The main focus of this paper was base on ACL injuries within young female athletes. As previously mentioned ACL rates have shown an increase over the past 20 years with females being more at risk than males. What is a prevention program? Prevention programs are programs designed to modify or eliminate risk factors in order to reduce injuries (Alentorn-Geli et al., 2009). In this case these programs can help female athletes reduce ACL exposure by either having them participate in the programs criteria or educate the athlete, parents and coaches of possible injury.
She has experience training and dealing with sports individuals that have had injuries in the process of play and conducting exercises. It is important to examine the extent of the injury attained at an early stage as she notes to avoid further harm. The author had extensive experience and had to research on the most appropriate measures and response strategies whenever an injury occurs in the playing process. The research provides valuable information on possible injuries that will affect a player, their impacts on health and the most appropriate preventive
People think that cross country is easy and doesn´t have any difficulty. They are wrong! Cross country doesn’t only consist on running at a constant pace throw a considerable distance. When comparing the running styles of a track runner and cross country runner we notice a huge difference. As when running cross country you need to move the different parts of the body in an optimum position to ensure your performance is the best.
Touch football has been the preferred sport by HPE teachers to teach, due to its ‘softer’ approach to tackling, lessening injuries and paperwork. However, one may argue that the HPE students playing less effectively in the sport did not have their strengths and limitations tailored to for a position. To optimise the students’ full potential for Touch, students were placed under a series of tests involving the three energy systems. The Adenosine Triphosphate – Creatine Phosphate system, known as ATP-CP, is known to be the system first relied on in the first few seconds of training or exercise, regardless of intensity [1]. The human body synthesises a small amount of ATP and CP for fast acceleration, commonly sustaining high intensity training

The article is titled the adjunctive role imagery on the functional rehabilitation of a grade II ankle sprain by Anna Christakou, Yannis Zervas, and David Lavallee. The purpose of the study was to see if imagery had a positive effect along with physical therapy on improving muscular endurance, dynamic balance, and functional stability on athletes who suffered from grade II ankle sprains.
First and foremost, this program is about improving the flexibility in your hips. When that happens, you will increase your strength and speed as well.
The focus of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of task specific gait training compared to standard prosthetic gait training in reducing falls in individuals with a lower extremity amputation. The fall risk for individuals with a lower extremity amputation is comparable to that of individuals with balance impairments. Reported incidences of falls are 20% to 32% during rehabilitation and 52% within the community (). There can be many causes for a lower extremity amputation, the most common being poor circulation due to the damaging or narrowing of the arteries also known as peripheral artery disease. Other causes include trauma, tumors in the muscle or bone, infection and neuroma. The intervention investigated is task specific gait
Anabolic steroids are a synthetic derivative of testosterone. Anabolic steroids promote the storage of protein and the growth of tissue. It was created to treat hypogonadism, which is a condition in which the testes do not produce enough testosterone for normal growth, and sexual functioning. There is no cure for hypogonadism; however, anabolic steroids are used for treatment. A few years after they were made, people began illegally using them for body building. This paper will be about the creation of anabolic steroids, abuse of anabolic steroids, and stories of anabolic steroid users.
As you ride up the lift, you see the little snowflakes make their way to the ground. “Fresh powder!” You think. As you ascend the mountain, you see people speeding by down the slopes. All the trees are covered thickly in white powder. As you step off the lift, you head straight for the trail, and start zooming down. You speed by your friends as you have adrenaline running through your veins! You head straight for the ramp and you jump! Soaring through the air like an eagle you touch down to the ground, and stop down at the bottom of the mountain. Skiing is a fun winter pastime that is way healthier than sitting by the fire. Skiing is a fun, rewarding, and challenging sport! Did you know, skiing is no modern sport? However, don 't forget there
Ageism is discrimination or prejudice based solely on a person’s age, an extreme issue in many elderly clients that reside in sheltered housing communities, as well as quality of life. Bodner, Cohen- Friedel, and Yaretzky conducted a study involving awareness and beliefs about ageism and quality of life in sheltered housing versus those feelings in seniors who live outside such an environment. It was anticipated that that seniors within sheltered housing would have elevated agist attitudes. To test this hypothesis, they took a sample of one hundred twenty six volunteers between the ages of sixty four and ninety four. The contributors completed a survey called the Fraboni scale of ageism, and a Quality of Life (QoL) Inventory. Bodner, Cohen-
We first double-pithed a frog in order to immobilize the frog. Next, use a scalpel to cut the skin of the frog around the abdomen so as to peel the skin down and off the legs easily. Use a Ringer’s solution to keep the frog moist at all times. Glass probe was used to expose the sciatic nerve from between the thigh muscles on to the knee. A 25-cm piece of thread was slipped under the Achilles tendon at the heel of the frog to secure it. The gastrocnemius muscle of the frog was dissected away from the tibio-fibula bone while still being attached to the knee. The other parts such as the foot, thigh muscles and others were removed from the tibio-fibula except for the sciatic nerve and gastrocnemius. Bone shears was used to cut the tibio-fibula bond 8-10mm below the knee. The femur was cut close to the hip joint. The muscle left in the petri dish was moistened using the Frog Ringer’s until ready to
Muscular strength, power, and speed are defined as the three vital skills needed by taekwondo players in their sport, as stated in Physical Training in Taekwondo: Generic and Specific Training (Haddad, 2014). Muscular strength is defined by Hall, E. (2003) as the ability of a muscle group to develop maximal contractile force against a resistance in a single contraction. Greenfield, B. (2016) suggests that power and speed goes hand-in-hand with strength. Greenfield (2016) defined power as the ability to generate high amounts of force over a period over a short time, while defining speed as the ability to travel a set distance over as short a period of time as possible. These vital skills allows a taekwondo player’s muscular units in the lower extremeties the ability to kick, jump, and maintain stances. According to this study, their hasn’t been a consensus about the different investigative studies done on the effect of muscular strength training in taekwondo, and only one study investigated speed and agility in low frequency taekwondo training measured through 50m shuttle run test (Kim, 2011). The study suggests that the findings are the result of low number of training sessions or non-sufficient stimulus eliciting speed and
When people think about sports and athletics, the subject of physics doesn’t always comes to their mind. But the influence of physics is found in every aspect of the sport. Physics is simple as a bouncing of a ball or complex as a roller coaster. Each single movement in a sport contains a great deal of physics. Every sport consumes multiple of physics principles. There can’t be any sport played without physics. Physics has a vital role in the field of sports.
