Apophyseal injuries are common in children and adolescent athletes. These believed to be caused by repetitive overloading, which can create inflammatory degenerative conditions growing bone prominences. However, their prevalence, diagnosis, treatment young soccer players have been understudied.To evaluate characteristics of apophyseal athletes at an elite academy.Case series; Level evidence, 4.All between July 2008 June 2015 were evaluated. For each injury, the authors recorded type...
Background In adults, hamstring injuries may lead to long periods of rehabilitation and carry a definite risk recurrence. However, no studies detail how these affect young athletes. Objective To describe analyze in the area identify factors for this age group, which will make it possible design optimize prevention plans. Methods The study population consisted 1157 athletes with an average 13.56 years, all members Barcelona Football Club. Injuries over three consecutive seasons (from July...
Purpose : This study examined the physical determinants of 60-m sprint and long jump (LJ) performance differences between maturity groups in characteristics young male track-and-field athletes. Methods Competition results, countermovement jump, isometric leg press, 10-5 repeated test, 50-m were collected over 3 seasons for 54 athletes (age 13 [1] y; stature 160.0 [8.9] cm; body mass, 48.0 [9.8] kg; percentage predicted adult height 92.2% [5.5%]) grouped by status: approaching- (n = 16),...
To provide the first scrutiny of adult height prediction protocols based on automated Greulich-Pyle and Tanner-Whitehouse (TW) skeletal ages applied to elite youth soccer players from Middle East.We examined application modified Bayley-Pinneau (BoneXpert®), TW-II, TW-III using mixed-longitudinal data available for 103 subjects (chronological age range, 19.4 27.9 yr) previously enrolled as academy student-athletes (annual screening one six visits). Random-effects generalized additive models...
To examine the timing and intensity of skeletal maturation radius-ulna-short (RUS) bones in elite youth Arab athletes.We compared SuperImposition by Translation And Rotation (SITAR) models with different spline degrees freedom transformation expressions to summarize 492 longitudinal measurements for individual RUS scores assessed from 99 male academy student-athletes (chronological age range, 11.4 18 years; annual screening four seven visits).The SITAR model 5 untransformed chronological was...
This study aimed to explore the influence of differences in relative skeletal maturity on performance test outcomes elite youth soccer players from Middle East.We integrated age and assessments using mixed-longitudinal data available for 199 outfield (chronological range, 11.7 17.8 yr) enrolled as academy student-athletes (annual screening 1 5 visits). Skeletal was determined per Tanner-Whitehouse II protocol. Relative calculated difference (∆) between minus chronological age. Performance...
Objective: To describe the relationship between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and time to return sport (RTS) from muscle injuries in youth athletes. Design: Prospective collection of injury surveillance data over 6 seasons (2014-2015 2019-2020) reanalysis MRIs by a radiologist blinded RTS after period. Setting: National sports academy medicine hospital. Participants: Male (11-19 years) athletes participating football (soccer) or athletics (track field) programs with injury....
We compared electrocardiograms (ECGs) findings with one year difference between each other and without use of face mask at the moment to be tested. The first ECG was done before mask, second a later after 3 months mandatory for epidemiological COVID-19 pandemic justifications in healthy youth elite athletes. Regarding heart rate variability (HRV), an increase RMSSD recorded when test performed (M): 108.5 ± 90 ms vs. No (NM): 72.9 54.2 (p <0.002). And also SDNN, M: 86.2 47.2 NM: 65.9 43.5...
To assess measurement agreement between FELS and Tanner-Whitehouse (TW) II skeletal ages in male youth soccer players from the Middle East.We examined TW-II using data collected between- within-subjects (n = 1057 observations) for 409 male, full-time, academy student-athletes recruited as part of Qatar Football Association national development programme (chronological age range, 9.8 to 18 years; annual screening one seven visits). The Bland-Altman method repeated measurements estimated...
To assess conventional assumptions that underpin the percentage of mature height index as simple ratio screening (numerator) divided by actual or predicted adult (denominator).We examined cross-sectional data from 99 academy youth soccer players (chronological age range, 11.5 to 17.7 y) skeletally immature at time and with measurements available follow-up.The y-intercept value -60 cm (95% confidence interval, -115 -6 cm) linear regression between indicated failure meet zero assumption. The...
The objective of this study is to describe the relationship between injury incidence (IL) and maturity in male elite handball's player (HbP). Prospective during two seasons, evaluating sports injuries, status exposure time hours 133 young players, under UEFA methodology model for epidemiological studies. We discuss stage with different parameters, Tanner's stage, puberty stages, peak high velocity, testicular volume, bone age. Finally, 190 injuries a total 34.222 h were registered. average...
PURPOSE: To describe a simple and safe technique for assessing the laxity of ankle. The linear transducer ultrasound through middle high frequencies is useful evaluation muskuloskeletal sports injuries. Ankle sprains are very common injuries, instability one most decisive prognostic factors. METHODS: Evaluation external tibiotalar in anterior sense valgus. In patients who have suffered an acute ankle injury or chronic instability. patient placed lateral decubitus on his healthy side, with...
