“…These marked differences are explained either by the lower competitive level, the execution (hands on hips) or both. A football match was shown to influence the number of Side hop contacts in injured amateur football players returning to performance as well as their uninjured teammates [ 35 ]. Although the athletes were allowed to use their arms during the Side hop, they underperformed our participants by on average 14 contacts.…”

Background Adequate movement control and quality can be prerequisite functions for performance of the lower extremity. The purposes of our work were 1) to explore the agreement of an efficient test battery assessing qualitative movement execution and 2) to determine its consistency with quantitative performance tests from the corresponding movement pattern. Methods The participants were professional male association football players competing in the first German Bundesliga. They performed four movement quality tests (Single-limb balance squat, Balance forward hop, Balance side hop, Balance 90° rotation hop) and the corresponding performance tests (Y-balance test, Forward hop for distance, Side hop test, Square hop test). Qualitative tests were judged by two experienced raters; the ratings were compared to determine inter-rater agreement using Kappa statistics. The relationship with the quantitative tests was determined using Spearman’s rank correlations. Results Thirty participants (19 to 33 years old) were included in this study. We found an at least substantial level of agreement (Cohen’s Kappa, 0.64-0.84) with an excellent percentage of exact (83-93%) agreement between the two raters for the movement quality tests. Our findings revealed that the quantitative test results are only slightly related to the movement quality outcomes (ρ(27) <|0.3| and P > 0.2). Conclusions Consequently, the qualitative test results provide unique information and complement corresponding quantitative performance tests in professional football athletes. Their observational judgement of foot position, lower limb alignment and upper body control in sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes is agreeable.

“…Existen aún muchos retos en el campo de la medicina deportiva; si bien esta revisión sistemática propone una posible dosificación del ejercicio, esta debe ser implementada y probada en futuros estudios para asegurar su efectividad, contemplando las múltiples problemáticas asociadas a la prescripción de planes preventivos en el futbol existentes, entre las cuales destacan los problemas de comunicación entre el equipo técnico y médico, los vacíos en la evidencia científica para respaldar los protocolos y, por último, la adherencia y cumplimiento de los planes (Tumiñá-Ospina et al, 2022). Finalmente, teniendo en cuenta que las lesiones generan un deterioro significativo del rendimiento deportivo, reflejado en que aproximadamente solo la mitad de los atletas que sufren una lesión en las extremidades inferiores retoman su nivel deportivo previo al evento lesivo; surge la necesidad de abordar los desafíos existentes en la toma de decisiones deportivas, que permita desarrollar planes preventivos efectivos que propendan por el retorno al rendimiento óptimo con procesos de rehabilitación multidimensional (Vereijken et al, 2020).…”

