Aim: This article is aimed as a guide to a clinician who sees a patient representing with persistent groin pain after they have undergone a sports hernia repair. Methods & Results : Groin pain related to a repetitive strain injury better known as either inguinal disruption, athletic pubalgia or more commonly the sportsman’s groin is discussed. Once a diagnosis of the loss of the inguinal canal integrity or a posterior wall weakness is diagnosed and then surgically treated by any technique, any further recurrence or persistence of groin pain requires evaluation for the other possible causes of groin pain. Diagnoses such as an adductor tendinopathy, rectus abdominis origin tear, femoroacetabular impingement, pubic bone oedema or even the presence of a true hernia must again be re-evaluated. Any specific management will subsequently be aimed at the other cause (s). Discussion : Understanding of the complexity of the groin both anatomically, as well as physiologically, will help diagnose and treat persistent and recurrent groin pain, with a multi-disciplinary approach key to a successful outcome.

The three most fundamental variations of the barbell squat with the bar placed on the shoulders are the high-bar back squat (HBBS), the low-bar back squat (LBBS), and the front squat (FS). There are significant kinematic, kinetic, and biomechanical distinctions between these variations that should be considered in the exercise selection. In comparison to the high-bar variations, the LBBS results in a greater hip joint torque and greater activation of the hip extensor muscles. In contrast, during the FS, the m. quadriceps is utilized more compared to the other two variations due to an increased torque in the knee joint. Regarding the relation between hip and knee joint torques, the HBBS is an intermediate and more balanced exercise variation than the LBBS and the FS. The HBBS is a fundamental exercise in athletic conditioning and a suitable starting point for novices, whereas the LBBS is preferred when the primary objective is to maximize weightlifting performance. The FS is crucial for athletes performing the clean and its derivates since it trains the required body position for a successful catch and might be the biomechanically advantageous variation if the goal is to target the knee extensor muscles. However, the differences in terms of knee extensor demands, muscle activation and kinematics between the HBBS and FS seem to be minimal, as the literature indicates similar results when comparing the FS to the HBBS. As far as analysis methods are concerned, even though 3D movement analysis is regarded as the gold standard for motion capture and analyzing kinematics, 2D models seem to serve as a valid initial guide in order to understand the kinematics and biomechanics of different squat variations.

The present study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of a Greek version of the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire [1] from a sample of 405 Greek athletes of varied sports. The original scale was developed to assess sport-specific burnout and includes three subscales consisting of fifteen items: (a) emotional/physical exhaustion (b) reduced sense of accomplishment and (c) sport devaluation. Initially, exploratory factor analysis had the GR-ABQ consisted of three factors consisting of 13 items that matched the hypothesized factor structure. Subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis results indicated a 1st order three factor model provided a very good fit to the data compared to alternative models. Also, moderate correlations between the ABQ subscales and anxiety, motivation, mood state, and self-confidence provided concurrent validity evidence. These findings provide evidence of the validity and reliability of GR-ABQ and an initial understanding of burnout in Greek athlete population.

Concussions present with a myriad of symptoms and deficits related to balance, cognition, and vestibular/ocular motor assessments. To increase accuracy in concussion diagnosis and management, baseline assessments are recommended to provide individualized, pre-injury assessment measures. While symptom reduction and recovery may be aided by physical activity postconcussion, further information is needed to understand the potential influence of post- exercise symptoms in healthy athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of acute exercise on baseline measures of concussion including the SCAT5, KD, ImPACT, BESS, and VOMS. We completed a cross-sectional, laboratory study with 1 independent variable group (exercise, control). Subjects were matched on sex, age, and sport- related concussion (SRC) history and then randomly allocated into the exercise or control group prior to data collection. The dependent variables were comprised of outcome scores from the ImPACT, SCAT5, BESS, VOMS, and K-D test. A total of 93 recreationally active college students (age range = 18-24 years; physical exertion n = 47, control n = 46) were recruited to participate in this study. The exercise group engaged in a one-time, 15-minute exercise protocol before completing the SRC assessments, while the control group completed the SRC assessment protocol in a rested state. Significant differences were noticed between groups on SCAT total number of symptoms and symptom severity, as well as ImPACT symptom severity score, with the control group scoring higher in all categories. For future practice, sports medicine professionals should consider the effect exercise may have on baseline measurements of concussions, specifically symptoms. It may be beneficial to conduct baseline measurements after practice or conditioning, for a better indication of the athlete’s true baseline. Additionally, it is important that clinicians and sports medicine professionals continue to use a multimodal approach when treating concussions, as symptoms alone may not be a good indication.

