Since writing his paper Greig’s (2008) work has been citied 82 times across a range of different topics such as further aetiology, recovery and injury prevention (Opar et al. 2012; Dranganidis at el. 2015; Martyn et al. 2015) . Being citied so many times gives us an indication of how successful this experiment was as it is now the basis of many scholar’s information. Greig’s findings inspired himself along with others to further test this idea. The reliability of this experiment was increased by using SAFT, which is a multidirectional test requiring players to mimic the movement they use in a game with incorporating sharp change in directions, running around obstacles and therefore not running in a straight line on a treadmill similar to the …show more content…
I find this as an extremely important factor as it was found by Lord (2014) the dominant leg therefore usually the kicking leg in soccer had a higher fatigue response which make sense as when players change direction while running they usually rely on that dominate leg to stabilise that change (Williams 1985), whereas the non- dominate leg could produce greater forces while fatigued. Lord (2014) is suggesting that there is a significantly higher risk of injury to the dominant to the non- dominant leg in soccer …show more content…
(Varley et al. 2014) It seems obvious by allowing more player rotation you could decrease the fatigue within your players therefore lowering the risk of injury (Fortington et al. 2014). Fortington and other (2014) imply that players new to the professional game should only be used as interchanges players until they can fully cope and have experience with the demands of the sport, to delay or avoid injury. Could this be incorporated with youth teams to test the results before effecting the professional game? However on the other hand the limitations then build up with this ideas such as, how do we control the interchanges, will we be decreasing the intensity of games, and will it affect the global audience it receives? So there is one thing trying to decrease the level of injury but it would be best to do it by development of aetiology rather than changing the rules of a
People should be punished for not taking action in a life and death situation. In the article the author, Jay Sterling Silver, believes that civil liability should be established for everyone everywhere. I somewhat agree with his point because it’s the right thing to do but that’s not always the case. During a life and death situation people tend to panic and when they do they start to lose control because they are torn between taking action or calling 911 but it might be too late for that. People will act without precaution in an emergency or some will not act at all because they’re scared they might make the situation worse than what it is.
Running, it is the simplest of movements: right foot, left foot, right foot, and the simplest of actions: run, relax, and breathe. Many individuals participate in this form of exercise because they enjoy how good it makes them feel, they enjoy feeling the strength of their body while they run, and they enjoy using it as a way of relieving their stress. There are many other factors to take into consideration that effect a persons running such as, the type of footwear they are using, the distance they are running, and the speed of which they are running at. The objective of the main article was to research and compare the differences in stride length, hip, knee and ankle angles in runners when running two different conditions, shod and barefoot, also while running at two
When you kick a soccer ball, numerous things occur. The most important is the motion of your leg and the active (or "development") vitality into the ball.
Concussion effects your ability to learn. Because all the interruption after-concussion, many doctors often require a lot of days of rest during the time you have concussion. Which you can't read nothing, do nothing on computer or anything like that, or any other work making insistence of brain power(Turton 1).Very few concussions require more than four weeks recovery time. Rehabilitation duration over four weeks lacks more cooperative scholar and therapeutic interference and resources outside the school academic adaption instead of easily academic standardization(Matthew 2).An impingement to the brain discombobulate processes on a cellular level. Injured, and also trying to recover from the injury, brain cells become less capable as they fight to restore balance(Matthew 3).
As many people know, sports are dangerous. However, most coaches and spectators say things like, “tough it out” or “no pain no gain” to these players. But if a player plays with
The placement of the non kicking foot determines the direction of the kick. The support leg also acts as a stabilizer by flexing at the knee once the foot makes contact with the ground. (Lees, Asai, Andersen, Nunome & Sterzing, 2010) Pictured below in Figures 1 and 2 are two different athletes with very diverse abilities. You can see both the direction of the planted foot and the flexion of the knee in both players.
