Methods: A retrospective analysis of the occurrence of sports injuries was carried out through a survey of the medical records. The athletes were separated into two groups: those who did not suffer injuries and those who did. The epidemiological data, minutes played and number of matches were described by measures of central tendency such as mean, mode and median, and their dispersion measures, by standard deviation. The number, type and degree of injuries, the anatomical location, moment of occurrence, laterality and position in which the athlete played were described by absolute and relative frequency. Results: Data were collected from 29 athletes who played for the club in 2017, with an overall mean age of 26.67. It was observed that the difference between means of age is significantly different between the groups of athletes who suffered injury and those who did not (P=0.0002). The age group with the highest number of injuries was from 26 to 33 year old. The average number of matches of the athletes who suffered injuries was on average 3.12 higher (P=0.0122) than those who did not, as well as the athletes who suffered injuries played on average 1184.8 minutes more than those who did not suffer injuries (P=0.0120). The most prevalent injury was muscle strain, with 27.59% (n=8), followed by sprain and myalgia, both with 13.79% (n=4), contusion and rupture, corresponding to 10.34% (n=3). Conclusion: The study looked at the high frequency of musculoskeletal injuries in current soccer, especially strain, myalgia and sprain. The high prevalence of injuries during training and, especially, during the second half of the official matches are also noteworthy.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43003981","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}

A representative sample of boys and girls between the ages of 9-12 were examined to indicate whether participation in organized youth sport created a positive effect on the risk of obesity. Obesity is defined as the body mass index (BMI) of boys and girls between ages 9-12 is BMI ≥95th percentile (30+ BMI) & Overweight is BMI ≥85th percentile (25-29 BMI). Children who were sport participants and children who were non-sport participants were the subjects for the study. A sample size of 50 kids (children between ages 9-12 – 25 sport participants and 25 non-sport participants) was randomly selected at one city elementary school in Georgia. Over a one year span the subjects between ages 9-12 who participate in youth sports, 20 out of 25(80%) sport participants illustrated a greater variation of reduced obesity than only five children out of 25 (20%) who did not participate in youth sports were under the overweight, obese level. Data and research suggest participation in youth sports between the ages of 9-12 for boys and girls have a positive effect on reducing the risk of obesity. Supplementary variables also were used in the study such as diet of sport participants versus non-sport participants. Studies also indicated 20 out of 20 (100%) sport-participants between ages of 9-12 were more likely to consume vegetables, proteins, fruits and non-carbonated beverages versus non-sport participants between ages of 9-12 who consumed more carbonated beverages and fast food. Additional research will foster understanding of how participating in youth sports and a healthy diet can have a positive effect on reducing obesity.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48355371","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}

This study aim to assessment hamstring eccentric strength in young soccer players to know any lower limb strength asymmetries Methods: The sample is composed of male young soccer players Under 17 (n=14, 16,6±0,5 years, 175,8±7,1cm and 70,9±9,1 kg). To assess the hamstring eccentric strength and the lower limb eccentric strength asymmetry have been used a specific dynamometer (NordBord Hamstring Testing System, Vald Performance, Australia) with software. Every young soccer player performed a single repetition of the Nordic hamstring exercise with constraint to the Nord Bord; after about 10 minutes, instead, they performed 5 repetitions of the same exercise, without interruption. All values were acquired using NordBord software: for both assessments, were detected the eccentric strength and the lower limbs strength asymmetry. Results: The evaluation of the hamstring eccentric strength does not show substantial and statistically significant differences in the single test with reference to the peak parameter. In the comparison between the average eccentric strength expressed in the 5 repetitions there is a statistically significant difference between the values expressed by the two limbs (p<0-05), and an increase in the value asymmetry is observed (15,8±5,4%). Conclusion: This difference between the two tests leads us to think that the fatigue potential effect on the hamstring muscles deriving from the number of repetitions requested, can accentuate and highlight to a greater extent the differences between the hamstrings of the two lower limbs in the young player.","PeriodicalId":93216,"journal":{"name":"MOJ sports medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42827523","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}

Today, women do not want to concede anything to men: it is not surprising to see a female leader in all ranks of positions in various fields of science, culture, education, industry, and politics or not to mention sports field. This position of a woman in society imposes the corresponding requirements on her personal qualities and, which is important for her, her external and internal form. This implies a healthy lifestyle,1–4 a high level of efficiency, both mental and physical, strengthening, maintaining and keeping a woman’s health, her spiritual and moral condition, and therefore successful psychosocial adaptation to living conditions. However, not only the position in society makes a woman to be active and healthy. We should not forget that, regardless of the functions performed by a woman in the social environment, she performs one of the most important missions for the human race – the childbearing and reproductive one. This refers the female half of humanity to a certain group of people, which, in addition to awareness of the expressed sexual identity, understands its importance and necessity.
