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.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collegiate spring football season, which currently consists of five noncontact and ten contact practices, has been associated with a high incidence of injury. This study uses NCAA Injury Surveillance System (ISS) data to compare injury patterns in collegiate fall (FF) and spring (SF) football over the past four seasons. A reportable injury was defined as restricting the athlete's participating for at least one day. An athlete-exposure (A-E) was recorded for each individual participating in each practice or game. Results showed that the four-year practice injury rate for SF (9.0 injuries/1000 A-E) was more than double that of FF (4.0 injuries/1000 A-E). The top three types of injuries (knee, ankle, and shoulder) were identical in SF and FF with similar percentages of all reported injuries. Specific analysis of injury severity (time loss and required surgery), concussions, and new injuries also showed a higher rate in spring practice. There was little difference in the types of injuries that occurred in SF and FF: the SF injury incidence was just greater. Variables such as training, intensity, and recovery time may be factors in the increased SF injury rates. Reducing the number of contact practices in the spring may be one way of normalizing injury rates.

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).

Download or read book Football Injuries written by Kevin W. Farmer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background With 17–35% of all 14-year-olds in Sweden being active in football, injuries do occur, most frequently during match play. Based on knowledge of injury mechanisms and risk factors, different injury prevention exercise programmes (IPEPs) have been developed. In this thesis, the Swedish IPEP Knee Control was used as a model for injury preventive training. Aim The overall aim of this thesis was to improve our understanding of the effects of the Knee Control injury prevention exercise programme on sports performance and jump-landing technique, as well as exploring programme implementation and coach experiences of using the programme in youth football. Methods Studies I and IV were cluster-randomised trials focusing on the performance effects of Knee Control. Study I included four teams with 41 female youth football players (mean age 14). The intervention group used Knee Control twice weekly for 11 weeks, whereas the control group teams did their usual training. Knee Control includes six different exercises at four levels of difficulty and with partner exercises and is meant to be used during warm-up at every training session. Performance was tested using a battery of balance, agility, jump and sprint tests at baseline and follow-up at an indoor venue. Study IV had a similar set-up but included two different interventions: Knee Control and a new, further-developed version of the programme, Knee Control+, which were studied during an eight-week intervention involving eight youth football teams, four male, four female (mean age 14), with 77 players. Similar, but not identical, performance tests were used in Study IV, along with drop vertical jumps and tuck jump assessment to assess jump-landing technique. Studies II and III focused on the implementation context. Study II was questionnaire based, using the RE-AIM framework covering the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance of Knee Control. Coaches for female youth teams (n=352), one representative of the national football association and representatives of eight district football associations responded to web-based questionnaires. Data collection was performed two years after the nation-wide implementation of Knee Control started. Study III was a qualitative study that followed up on the results of Study II. Interviews were conducted with 20 coaches for female football teams and analysed using qualitative content analysis. The interviews focused on factors that affected the adoption and use of Knee Control. All 20 coaches had experience of Knee Control. Results Limited positive effects were seen on jump-landing technique in girls, with the total tuck jump assessment score improving, as well as two separate criteria, the number of jumps accomplished during the 10-second test and additionally an increased knee-flexion angle upon landing from a drop vertical jump. No improvements on the performance tests were found in either Study I or Study IV. Both studies, however, suffered from low player compliance with the IPEPs and as a result low training dosage. No major differences in results were seen between Knee Control and Knee Control+ in Study IV. Study II showed that 91% of the responding coaches were familiar with Knee Control, they perceived the programme to be effective, 74% had started to use it, and it was fairly well maintained over time. However, only one third of the coaches used the programme every week and few used the whole programme. There were no formal policies for programme implementation and use in the district football associations and clubs. Study III showed that the coach was vital for programme use but needed social support, buy-in from players, resources and a feasible programme to facilitate programme adoption and use. When facing challenges with Knee Control implementation and use, the coaches did their best to work around these obstacles; for example, by modifying the programme content or dosage. Conclusions In conclusion, limited positive effects on jump-landing technique were seen in girls, potentially affecting risk factors for injury positively. No clinically meaningful effects from Knee Control or Knee Control+ were seen on performance tests as measured in the studies in either boys or girls. This may be related to the low training dosage. The high programme reach, perceived effectiveness, adoption and fairly high maintenance of Knee Control were positive. The modifications of programme content and/or dosage were concerning but will hopefully decrease with a more user-friendly programme. Bakgrund I och med att 17–35% av alla 14-åringar i Sverige är aktiva