower limb injuries.Trial registration numberACTRN12615000024549; Post-results.
