Abstract Background The biological mechanisms involved in non-contact musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries (NCMSTI) are poorly understood. Genetic risk factors may be associated with susceptibility to injuries, and exert marked influence on recovery times. Methods Data type degree of injury time were collected 73 male professional soccer players (43 White, 11 Black Africans 19 Hispanics) who suffered total 242 (203 muscle, 24 ligament, 15 tendon injuries). One single nucleotide polymorphism...

Recently, there has been growing interest in injury prevention for football and other team sports, including the development of models frameworks to guide efforts. However, many existing are geared towards conduct research do not reflect everyday approach sports medicine science practitioners working professional teams. Here, we present a new model, Team-sport Injury Prevention (TIP) cycle, specifically aimed at medicine/science practitioner. It involves simple continual cycle with three key...

In recent years, different classifications for muscle injuries have been proposed based on the topographic location of injury within bone-tendon-muscle chain. We hereby propose that in addition to classification injuries, a histoarchitectonic (description damage connective tissue structures) definition be included nomenclature. Thus, nomenclature should focus not only macroscopic anatomy but also features injury.
