This randomised controlled trial investigated changes in eccentric hamstring strength, 10m sprint speed, and change-of-direction (COD) performance immediately post Nordic curl (NHC) intervention following a 3-week detraining period. Fourteen male team sports athletes were to do-as-usual control group (CG; n = 7) or NHC (NHC; 7). Isokinetic dynamometry at 180°/s evaluated strength post-intervention as the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcomes included 10 m time COD. Each was measured,...
Nordic hamstring curls (NHC) are a commonly used injury intervention method in amateur team sports. Seventeen elite male academy soccer players performed an 8-week low volume NHC programme. Pre-post measures of isokinetic eccentric knee flexor (KF) strength, linear speed, COD performance, muscle thickness, pennation angle and fascicle length were recorded. No significant main effects observed for KF strength (P ≥ 0.19), sprint speed 0.47) or architecture 0.30). However, significance was...
Context : Training exposure has been associated with injury epidemiology in elite youth soccer, where lower-limb musculoskeletal screening is commonly used to highlight risk. However, there little consideration of the relationship between and loading response soccer activities. Objective To quantify efficacy using tests predict elicited soccer-specific activities develop a hierarchical ordering identify test redundancy inform practice. Design Correlational. Setting Professional club academy....
Background Female soccer has only recently become a professional sport within the UK. The need for accurate and reliable screening profiling of female players could assist in design injury prevention programmes. Objective To evaluate clinical joint limb measures during preseason process players. Design Cross-sectional, descriptive study. Setting Sports Therapy clinic. Participants 32 UK-based (aged 23±3.60, mass 62.41±6.37 kg, height 167±6.65 cm) participated Assessment Risk Factors factors...
It is unclear whether engagement with Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) self-directed study can enhance the learning process and augment academic achievement. As such, current aims to investigate relationship between VLE provision in a Sports Therapy module subsequent summative assessment success. The sample was comprised of 232 undergraduate BSc (Hons) students (113 male, 119 female) across three separate student cohorts (2015, 2016, 2017). Each cohort provided differing study. Analysis...
The objective was to evaluate the clinical joint and limb measures in professional female soccer players. study a cross-sectional observational design. It preseason setting. inclusion criteria were outfield players, based UK, competing highest English league. exclusion included players who had surgery last six months or missed single training session match due injury previous three months. In terms of outcome measures, dependent variables true length, ankle dorsiflexion, knee flexion...
