Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Football participation is popular among youth (between ages 6-12), with approximately one million playing tack football and 900,000 playing flag football. Over the past three years, youth participation in flag football has risen by 39%, more than any other sport. With the recent media attention on the potential long-term and deleterious effects of exposure to head impacts, there has been an impetus to promote flag football as a safer alternative to tackle football. While the participation rates are rising for flag football, there remains a lack of epidemiologic research and thus evidence of sport-specific injuries and relative risk due to participation. The lack of objective epidemiological data on flag football energy incidence presently means there is no support for any emphasis that it is a safer alternative to tackle football in the immediate or long-term duration. In addition, with the increasing participation rates in flag football, clinicians, parents, coaches, and athletes need data-driven evidence regarding the prevalence of injuries in flag football athletes and the potential risks of injury unique to the sport itself. Hypothesis/Purpose: This study explores and describes the epidemiology of injury associated with youth flag football participation. Study Design: Descriptive Epidemiology Study Methods: Injury and exposure data were collected at one regional and two nation flag football tournaments. All injury information was collected by a certified athletic trainer (AT). A total of 1939 (1744 boys; 195 girls) athletes participated in this study. An AT monitored athletes for sports-related injuries and exposures during each tournament. Athlete risk of injury and injury rates were calculated overall and by gender. Injury characteristics were reported for the total population and gender-specific breakdown. Results: 47 injuries were recorded in 1,939 athletes with 9,228 athlete exposures (AEs). The overall risk of injuy was 2.4%, and the overal rate of injury was 5.09 per 1000 AE. Of the 47 injuries, 36 occurred in male athletesand 11 in female athletes. There was a statistically significant lower risk in boys compared with girls for both Injury Risk Ration 0.366 and Injury Rate Ratio 0.338 using Fisher's exact estimation. Head/Face/Neck injuries accounted for the largest proportion 31.9% of all reported injuries followed by ankle/foot, thigh, and wrist/hand. The most common types of injury for this overall group were contusion, sprain/subluxation, and general trauma; 74.5% of all injuries resulted from direct impact. Conclusion: While the overall risk of injury in flag football appears lower than in tackle football, it is evident that injuries still occur. Interestingly, several injuries were related to the flag belt location, suggestive of potential equipment modification to prevent further injury.

Book excerpt: In-season management of (American) football injuries presents a unique set of problems and considerations. Trying to safely return players to play is of great concern from Pop Warner up to the NFL, and managing injuries during the season with the plan of operative repair in the off-season is also a unique concern with these athletes. Management during the season to allow return to play, while minimizing the risks of further injury, is of utmost importance. This unique book will focus on the management of football injuries during the season and on the sidelines. It will focus on both operative and non-operative treatments that allow safe return to play, utilizing not only the latest scientific literature supporting in-season decisions, but also the experiences of the authors, who have spent many years treating these athletes. Divided into sections on orthopedic and medical considerations, the first part is organized anatomically to present the breadth of injury and treatment strategies available, from injuries to the shoulder and elbow, to ACL/MCL/PCL tears and sprains, to tendinopathies and sports hernia, among many other conditions. The second section covers diverse medical topics germane to football, including heat and cardiac issues, traumatic brain injury, mental health and infectious disease considerations, pain management, and the expanding role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in non-operative treatment. Presenting the most recent clinical evidence alongside time-tested management techniques, Football Injuries will be a valuable addition to the practices of orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, sideline medics and athletic trainers, and primary care physicians treating these athletes.

Download or read book Comparison of High School Football and Soccer Injuries on Fieldturf Versus Natural Grass written by Patrick G Garlock and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Few studies have compared injury rates on natural grass and FieldTurf surfaces, especially in interscholastic populations. No prior studies have reported if injury rates are different during practice and games in football and soccer on these two surfaces. Hypothesis: We theorized that there would be no difference in injury rates for football and soccer players when playing on natural grass or FieldTurf surfaces. Objective: To compare the incidence of injury of high school football players on natural grass and FieldTurf surfaces. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Natural grass and FieldTurf surfaces at a high school in Western Washington. Sample Population: A total of 539 boy and girl athletes who participated in eight football and sixteen soccer teams during 1998 to 2001 interscholastic seasons. All injuries were reported and verified by an athletic trainer/physical therapist. Injury rates were determined per 1,000 athletic exposures. Main Outcome Measure: Reportable injuries occuring from participation as a varsity or junior varsity football or soccer athlete. Results: Injury rates on natural grass were significantly higher on FieldTurf for football and girls' soccer. Injury rates on natural grass were significantly higher on natural grass than FieldTurf for practices and games for boys' football and girls' soccer. No significant differences were found between natural grass and FieldTurf in head related trauma for football players. For other body locations, higher rates of knee injury for football and ankle injuries for girls' soccer occurred on natural grass compared to FieldTurf. By injury type, higher rates of spains for girls' soccer and strains for football occurred on natural grass compared to FieldTurf. By position, for football, we found higher rates of injury on natural grass than FieldTurf for lineman and defensive backs. For girls' soccer defenders had higher rates on natural grass than FieldTurf. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that a new generation of synthetic turf, FieldTurf, may lower the risk of injury in football and girls' soccer at the high school level. Further studies are needed to compare the risk of injury between the two surfaces in other high school sports like field hockey or lacrosse that also play on these surfaces.

Download or read book Predicting Lower Extremity Injury in High School Football Players Using the Star Excursion Balance Test written by Michael W. Stout and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the ability of the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) to reliably and accurately predict lower extremity injuries in high school football players. Design: This study used a prospective cohort design. Subjects: Two hundred and thirty nine male junior varsity and varsity football players from five different high schools around the greater Toledo, Ohio area were recruited for this study. Measurements: Each subject was tested by a group of certified athletic trainers on three reach distances of the SEBT: anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral. Composite scores were also derived from those measures. The testing took place prior to the 2009 and 2011 high school football seasons. During those seasons acute lower extremity injuries (LEI) were documented and then compared at the end of the season to determine if there were significant differences between the groups. Results: Forty-one of the 239 athletes experienced a LEI over the course of the 2009 and 2011 seasons. When comparing injured vs. non-injured athletes there was no statistical difference in the anterior reach direction (p = 0.06), posteromedial direction (p = 0.91), posterolateral direction (p = 0.052), or composite score (p = 0.26). However preliminary data showed statistical significance when comparing contact vs. non-contact injuries (p = 0.02). Conclusion: We found that there were no statistically significant differences between athletes who did and did not experience a LEI, therefore the SEBT currently can not be used to predict LEI in high school football players. However our preliminary data shows that the SEBT may be able to predict contact vs. non-contact injuries in high school football players (p = 0.02).
