A proper understanding of the biomechanics of injury to the spine serves as an illustration of concepts relating to injury generally, and should have special relevance to work in general practice. Sport is stressful, and stress produces injury. The significantly increasing proportion of the population taking part in physical recreation leads obviously to an increase in the number of injuries. I...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Events such as the Paralympic Games leave a series of legacies in host societies. This is also applicable to development associated scientific knowledge, particularly field sports biomechanics. Objective: The objective this study investigate Brazilian production biomechanics during cycle that preceded and followed Rio 2016 Games. Additionally, aims provide insights for fu...

Crouch start technique is the most important factor in Sprint starting. For achieving the best starting moves fitting biomechanical characteristics of the human body, it is necessary to take comparative analysis on crouch start in biomechanics in order to obtain the fastest initial velocity through quick and timely departure from the quiescent state. In this paper carries on the sport biomechan...

S cience and medical researchers and practitioners working in the field of sports injury prevention tend to have very tangible objectives and focus on identifying and solving specific injury risks. There is an uncertainty, however, that ‘‘solving’’ one problem may not simply create another. As the field matures, it is worth considering whether theories and models can be developed that have more...

Brain oscillations are, perhaps paradoxically, crucial for movement stability and high performance. Much of what is known about brain oscillations and their relation to movement, sensation and cognition has been established during the last three decades through an explosion of research ranging from in vitro (Draguhn et al., 1998; Fisahn et al., 1998) to in vivo (Cheron et al., 2015) and computi...

BACKGROUND Mixed martial arts have rapidly succeeded boxing as the world's most popular full contact sport, and the incidence of injury is recognised to be high. OBJECTIVE To assess qualitatively and quantitatively the potential risk for participants to sustain cervical spine and associated soft tissue injuries. METHODS Four commonly performed manoeuvres with possible risks to the cervical ...