inom fotboll så uppkommer en del skador, oftast i samband med matcher. Utifrån kunskap om skadesituationer och riskfaktorer för skador har olika skadeförebyggande träningsprogram utvecklats. I denna avhandling användes det svenska skadeförebyggande programmet Knäkontroll som modell för skadepreventiv träning. Syfte Det övergripande syftet var att öka förståelsen för effekterna av Knäkontroll på prestationsförmåga och hopp-landningsteknik, programmets implementering och tränarnas erfarenheter av att använda programmet inom svensk ungdomsfotboll. Metod Studie I och Studie IV var klusterrandomiserade studier som undersökte effekterna på prestationsförmågan av att träna Knäkontroll. Studie I inkluderade 41 flickfotbollsspelare (genomsnittsålder 14 år). Interventionsgruppen använde Knäkontroll två gånger per vecka i 11 veckor, medan kontrollgruppen tränade som vanligt. Knäkontroll involverar sex olika övningar på fyra svårighetsgrader och med tillhörande parövningar och ska användas vid uppvärmningen inför varje fotbollsträning. Prestationsförmågan testades inomhus med ett batteri av olika tester för balans, snabbhet, hopp- och sprintförmåga vid baslinje och uppföljning. Studie IV hade ett likartat upplägg men inkluderade två olika interventioner: Knäkontroll och en vidareutvecklad version av programmet, Knäkontroll+. Studien pågick åtta veckor i åtta fotbollslag (fyra pojk-, fyra flicklag) med 77 spelare (genomsnittsålder 14 år). Liknande test för prestationsförmåga användes som i studie I, men även drop vertical jumps och tuck jumps för att bedöma hopp-landningsteknik. Studie II och Studie III fokuserade på implementeringskontexten, det vill säga implementeringen av Knäkontroll ute i fotbollslag. Studie II var en enkätstudie som med hjälp av ramverket RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance) utvärderade implementeringen av Knäkontroll. Tränare för flickfotbollslag (n=352), en representant för Svenska Fotbollförbundet och representanter för åtta distriktsförbund besvarade de webbaserade enkäterna. Datainsamlingen gjordes två år efter att den nationella implementeringen av Knäkontroll startade. Studie III var en kvalitativ studie som fördjupade resultaten av Studie II. Intervjuer genomfördes med tjugo tränare för flick- och damfotbollslag och analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Intervjuerna fokuserade på faktorer som påverkade tränarnas upptag och användning av Knäkontroll. Alla tränare hade erfarenhet av Knäkontroll sedan tidigare. Resultat Begränsad positiv effekt sågs på hopp-landningsteknik bland flickorna i studie IV, med en förbättrad totalpoäng på tuck jumps, på två kriterier i tuck jump, ökat antal hopp under testets 10 sekunder samt en ökad knäflexionsvinkel vid landning från drop vertical jumps. Ingen förbättring av prestationsförmågan sågs i Studie I eller Studie IV. I båda studierna var spelarnas närvaro på fotbollsträningar låg, vilket även gav en låg träningsdos av Knäkontroll. Inga större skillnader i resultat sågs mellan Knäkontroll och Knäkontroll+ i Studie IV. Studie II visade att 91% av tränarna kände till Knäkontroll, att tränarna upplevde att programmet var effektivt, 74% hade också börjat använda programmet och användandet bibehölls också förhållandevis väl över tid. Däremot använde endast 1/3 av tränarna programmet varje vecka och få använde hela programmet. Det saknades riktlinjer för programmets implementering och användning inom distriktsförbund och klubbar. Studie III visade att tränaren var oumbärlig för programmets användning men behövde mer socialt stöd, intresse från spelarna och resurser utöver ett användarvänligt program för att underlätta det preventiva arbetet. När tränarna ställdes inför utmaningar gjorde de sitt bästa för att kringgå problemen, till exempel genom att modifiera programmets innehåll eller dosering, för att ändå kunna använda programmet. Konklusion Sammanfattningsvis sågs begränsade positiva effekter på hopplandningsteknik hos flickorna, vilket möjligen påverkar riskfaktorerna för skada positivt. Inga kliniskt meningsfulla effekter av Knäkontroll eller Knäkontroll+ sågs på prestationstesterna hos varken pojkar eller flickor. Detta kan vara relaterat till den låga träningsdosen. Knäkontrollprogrammets stora spridning, högt skattade effektivitet, höga upptag och förhållandevis goda bibehållande var positivt. De modifieringar av programmets innehåll och/eller dosering som sågs var oroväckande men kan förhoppningsvis minska av ett mer användarvänligt program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a state-of-the-art account of the nature, distribution and determinants of sports injury in children and adolescents, this unique volume uses the public health model to describe the scope of the injury problem and the associated risk factors and evaluate the current research on injury prevention strategies as described in the literature. Thoughtfully divided in six sections, the nature of the young athlete and epidemiology of pediatric and adolescent sports injury are described first. Then an overview of the most common types of youth sports injuries as well as more serious injuries (e.g., concussions) and outcomes is presented, followed by a discussion of injury causation and prevention. Suggestions for future research rounds out the presentation. Each chapter is illustrated with tables which make it easy to examine injury factors between studies. Throughout, the editors and contributors have taken an evidence-based approach and adopted a uniform methodology to assess the data available. Ideal for physicians, physical therapists, athletic trainers and sports scientists alike, Injury in Pediatric and Adolescent Sports concisely and accurately presents the situation faced by clinicians treating young athletes and the challenges they face in keeping up with this growing and active population. Furthermore, the information in this book will be useful to allied health researchers and sport governing bodies as an informed basis for continued epidemiological study and implementation of injury prevention initiatives designed to reduce the incidence and severity of injuries encountered by young athletes.