El alto nivel de exigencia del futbol hace que la prevalencia de lesiones en la disciplina sea alta, con aproximadamente 8 lesiones por cada 1000 horas de juego. Es por esto que esta revisión sistemática con metaanálisis buscó determinar los efectos y dosis-respuesta del entrenamiento excéntrico sobre las lesiones de músculos isquiotibiales de jugadores de fútbol. Para ello, se realizaron búsquedas en diferentes bases de datos entre Junio y Octubre del 2023. Seleccionando únicamente ensayos clínicos controlados aleatorizados que incluyeran intervenciones con ejercicios nórdicos o excéntricos de isquiotibiales llevados a cabo en futbolistas. Se incluyeron 10 estudios para el análisis cualitativo y 9 para el análisis cuantitativo. La edad media de los participantes de los estudios incluidos fue 22,03 ± 3,1 y osciló entre los 14,7 años y los 41 años. Al calcular el Odds ratio general se observó que el realizar ejercicios nórdicos como parte del calentamiento o posterior a los partidos disminuye significativamente la probabilidad de presentar lesiones (OR: 0,376; 95%IC: 0,241 – 0,586; p < 0,001). Esta revisión sistemática con metaanálisis sugiere que los ejercicios nórdicos son efectivos para reducir la probabilidad de lesiones en futbolistas, independientemente del sexo, nivel de competencia, momento de realización de los ejercicios y dosis utilizada. No obstante, se observaron mejores resultados en futbolistas masculinos, especialmente los profesionales, cuando se realizan después del entrenamiento, con dosis de baja frecuencia (1 vez por semana), volúmenes elevados de trabajo (>30 repeticiones/semana) y con una duración de la intervención superior a los 3 meses. Palabras clave: Hamstring Muscles; Soccer; Exercise; Systematic Review Abstract. The high demand in soccer leads to a high prevalence of injuries in the sport, with approximately 8 injuries per 1000 hours of play. Therefore, this systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to determine the effects and dose-response of eccentric training on hamstring injuries in soccer players. We searched various databases between June and October 2023 for this purpose. We selected only randomized controlled clinical trials that included interventions with Nordic or eccentric hamstring exercises performed by soccer players. Ten studies were included for qualitative analysis, and nine for quantitative analysis. The mean age of participants in the included studies was 22.03 ± 3.1 years, ranging from 14.7 years to 41 years. When calculating the overall Odds ratio, it was observed that performing Nordic exercises as part of the warm-up or after matches significantly decreased the probability of injuries (OR: 0.376; 95% CI: 0.241 - 0.586; p < 0.001). This systematic review with meta-analysis suggests that Nordic exercises are effective in reducing the likelihood of injury in soccer players, regardless of sex, level of competition, time of exercise, and dose used. However, better results were observed in male soccer players, especially professionals, when the exercises were performed after training, with low-frequency doses (1 time per week), high volumes of work (>30 repetitions/week), and with an intervention duration longer than 3 months.

“…This led to their conclusion that more prospective research is needed to determine if an association exists between standardized criteria like FPTs and return to performance following lower extremity injury. 5 Peterson et al surveyed surgeons performing ACLRs and found that most physicians will release an injured athlete to return to sport based on predetermined time frames for the specific injury rather than muscle function at the time of RTP; however, these time frames are not standardized among physicians. 6 This could result in physicians releasing athletes before full recovery, thus increasing the potential for re-injury.…”

Background Functional performance tests (FPT) have been used with athletes following an injury to determine readiness to return-to-play (RTP), usually using limb symmetry indices to the contralateral limb or a baseline score. There is not a consensus as to which criterion scores are best compared. Hypothesis/Purpose This study aimed to compare common functional performance test scores from injured athletes at the time of release to RTP to both preseason baseline scores and to the contralateral limb. It was hypothesized that using baseline scores for comparison would be more responsive to residual deficits following injury than using the contralateral limb. Study Design Prospective longitudinal cohort study Methods High school athletes (n=395) from all varsity sports completed a battery of FPTs including the Y-Balance Test (YBT), single limb hop tests and T-Test for agility (TT) during their preseason to establish baseline data. Injured athletes (n=19) were re-tested using all FTP’s again at the time of RTP. Paired t-tests were used to detect if significant (p<0.05) residual deficits were present at time of RTP when compared to baseline and to contralateral scores on FPTs. Results Differences in YBT scores were found in the anterior direction only (p=0.021) when comparing RTP to preseason, but there were no differences when compared to RTP data for the contralateral limb. Differences were detected with the single leg hop test (p = 0.001) when comparing the RTP to preseason and were also detected in both the single leg hop (p= 0.001) and triple hop (p=0.018) when compared to the contralateral limb. Differences in TT scores were detected when comparing RTP to preseason for cutting first with both the unaffected (p = 0.019) and affected (p = 0.014) limbs. Conclusions The YBT in the anterior direction and the TT are better able to detect residual deficits when comparing RTP to preseason scores. Hop tests are better able to detect deficits when compared to the contralateral limb. These results could make preseason testing more efficient when creating a reference for determining RTP readiness following lower extremity injury.
