The Importance Of Injuries In Sports

This study evaluated 90 total ACL injuries from soccer players ranging from a mean age of 19.4 ± 2.3 years.1 The reported mean age at injury was 17.4 ± 1.9 years, with the highest injury rate at 18 years of age.1 Of the total 90 injuries, 48 were the dominant leg, 62 occurred on artificial turf, 57 occurred in players wearing round spikes, 41 occurred in defenders, 54 occurred during defense, 56 occurred during a game, and 55 were non-contact injuries.1 Furthermore, of the 55 non-contact injuries, 29 occurred during a cutting maneuver and 22 occurred during pressing.1 Assessing the results, it was discovered that non-contact injuries during pressing were significantly more common than contact injuries during pressing.1

If the School of Sport Science, Exercise, and Health’s data is more statistically accurate then the annual AFL injury report which they contemplate.

It has been recognised that there is a wide continuum of hamstring injuries that occur in football (5). These consisting of strains, partial and complete hamstring avulsions (5). Two different types of acute HS have been observed, one during high-speed running involving the BF, and the second during movements of vast lengthening movements such as high kicking and slide tackling which involves the SB predominately (6). When looking at the sprinting aspects of football HS occur when the muscle fails structurally due to the intense eccentric loading that occurs (7).

At this point I envision being able to use this paper to educate players and coaches, so they can take this information to help avoid risk factor and prevent UCL injuries. If a player needs Tommy John surgery this paper should give them a good idea of what the surgery entails, and what type of rehabilitation they need to partake in to get back to full health. At this point I don’t see this paper having a hypothesis, because I would rather use it as a tool to educate UCL injuries and Tommy John surgery as a whole, than focus in on a smaller more detailed topic to do with Tommy John surgery.

Without a doubt a strain to the hamstring is an atrocious impairment to all athletes. Prevent an injury by always warming up and stretching. Stretch after your warmed up, it will increase flexibility. Unfortunately, not being fully stretched that night at dance practice, was what resulted my injury.

Studies have also shown that women in particular, unfortunately have a disadvantage in life when compared to male counterparts, and that is one pertaining to their higher risk for ACL injury. Due to a neuromuscular imbalance that is concomitant with overactive quadriceps strength compared to hamstring strength, females tend to place more stress on the ACL. Accordingly, this increases the pressure on the ACL leading to a higher prevalence of injury that will arise more on the female spectrum than that of the male (Myer et al., 2009). Furthermore, this is important to be aware of for female athletes and for the Physical Therapists who treat them in efforts to provide educational information regarding the relationship of stronger hamstrings correlating to a lesser chance of ACL injury. Personally, I have worked with athletic females in the past as a personal trainer and while I was not strengthening hamstrings with the direct objective to prevent an ACL injury, I was cognizant of the notion that a balanced quadriceps and hamstring ratio was necessary to avoid lower extremity injuries as a

Hamstring strains have been one of the most common injuries around the world. Unfortunately, there has been a limited amount of success reducing the rate of this injury (Schmit, 2012). Although many researchers and doctors have studied the cause of hamstring strains, there are still many theories as to why they occur. One theory includes that there is an imbalance between the medial and lateral hamstring muscle that leads to hamstring muscle fatigue (Prentice, 2015). Hamstring strains are painful and prevalent in different types of activities. Most commonly these strains can be found in athletes that engage in running, skating, jumping sliding, kicking, and quick/fast motions (Valle, 2015).

The type of injury associated with Lourdes hamstring strain is an overuse injury. This is due to repetitive stress or overuse of the hamstring.

Injuries in American football, can some of them be prevented? With the increase in injuries in football coaches are looking for better ways to try and prevent unnecessary injuries. Even though you cannot prevent all the injuries as a coach you want to at least prevent some.

The main research of this paper is Sports injuries. Sport injuries are very common in the modern world and it has severe effects in the life of athletes. Injuries related to sport can lead to loss of life, body parts or career depending on the severity of the accident. Sport injuries have several negative impacts on the physical, mental, social ability of athletes. To accomplish the paper appropriately some real-life examples have been included in this research, for illustration. For better understanding of the rise of the sports related injuries, a graph has been mentioned that shows the difference between the numbers of sports injuries recently compared to 2004. Finally the research paper has been concluded by proving that

Ankle injuries are on the most common injuries that most athletes have to deal with throughout their playing career, some research has shown that an ankle sprain is seven times more like to occur than other injuries. With this being said a lot of coaches require their athletes to either tape or have a brace on the ankle to prevent the injury from occurring in the first place, however evidence has shown that the use of an ankle brace does not always prevent the injury from happening. So the question becomes does the brace impair the athlete to perform at their highest level. In this study they took ten healthy D-3 male athletes, and ten female athletes. They used video analysis to record the kinematics of the lower extremities during a countermovement

The risk of injury can result from many factors such as training volume, competitive level and pubertal

In sports, especially professional sports injury is a great possibly, and a common and very serious injury is plaguing all sports. The concussion is that injury. And over the past few years the NHL and other leagues or trying to crack down on concussions; but those are only partial solutions. In hockey concussions, can come from anything and happen at any time. Thus, proposing a solution or a way to prevent them, is very difficult. As per a study that took place from 1997-2004, results published in 2011 by CTV, states “With averages ranging from 4.6 to 7.7 concussions per 100 NHL players per season, it’s likely that each of the 30 teams in the league will see at least one or two players miss time due to a concussion every year” (Tahirali). Thusly supporting how many players received concussions, even if this study is older. Many people are fighting to get the game changed to combat concussions, and just as many fight to not change the game; although they still do not want concussions.

Injuries play a big role in an athlete's career and his or her overall health, although minor injuries are often nothing to worry about they can lead to something serious especially if the injury is repeatedly being aggravated. scrapes, cuts, bruises, and broken bones are all things to worry about. When a player is injured he or she is losing play time and money and why risk this when there is small but giant steps that can be taken to prevent injuries. But brain injuries are something much more serious even if the player says not to worry because something worse than losing playtime is losing your life. Albert C. hergenroeder has written an article on preventing sports injuries, he says that there are 3 million sports injuries among kids around