Soccer is one of the best sports ever, it has fans all over the world, it’s such a difficult game, and involves many muscles that is required to complete this sport competently and efficiency, according to the “Muscles Used to Play Soccer”, the author explains that: “ the primary muscles used in soccer is no doubt the legs, players should have strong legs for many reasons such as to have a powerful kick which can give him an advantage in scoring more goals, to run faster, jump higher for headers and to not get injured easily since players are so prone to heavy tackles. Other than the leg muscles, the glute and hip muscles play a huge secondary role in soccer, it gives explosive power and additional speed for the foot. Arms neck and shoulders
The researchers chose to use a program called Dartfish 2D Pro Suite Software as a means of gathering their 2D data. The 3D analysis was conducted using a Vicon system. The subjects included sixteen healthy individuals, 9 males and 7 females with ages ranging from 21-30 years old. Before each participant performed the test, a member of the research team demonstrated the drop vertical jump (DVJ) using a 40 cm box. Each participant was given three practice jumps before the test began. Then, each participant had seven trials of the drop jump with less than one minute between each trial. Each trial was recorded with both 3D and 2D analysis. After the Frontal plane projection angle (FPPA), knee to ankle separation ratio (KASR), and knee separation distance (KSD) were measured for each subject based on the video recordings. They concluded that FPPA showed good interrater and intrarater reliability. It was determined that 2D analysis can be used as a cost-effective alternative to 3D analysis. However, of the four 2D techniques, KASR and KSD showed the best results. These two measurements were determined to be reliable, reproducible, and valid when compared with 3D measures. Although, if using 2D analysis, clinicians should be analyzed
All of the player’s attention is on the ball. The body is being balanced by the opposite arm to the kicking leg. The kicking leg is extended and the knee is flexing as the planted foot hits the ground. During this phase of the kick the knee extensors are contracting eccentrically. The hip flexors starts the next part of the kick when the thigh is swung forward and downward with a forward rotation of the lower leg and foot. The knee extensors contract to swing the leg and foot forward to kick the ball. When the knee of the kicking leg passes over the ball, it is extended and the foot is plantar flexed. The top of the foot will become exposed to the ball. At the end of the swing the hamstrings slow the leg eccentrically. Torque and moment arm play is needed in this movement. The longer the limb and shorter moment are, the higher the velocity will be
The angular velocity begins at the support foot plant phase and continues into the follow-through phase. For a player to achieve a maximal velocity instep kick, this is one of the main biomechanical principles to focus on improving, as the greater the velocity of the kicking leg, the greater the power. The kicking leg is modelled as a three link kinetic chain composed by the segmental forces of the thigh, shank and foot, where angular velocities are measured (Nunome, Asai, Ikegami & Sakurai, 2002). The kicking leg’s forward motion is initiated by the rotation of the pelvis, and the thigh of the kicking leg being brought forwards with
Positions are important in every aspect of life, from lying in bed to driving a car. Where one being is in relation to another is extremely vital to the well-being and safety of those involved. In “What is the Safest Sprint Starting Position for American Football Players?,” an expository text about a scientific experiment, authors Bruno Bonnechere, Benoit Beyer, Marcel Rooze, and Jan Serge Van Sint claim that they have isolated the correct position American football players should use when playing. This optimal position is the one most likely to protect the players and prevent any severe head injuries from occurring on the field.
A 56-year-old female referred as Mrs. S arrived at Emergency room with acute symptom of severe shortness of breath, dyspnea and complaints of chest pain. Assessment data reveals non-productive cough, weakness, fatigue and hemoptysis. Admitting diagnosis collected by Emergency room revealed pulmonary hypertension secondary to Systemic sclerosis. Mrs. S. has been transferred from Emergency Room to Thoracic floor due to the involvement of her respiratory system. Mrs. S came was received to thoracic unit accompanied by her husband and daughter. Patient appeared unwell, pale and moaning. Dark red spot on face, deformities on finger was also noted. Patient was put on oxygen 8 L via nasal prong and given morphine 2mg via IV prior to data collection. After settling in the room and getting all order by the
Early manifestations of MS are vision, ambulation disturbance, fatigue, and reflex changes. Fatigue is usually noted by the patients. The vision, changes in ambulation, and reflex changes are changes that the provider may notice in the exam; these changes are changes that the patient may not even be notifying yet or that they are not wanting to admit to. Some of these changes may be noticed by the family of close friends of the patient.
Implementing cross training modalities as a form of injury prevention is a common practice among endurance runners. Lower extremity injury rates among runners have been observed at rates between 19.4% and 79.3% annually, specifically categorized as chronic overuse injuries (van Gent, et al., 2007; Hoeberigs, J.H., 1992). Additionally, it is suggested that approximately 60% of chronic injuries can be attributed to increasing training volume too suddenly (Hreljac, 2004). It has been thought that multiple different cross training modalities can be a reasonable low-impact substitute of aerobic exercise (Burns, & Lauder, 2001; Lu, Chien and Chen, 2007; Kilding, Scott, and Mullineax, 2007). Many methods of cross training have been used as a substitute to running, including elliptical exercise (EE), deep water running (DWR), swimming, and stationary cycling (Foster et al., 1995; Lu et al., 2007; Pizza et al., 1995; Sozen, 2010). When coaches and rehabilitation specialists prescribe certain forms of cross training, many factors must be considered when deciding which will be most beneficial. The specificity of training principles suggests that relevant activities should be done in order to gain results in the primary activity. Cross training is an activity that is used to improve the performance of one sport by training in an additional one, contrary to what the specificity principle would imply for preferred practices (Kilding, Scott, & Mullineaux, 2007; Masumoto, Bryon, & Mercer,
Though, there appears to be no direct benefit in overall sprint performance, some evidence suggests that resisted sprints may provide improvements in the maximum velocity phase of sprinting over short distances (less than 20 meters). Unresisted sprinting, however, appears to produce superior results in distances greater than 20 m. This may suggest that the resisted sprint shares similar force velocity characteristics to unresisted sprinting during acceleration phases. Another possible benefit of the resisted sprint may come from a more
