As can be seen from the scientific literature, there are many studies that have described risk factors, but above all what strategies can be used to decrease this incidence through the prevention exercises. The exercise considered the gold standard for the hamstring injuries prevention is the Nordic hamstring although the literature highlights the particular complexity of the anatomical district of hamstrings. For these reasons, it seems simplistic and reductive to assume that one exercise is sufficient. In this study is proposed further exercises proposed in the literature that can integrate the traditional Nordic hamstring and help to activate more fully all the muscle heads that make up the hamstrings. In conclusion, in a prevention session or in a strength session, in addition to the Nordic hamstring exercise, other exercises could be included, such as the Laying Kick, the Standing Kick, the Nordic bump, the Nordic with return, the Cranes and the Cranes return.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43388280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional periodization of Matveev determined that aerobic training is the most important session for the athlete because this training for the athlete practices higher loads in the other training phase. This type of training is not specific for the volleyball because the rally is alactic and the match improves the aerobic conditioning, in the volleyball the physical training more important for the volleyball player is the strength training. The volleyball players deserve to practice the special strength training and reactive strength training because these strength trainings is in accordance with the specificity principle. The years 80 was the Cooper era because the volleyball players practiced long-running of 5 kilometers or more. The long-running is not specific for the volleyball player because this match is intermittent. Then, the type of training with an intermittent action is the fartlek and the interval training. Therefore, knowing the content of the specificity principle is important for the physical trainer to elaborate the training.

However, most periodization models were developed in individual sports. This is a problem for the team sports coach to structure the training. The volleyball has its characteristics and it is necessary to elaborate a periodization model according to the needs of this sport. In 2011, Marques Junior wrote the first article about the specific periodization for the volleyball with the objective to end this problem.

This paper will discuss physiological adaptations beyond simply localized muscular endurance. Focused literature highlighting effects on oxygen consumption, lactate threshold, running economy and neuromuscular benefits will be further discussed. Search methods: A search was conducted on the wide-body of research that exists in and around the skeletal muscle and sports performance and aligns the research in a clear manner, specifically describing the physiological response of various training to the endurance athlete. Literature gathered involved trails of comparative analysis with control groups in various exercise settings. Main results: In an attempt to clarify the physiological adaptations specific to the endurance runner, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate and describe how strength and power training can be used with aerobic athletes beyond just localized muscle endurance. The present paper identifies each adaptation specific to the training modality to clarify the scientific evidence for the sport practitioner. Conclusions: Historically, runners have eliminated strength exercises form their training programs due to theorized decreases in VO2max and Lactate Threshold. However, the majority of research analyzing those two variables has been conducted with stand-alone methodology. Concurrent strength and endurance training research has not displayed negative effects on in VO2max and Lactate Threshold and furthermore has produced favorable adaptions to both running economy and neuromuscular coordination delaying fatigue. It is therefore suggested endurance based runners perform strength and or power training to maximize running economy and delay fatigue.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45366761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At higher values mean higher quality of execution. The lower limb functional asymmetry (FA) is monitored to control the athlete's injury risk. This study aims to examine the correlation between the FMS score and strength asymmetry in professional soccer players (PSP). Methods: n=31 PSP (age:22.2±4.6; weight:74.3±10,1kg; height:176.1±8.7cm), n=4 were excluded for joint or muscle injury in the last 18 months. The FMS protocol identifies athletes at risk of injury when the total score is≤14. The Hop Test (HT), Side Hop Test (SH) and Crossover Hop Test (CH) are considered a valid assessment of the single lower limb FA. Results: It revealed a significant inverse correlation between FMS score and HT (r = -0.56, p<0.01), between FMS score and SH asymmetry percentage (r =-0.74, p<0.01) and the CH asymmetry percentage (r=-0.60, p<0.01). Significant correlation were found between HT asymmetry and SH asymmetry (r= -0.54, p<0.01), CH asymmetry (r=-0.59, p<0.01); significant correlation were found between SH asymmetry and CH asymmetry (r= -0.76, p<0.001). Conclusion: Low scores in the FMS test are correlated with high levels lower limb strength asymmetry in the soccer player; it can be assumed that movement accuracy influences jump performance. In the soccer players, the lower limb strength asymmetries are observed on the jumps performed in different planes and in different tasks.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44395975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
