Overuse Injuries in Sport: a Biomechanical Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
Sporting injuries may be generally divided into those caused by an impact, where there is a sudden increase in the force applied to the body (an inappropriate landing in Australian football or rugby) or those produced through overuse. Overuse injuries are generally due to overload or repetitive microtrauma of the musculoskeletal system, where a number of repetitive forces each lower than the critical limit of selected tissues produce a combined fatigue effect in that tissue over a period.

متن کاملTherapeutic efficiency and biomechanical effects of sport insoles in female runners
Introduction Orthopaedic insoles are used in sports medicine practice to treat overuse injuries although clinical evidence is still lacking. There are only few randomized controlled trials with male cohorts available [1]. Moreover, biomechanical effects of insoles remain unclear. Besides mechanical effects ("alignment of the skeleton"), sensorimotor effects are discussed suggesting an influence...
متن کاملOveruse Knee Injuries in Athletes
According to many statistics over 55% of all sports-related injuries are incurred in the knee joint (active sportsmen and recreationists). The statistics definitely differ, depending on type of sport and specific movements habitually performed in a particular sport. Therefore, in addition to acute knee injuries overuse syndromes are common in the knee area also due to specificities of patellofe...

This study evaluated the incidence, distribution and types of musculoskeletal injuries sustained by 95 track and field athletes in a 12 month period using a retrospective cohort design, and analysed selected training, anthropometric, menstrual and clinical biomechanical risk factors. Overall, 72 athletes sustained 130 injuries giving an athlete incidence rate of 76% and an injury exposure rate ...
متن کاملGender differences in sport injury risk and types of inju-ries: a retrospective twelve-month study on cross-country skiers, swimmers, long-distance runners and soccer players.
This twelve months survey compared injury risk and injury types by genders (312 females, 262 males) in 15- to 35-year-old cross-country skiers, swimmers, long- distance runners and soccer players. More male than female athletes reported at least one acute injury (44% vs. 35%, p < 0.05), and more male than female runners reported at least one overuse injury (69% vs. 51%, p < 0.05). When the inci...
