Greig's Work And Fatigue Analysis

While professional sports have their benefits as multi-million dollar industry, professional athletes are under a considerable amount of stress, not only to their bodies but also their minds. As an elite and professional athlete, one of the most crucial and devastating things that can happen is sustaining serious injuries both on and off season, which are unfortunately and frequently an unavoidable aspect to sports. For professional athletes, playing the sport becomes their life. In the competitive nature of the sports world, “These lifelong devastating injuries can be seen in all sports including football, basketball, cheer, leading, lacrosse, soccer and even Track & Field” (Chrzanowski, et. al., 2011). Although many injuries in athletics

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

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.

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

When it comes to kicking a soccer ball it depends on the force and distance of the kick. A field goal kick will be different from a pass in a combination play. Mental preparation has to be used to be ready for the kick. When kicking a field goal, laces kick will be used (toe down, power in knee flexion). A successful kick is usually defined in the velocity of the ball (which needs greater swing limb/ foot speed), or the accuracy of direction of kick, which relies on the position of the ‘plant’ (non-kicking) foot and hip position at impact. There are different stages for analysis movement of a soccer field goal kick.

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

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

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,

One study began looking into the presence of knee valgus during the DJT compared to other movements. The participants included 22 female handball and soccer players who were instructed to perform five sidestep cuts and three vertical drop jumps. The purpose of this was to find the difference in the knee valgus angles between six thigh marker clusters, and then to find the impact of those on the cross-talk effect between them. The drop jump test was performed using a 30 centimeter box and participants performed a maximal jump after landing. Measurements of knee valgus were taken during the contact phase and initial contact and were compared using the six different thigh markers. During the drop jump test, there was about a 15 degree of peak valgus between the marker sets. There seemed to be varied cross-talk between the two tests. This was the first study to quantify the differences in knee valgus between these two tests.13 Therefore, more research is needed to find correlations between the presence of knee valgus and other possible ACL injury

This study assesses how altering step rate has been shown to reduce joint loading forces. This could be a strategy that runners implement to help minimize patellofemoral pain. Runners were tested at 10% above and below their 100% step rate. Step rate increased to 10% above the preferred, which reduced the peak patellofemoral joint force by 14%. The peak stance-phase of knee flexion decreased when step rate was increased. This was the most important factor that predicted a reduction of joint loading forces at the knee.

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.

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.
