“…Therefore, we propose that obese people should undergo weight reduction and be advised to do low-intensity exercises that improve flexibility, balance, and muscle strength. 34,35 Our study has several limitations that should be noted. First, the study uses self-reported weight and height information to determine BMI and overweight and obese individuals have been reported to under-report body weight.…”

Background: The prevalence of obesity and injury has increased in Asian countries, but the relationship between obesity and injury is less well established. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), the occurrence of injury, and the injury-related expenditure among Taiwanese adults. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: Our study sample consisted of 12 520 adults aged 18 years or older from the 2001 National Health Interview Survey, who had consented to the linking of their survey responses with their National Health Insurance claims records. Cox proportional hazards regression and a two-part model were used for analysis. Results: The results show that there was a positive association between BMI and injury. Relative to normal-weight adults, the hazard ratio (HR) of injury were 1.21 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08-1.36) for obese class II adults and 1.11 (95% CI: 1.05-1.18) for obese class I adults, after adjusting for confounding factors. The HR of sustained strain/sprain rose to statistical significance (Po0.001) among persons with a higher BMI. For obese class II and I adults, the adjusted injury-related expenditure levels were 33.4 and 15.6%, respectively, greater than those of normal-weight adults. Conclusions: There was a strong positive relationship between high BMI and increased risk of injury as well as higher injuryrelated expenditure. Specifically, a high BMI was associated with an increased risk of strain/sprain. Low-intensity flexibility, strength, and balance training programs should be considered in addition to weight reduction programs to prevent strain/sprain for obese adults.

However in western countries, the application to emergency units in hospitals have also increased for 19 and under 19 aged children. It is known that the economic loss have increased due to higher treatment costs and being off-game for a long time during treatment. The risk factors of sports injuries in adolescents are categorized in two titles as intrinsic and extrinsic. The basic principles in preventing adolescent athlete injuries are as follows: choosing the suitable sports for children, doing regular health examinations, doing stretching exercises, returning back to sports in proper time after injury treatment and rehabilitation, the reorganization of sport rules and fields according to adolescents, using protective sport equipments, teaching health rules to adolescent athlete and improving the athlete's condition. It has also been shown that the injuries decrease significantly when the preventive strategies for active and passive injuries are used according to protocols. (Turk Arch Ped 2011; 46 Suppl: 46-8)

“…[3] Young people are particularly at risk of sports injury because of high levels of exposure at a time of major physiological change. [4] The importance of injury prevention in football (IPF) among young players cannot be overemphasised as talented players need to stay injury-free as far as possible, to get to the peak of their careers. Implementation of injury-prevention measures in this extremely vulnerable population of disadvantaged youth is therefore imperative.…”

Background. Exposure to competitive football is increasing among male youth football players in Nigeria. However, medical support to abate the impact of injuries appears inadequate and there is limited literature to show whether youth football players are knowledgeable about, and practise effective measures for injury prevention in football (IPF). Objective. To assess the knowledge and behaviour of male youth football players regarding IPF and the availability of medical care for players. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study among all registered first-division players of a male youth football league in Lagos, Nigeria. Using a self-administered questionnaire, we assessed players' knowledge regarding IPF, awareness of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) 11+ injury-prevention programme, injury-prevention behaviour and availability of medical attendants during training and competitive matches. Results. The mean age of the players was 18.5 years (standard deviation (SD) ±1.7; range 12 -19). Their overall mean knowledge score regarding IPF was 4.40 (SD ±1.92) from a total score of 9, with the majority falling into the poor (39.1%) and fair (43.9%) knowledge categories. Most (79.3%) players were not aware of the FIFA 11+ programme. Less than half (40.5%) wore shin guards during training sessions, while 52.5% reported wearing shin guards during matches. Less than two-thirds always warmed up or cooled down at training or matches. About three-quarters (73.1%) and over half (52.1%) reported not having medical attendants working with their teams during matches and training, respectively. Conclusion. There is a clear deficiency in the knowledge and behaviour of injury-prevention measures among Nigerian male youth football players, and adequate medical care is lacking. There is a need for injury-prevention advocacy and implementation of effective interventions to bridge the identified deficiencies in youth football in Nigeria.S Afr J SM 2013;25(3):77-80.