Introduction: The objective of this study is to present an anatomotographic description of a new surgical approach, making possible the combined reconstruction of injuries of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) and the Posterolateral Complex (PLC) of the Knee, using the arthroscopic approach, combined with the technique of direct visualization. of the tibial bed (INLAY), performed through a single extended posterolateral access. Methods: ten cadaver knees were studied, simulating a videoarthroscopic stage and the proposed lateral approach. The parameters evaluated: (1) anatomical structures involved in the expansion of access (2) topographic analysis of the relationship between popliteal muscle and popliteal artery; (3) identification of the quadrilateral tibial zone for fixation under direct visualization (INLAY) (4) preservation of the posterior joint capsule (5) identification of lacerations to the vasculonervous bundle of the popliteal fossa. The analyzes were complemented through subsequent dissections, in order to obtain visualization of the results in different perspectives, and thus guarantee a better interpretation of the evaluated parameters. Results: in all dissections we demonstrated the feasibility of expanding the lateral access, using the topography of the popliteus muscle, its repair and posterior retraction allowed the creation of space necessary for the construction of the tibial tunnel in the quadrilateral area, in addition to functioning as an additional protection barrier the neurovascular structures. The preservation of the posterior joint capsule supports this hypothesis. No neurovascular lacerations were observed. Conclusion: the approach described presented reproducibility for reconstructions in combined lesions, allowing the performance of all stages of these procedures using a single access, in addition to combining all the advantages of a classic INLAY technique, obtaining an adequate area for positioning the tibial tunnel and adequate tensioning of the graft, thus minimizing failure and loosening rates. The study also establishes safety guidelines, minimizing the risks of iatrogenic injuries to the neurovascular structures of the popliteal fossa. in addition to combining all the advantages of a classic INLAY technique, obtaining an adequate area for the positioning of the tibial tunnel and adequate tensioning of the graft, thus minimizing the rates of failure and loosening.

Of all currently available exercise tests, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) represents the gold standard that provides the most accurate and objective measure of cardiorespiratory fitness. This is achieved through a comprehensive evaluation of the pulmonary, cardiovascular, hematopoetic, neuropsychological, skeletal muscular and cellular oxidative systems involved in the (patho)physiological response to exercise. Therefore, CPET is ideally suited to quantify exercise tolerance and evaluate the underlying mechanism(s) of exertional dyspnea and exercise limitation in many clinical conditions. CPET can be seen a complex test that requires specific knowledge of exercise physiology and gas exchange. The physiological principles required for understanding CPET are typically complex to teach, and comprehensive presentations may be initially considered too impractical. In this mini review we briefly describe the basics of exercise physiology and the key parameters that are vital for the understanding and interpretation of CPET.

Objective: To determine effects of wrist support use by female gymnasts based on self-reported wrist support use, wrist pain, and wrist injury to provide foundational data for designing subsequent prospective studies aimed at optimizing use of wrist support in gymnastics. Methods: A survey was distributed to current and former female gymnasts. Data collection was carried out using a commercially available electronic platform with de-identified data collected from participants. Descriptive statistics were calculated and comparisons for statistically significant (p<0.05) differences among variables of interest were determined. Results: In total, 343 female gymnasts (149 current and 194 former athletes) completed the questionnaire. Overall, 81.9% reported wrist injury/pain (mean number of 2.6 wrist injuries per injured athlete). Also, 61% of athletes reported using wrist support and 78.7% reported less pain with wrist support use; 39.3% reported needing to adjust the pre-designed wrist brace with additional tape/inserts to provide adequate support. In addition, 93% of former athletes experienced wrist pain/injury (mean number of 1.9 wrist injuries per injured athlete). A significantly higher proportion of former athletes used wrist support compared to current athletes (p=0.0017). Further, 91% of former gymnasts noted wrist injury and/or pain despite wrist support use, and 39.4% of athletes modified their supports in attempt to improve their symptoms. Conclusion: Results of the study support previous data denoting high incidence of wrist injuries and wrist pain in female gymnasts and suggest that wrist braces and/or taping was not associated with prevention of wrist injuries or pain but did mitigate existing wrist pain.

Conclusion: Results of the study support previous data denoting high incidence of wrist injuries and wrist pain in female gymnasts and suggest that wrist braces and/or taping was not associated with prevention of wrist injuries or pain but did mitigate existing wrist pain.","PeriodicalId":162912,"journal":{"name":"Sports Injuries & Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130050292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
