The current study aimed using a two-experiment musculoskeletal simulation-based approach, measuring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) biomechanics, knee joint kinematics, and lower extremity loading to examine the effects of both prophylactic sleeve on (1) sport-specific change direction movement in female footballers (2) single leg landing male footballers. Experiment 1 examined 12 university f...

Exercise and Sport Science (EXSS) is a common degree offered at Australian universities, yet there no systematic overview of this multidisciplinary field study. This study aimed to determine the broad curriculum content EXSS degrees by summarizing units offered, identify most commonly delivered areas, capture course information such as work-integrated learning (WIL) requirements majors offered....

Abstract Background Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a common overuse injury in running-related sports where patients experience pain and impaired function which can persist. A graded rehabilitation program has been successful reducing improving to enable return sport. The aim of this study compare the effectiveness criteria-based including strength reactive targets, with previously on changes usi...

CONTEXT Rowing is one of the original modern Olympic sports and was one of the most popular spectator sports in the United States. Its popularity has been increasing since the enactment of Title IX. The injury patterns in this sport are unique because of the stress applied during the rowing stroke. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION This review summarizes the existing literature describing the biomechanics...

In sport and exercise biomechanics, forward dynamics analyses or simulations have frequently been used in attempts to establish optimal techniques for performance of a wide range of motor activities. However, the accuracy and validity of these simulations is largely dependent on the complexity of the mathematical model used to represent the neuromusculoskeletal system. It could be argued that c...

No previous research in squash has considered the time between shots or the proximity of the ball to a wall, which are two important variables that influence shot outcomes. The aim of this paper was to analyse shot types to determine the extent to which they are played in different court areas and a more detailed analysis to determine whether the time available had an influence on the shot sele...

From 17.09.06 to 20.09.06, the Dagstuhl Seminar 06381 Computer Science in Sport was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and idea...

Surface Electromyography (EMG) is an important tool for medical diagnosis, rehabilitation and sports biomechanics. While it is usually used to perform recording of data under laboratory conditions, wearable sensors have enabled also mobile recording of dynamic movements. This has led to feedback applications which require real-time processing of the EMG data on mobile devices. This paper presen...

Groin pain in athletes is one of the most difficult to treat clinical entities in sports medicine. The reasons are the amount of differential diagnoses, complexity of pathophysiologic causes and the long time of limited participation in sport. In order to maximize efficient treatment, thorough diagnostics and a clear therapeutic regimen are crucial. To succeed with this issue, a close cooperati...
