Download or read book Biomechanical Spectrum of Human Sport Performance written by Redha Taiar and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing or managing a scientific book, as it is known today, depends on a series of major activities, such as regrouping researchers, reviewing chapters, informing and exchanging with contributors, and at the very least, motivating them to achieve the objective of publication. The idea of this book arose from many years of work in biomechanics, health disease, and rehabilitation. Through exchanges with authors from several countries, we learned much from each other, and we decided with the publisher to transfer this knowledge to readers interested in the current understanding of the impact of biomechanics in the analysis of movement and its optimization. The main objective is to provide some interesting articles that show the scope of biomechanical analysis and technologies in human behavior tasks. Engineers, researchers, and students from biomedical engineering and health sciences, as well as industrial professionals, can benefit from this compendium of knowledge about biomechanics applied to the human body.
Download or read book Soccer written by Vera R. Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection investigates the time-motion characteristics of collegiate soccer games, repeated-sprint ability in female players, and skill-based assessments of collegiate male and female players. In females, research has shown few between-position differences in physiological characteristics. Additionally, female field players can display similar aerobic fitness to elite players as assessed by the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1. The authors suggest that collegiate female players may need further development in high-intensity running and repeated-sprint ability. Afterwards, they present research supporting the idea that that turfgrass maintenance on soccer fields in Slovenia differs significantly, and several managers lack knowledge about proper turfgrass management. However, the maintenance budget is not the most important factor in determining the appearance of the soccer fields. A subsequent review is presented with the goal of reviewing the trainability of short sprinting in youth soccer players. The authors examined studies from 2005 to the present which focused on improving sprint or agility performances, and included a description of the training protocol, pre-and post-test measures (mean and standard deviation) for the training group and the control group. The findings demonstrate progress in short straight-line sprinting and in agility performance with different training regimes. Another study is presented analysing the evolution of the physical condition in young elite soccer players during the full competitive period throughout eight seasons. In this study, one hundred and eleven young soccer players belonging to the reserve team of a Spanish professional soccer academy were examined. The last study describes the perceived exertion of soccer players in the pre-season and in-season periods and to analyses the differences in the perceived effort between friendly and official matches in relation to the minutes played in young soccer players.

Download or read book The Effects of Heading Motion and Gender on Lower Extremity Biomechanics in Soccer Players written by Abdulmajeed Barakat Alfayyadh and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soccer continues to experience growth internationally in both men and women. Thus, it's reasonable to predict a high rate of injuries amongst those athletes since soccer includes strong physical contact. ACL injury is one of the most common injuries among athletes, and (70-84%) of ACL injuries occurs in non-contact situations, which often are associated with landing, deceleration, and sudden change of movement direction, and these situations might end with knee valgus collapse which's a common mechanism of ACL injury. Further, there are biomechanical differences of lower extremity joints in various tasks with both genders, which apparently means that the task utilized plays a crucial influence on joints dynamics. In soccer, the heading motion is one of the most common activities, which is more likely associated with landing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of forward heading motion by comparing the kinetics and kinematics of lower extremity between genders during 1) a stop-jump task and 2) a jump-heading task. 10 male and 10 female soccer players performed 5 stop-jumps and 5 jumps with heading a soccer ball. Findings displayed a combination of reduced initial knee flexion, greater initial hip flexion, greater peak vertical GRF, and greater peak knee extension moments with both genders during the jump-heading task. Additionally, greater peak knee abduction angles were observed among female players during both tasks. These findings suggest that a higher risk of non-contact ACL injuries might occur during the jump-heading task compared with the stop-jump task, and this risk could be higher among female players than male players. These findings might lead soccer trainers to consider different strategies and techniques of landing after heading motions in game-like conditions. Also, PTs and rehabilitation designers who work with ACL-injured patients might consider the outcome of this study. Future studies should consider to examine ankle dynamics in addition to knee and hip in game-like conditions.

Download or read book The Association of Age and Sex with Biomechanical Variables During the Side step Cutting Technique in Soccer Players written by Yuri Lopes Lima and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Soccer has a high number of knee ligament ruptures. Sex and age are factors that have an impact on these injuries. One possible reason is that females have harmful movement patterns compared to males during activities such as cutting while running. The literature still lacks studies examining the influence of age on these movements. Therefore, research is needed to determine if sex and age have an impact on the movement patterns of soccer players. The primary objective of this study was to examine if sex and age impact the joint angles and inter-joint coordination during an unanticipated cutting task in soccer players. A secondary objective compared the strength, jump performance and dynamic balance of male and female soccer players of different age groups. The study recruited healthy soccer players of different age groups. This included 11 adolescents (five males, six females) and 11 adults (seven males, four females). A 12-camera three-dimensional motion capture system recorded joint angles while participants performed an unanticipated side-step cutting task. A hand-held dynamometer measured muscle torques. Hop tests measured jump performance and the modified Star Excursion Balance Test measured dynamic balance. Principal component analysis (PCA) identified differences in joint angles. Adult males presented greater changes in hip flexion at pre-contact compared to stance/take-off than adolescent males and adult females had lower changes than adolescent females. Females had lower changes in hip flexion, and lower hip abduction and ankle inversion angles. Adolescents had greater hip internal rotation and knee flexion angles, but lower changes in knee flexion angles at pre-contact compared to stance/take-off. For inter-joint coordination, females had a more out-of-phase pattern than males in the foot/shank segment in sagittal plane. In regard to clinical measures we observed a few differences in knee extensor torque and balance, with adolescents exhibiting better results. Clinicians and coaches should be aware that these characteristics might impair performance and increase injury risk"--
