“…Though the database used for the present study did not contain information that would help identify the source of increased anterior asymmetry on the SEBT, such as ankle dorsiflexion range of motion or lower extremity muscle strength imbalances, previous research suggests that deficits in strength, flexibility, and neuromuscular control may influence injury risk. 14,18,26 To facilitate development of screening and training programs that effectively reduce injury risk, future research should aim to determine the underlying causes of increased anterior asymmetry. Sideto-side asymmetry normalized to limb length has been previously described in healthy Division I collegiate athletes, 27 but to the authors' knowledge, the present study is the first to associate these values with injury.…”

Study Design Retrospective cohort. Background Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) performance differs by sport in healthy collegiate athletes, and lower extremity injury rates also vary by sport, sex, and athletic exposure. The relationship between SEBT performance and injury risk has not been evaluated with consideration of these additional variables, which may be necessary to fully describe the relationship between SEBT performance and injury risk. Objectives To assess the association between preseason SEBT performance and noncontact injury occurrence to the knee or ankle in Division I collegiate athletes when controlling for sport, sex, and athletic exposure. Methods Star Excursion Balance Test performance, starting status, and injury status were reviewed retrospectively in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I collegiate athletes from a single institution. A total of 147 athletes were healthy at the time of preseason SEBT testing and either remained healthy (n = 118) or sustained a noncontact injury to the knee or ankle (n = 29) during their sport's subsequent competitive season. Side-to-side asymmetries were calculated in each direction as the absolute difference in reach distance between limbs. Star Excursion Balance Test reach distances and asymmetries were compared between groups using multivariable regression, controlling for sport, sex, and athletic exposure (starter, nonstarter). Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to determine optimal sensitivity and specificity for significant models. Results When controlling for sport, sex, and athletic exposure, SEBT side-to-side asymmetry in the anterior direction, expressed as an absolute or normalized to limb length, discriminated between injured and noninjured athletes (area under the curve greater than 0.82). Conclusion Assessing side-to-side reach asymmetry in the anterior direction of the SEBT may assist in identifying collegiate athletes who are at risk for sustaining noncontact injuries to the knee or ankle.

“…IPPs reduce injury risk by improving neuromuscular strength, agility and limb coordination with a combination of strength, plyometric and balance exercises. A meta-analysis comprising over 100 000 athletes in the review by Soomro et al showed that IPPs reduced the risk of injury by 32% (IRR=0.68, 95% CI 0.54 to 0.84, p<0.05) 6. These data support the practice of other sports such as soccer, rugby, AFL and basketball that have implemented such programmes at community level 6–10…”

BackgroundInjury prevention programmes (IPPs) are effective in reducing injuries among adolescent team sports. However, there is no validated cricket-specific IPP despite the high incidence of musculoskeletal injuries among amateur cricketers.ObjectivesTo evaluate whether a cricket injury prevention programme (CIPP) as a pretraining warm-up or post-training cool-down can reduce injury rates in amateur cricket players.MethodsCIPP is a cluster randomised controlled trial which includes 36 male amateur club teams having cricket players aged 14–40 years to be randomly assigned to three study arms: warm-up, cool-down and control (n=12 teams, 136 players in each arm). The intervention groups will perform 15 min CIPP either as a pretraining warm-up or a post-training cool-down.Outcome measuresThe primary outcome measure will be injury incidence per 1000 player hours and the secondary outcome measures will be whether IPP as a warm-up is better than IPP as a cool-down, and the adherence to the intervention.Trial registration numberACTRN 1261700047039.

“…The perfect warm-up exercise will not only make our body to exercise state, but also improve the psychological state, increase the enthusiasm of participating in sports. [6] Improve the objective conditions of amateur sports training. The front has made certain elaboration on the relationship between sports venues, equipment and sports injuries, and to break through the venue, equipment of Amateur Sports Limited, a state, society must increase the sports infrastructure investment, such as not only to build the school playground, the purchase of equipment should be, should also increase the maintenance of investment rugged, too slippery, too much debris to clean up the site, the equipment does not meet the requirements of the timely replacement and maintenance, to ensure the use function; on the other hand, the athletes before training instructors should also carry out detailed inspection of the facilities and equipment, to ensure compliance with the movement of the corresponding standards, reduce the possibility of sports injury.…”

Abstract. With the improvement of living standards, people's health awareness campaign has gradually increased, more and more people choose to carry out physical training in spare time, in order to improve body function, improve immunity, but the movement is a process of scientific system, many people are lack of scientific guidance in training, often resulted in sports injury. Light weight, skin abrasions, skeletal muscle injury, and these sports injury not only terminated the exercise, will pose a threat to the health, therefore, this article from the current status of amateur sports training of our country, combining with the common sports injury, the reasons are analyzed, and to explore the corresponding countermeasures, in order to have help to improve the overall level of amateur sports training in china.

The Efficacy of Injury Prevention Programs in Adolescent Team Sports

Abstract: Clinical practitioners (eg, orthopaedics, physical therapists) and sports practitioners (eg, strength and conditioners, coaches) can respectively recommend and implement IPPs similar to those examined to help reduce injury rates in adolescent team sports contexts.
