“…The fact that SLT significantly reduced the ROM of the knee and hip joint suggests it is possible that SLT and classical balance training have another characteristic in common; the prevention of lower limb injuries. Several studies have reported classical balance training and coordination training were associated with reduced incidence of lower limb injuries (DiStefano et al, 2009;Hubscher et al, 2010;McGuine, Greene, Best, & Leverson, 2000;Wang, Chen, Shiang, Jan, & Lin, 2006). It is speculated that balance training counteracts deficits in proprioception (joint sense), postural control and muscle imbalance and/or muscle weakness, which are considered intrinsic risk factors for sports injuries.…”

The present study investigated whether or not four weeks of supervised slackline training (SLT) performed on nylon webbing improves postural stability. Twenty-four healthy adults participated in the study and were assigned to either SLT (n 012) or a control (CON) group (n012). The SLT group completed a four week training program, while the CON group received no training. Centre of gravity (COG) and joint angles (ankle, knee and hip) were calculated using whole body three-dimensional (3D) kinematic measurements during single leg standing on a stable surface (SS) and on a perturbed surface (PS) before and after training. After SLT, a significant interaction was found for the SS condition in anteriorposterior COG mean velocity, whereas no changes were observed in the medio-lateral direction or in joint kinematics. In the PS condition, the medio-lateral COG mean velocity, frontal angular range of motion in the knee and hip joint, sagittal angular mean velocity in the knee joint, as well as frontal angular mean velocity in the hip joint were reduced in the SLT group only (all P B0.05). No significant training effects were detected in the ankle joint kinematics in either group from pre to post test. Our findings demonstrate that four weeks of supervised SLT improves postural stability in single leg stance on a stable surface and/or during compensation of perturbations.

“…Especially ankle and knee injuries are often reported as there are studies only focusing on these injuries [14][15][16]20,21,25,29,30,34,36,44,45]. There are two studies focusing only on shoulder injuries [17,42].…”

“…For instance, noncontact injuries occur more often when defending instead of ball handling with a relative risk (95% confidence interval (CI)) of 1.36 (1.08 -1.73) for all injuries and a relative risk of 1.45 (1.01-2.50) for ankle injuries [35]. Another risk factor, mentioned by multiple studies is postural sway (horizontal movement of the center of gravity while standing) [30,44]. McGuine et al showed that the odds of sustaining an ankle injury is 10.2 (p = 0.001) for players with a high postural sway.…”

Objective: Currently, there is no overview of the incidence and (basketball-specific) risk factors of musculoskeletal injuries among recreational basketball players, nor any insight into the effect of preventive measures on the incidence of basketball injuries. This study aimed to gather systematically the scientific evidence on the incidence, prevalence, aetiology and preventive measures for musculoskeletal injuries among recreational basketball players. Methods: Highly sensitive search strategies were built based on three groups of keywords (and related search terms). Two electronic databases were searched, namely Medline (biomedical literature) via Pubmed, and SPORTDiscus (sports and sports medicine literature) via EBSCOhost. Results: The incidence of musculoskeletal injuries among recreational basketball players ranged from 0.0047 injuries per 1,000 athlete-exposures (AE) for dental injuries to 10.1 injuries per 1000 AE for overall injuries during match play. Significant risk factors for injuries were defending, postural sway, high vertical ground reaction force during jumping and weight >75 kg. All prevention studies have shown to have a significant effect on reducing the risk of injury ranging from an odds ratio (95% confidence interval (CI)) of 0.175 (0.049-0.626) for training injuries and a relative risk (95% CI) of 0.83 (0.57-1.19) achieved with FIFA 11+ prevention exercises and sport-specific balance training, relatively. Conclusion: In order to gain insight in the aetiology of basketball-specific injuries and consequently facilitate the development of preventive strategies, more high quality basketball-specific and injuryspecific studies among recreational basketball players are needed.

“…In such cases, they displayed a high variation of postural stability outcomes and were more likely to suffer injuries during sport sessions (Hickey et al, 2009;Killen, Gabbett, & Jenkins, 2010;Wang et al, 2006). Sport researchers, strength and conditioning coaches, and athletic trainers could benefit from a known relationship between postural performance, lower limbs asymmetries and injuries (i.e.…”

“…(1) We did not exclude team handball players with a previous history of lower extremity ankle sprains. We assumed that players, who had these injuries and showed no residual symptoms for more than a year, did not differ significantly from the other players (McGuine, Greene, Best, & Leverson, 2000;Wang, Chen, Shiang, Jan, & Lin, 2006); (2) We have no control group in this study. However, the inclusion of a control group consisting of high-level athletes required not to practice the sport for an entire season would be impossible and unethical, as withholding training would be detrimental to the players' development; (3) we analyzed only one specific sport with very specific demands for postural control, and our results cannot be generalized to other sports.…”

Abstract-It is unclear whether athletes change their postural control over the course of a full sport season, or become more asymmetrical with respect to their neuromuscular performance over the same period. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a full sport season on the postural control of team handball elite athletes. Ten healthy, elite male team handball players performed bipodal standing (BP) and right and left unipodal standing (UP) during 30s. We used the RMS and speed of the center of pressure to describe postural sway. For the BP task, the sway was lower at the end of the season (p<0.005). For the UP tasks, the sway was lower at the end of the season only for the non-dominant limb (p<0.001). Differences between limbs were observed only at the end of the season (p<0.03). In conclusion, a full team handball season did not lead to deterioration of the athletes' postural control, but by the end of the season, the athletes were more asymmetrical.Keywords: exercise performance, biomechanics, motor control, postural stability, stabilometry, physical performanceResumo-"Efeitos da temporada completa em parâmetros estabilométricos em atletas de handebol de elite." Não é claro na literatura científica se atletas mudam seu controle postural ao longo de uma temporada esportiva, ou mesmo se tornam mais assimétricos em relação ao seu desempenho neuromuscular durante o mesmo período. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os efeitos de uma temporada esportiva completa no controle postural de atletas de elite do handebol. Dez jogadores de elite de handebol, saudáveis, realizaram a tarefa de postura ereta quieta bipodal (BP) e unipodal direito e esquerdo durante 30 segundos. Foi utilizada a RMS e a velocidade do centro de pressão para descrever a oscilação postural. Para a tarefa de BP, a oscilação foi menor após a temporada esportiva (p < 0,005). Para as tarefas unipodais, a oscilação foi menor após temporada esportiva apenas para o membro não dominante (p < 0,001). Apenas após a temporada, foram observadas diferenças entre os membros (p < 0,03). Em conclusão, uma temporada esportiva para o handebol não levou à deterioração do controle postural dos atletas, entretanto no final da temporada, os atletas apresentaram-se mais assimétricos.Palavras-chave: desempenho do exercício, biomecânica, controle motor, estabilidade postural, desempenho físico Resumen-"Efectos de la temporada completa en parámetros estabilométricos en atletas de balonmano de élite."
