How very long-term (over many years) motor skill training shapes internal motor representation remains poorly understood. We provide valuable evidence that the football brain of Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (the Brasilian footballer) recruits very limited neural resources in the motor-cortical foot regions during foot movements. We scanned his brain activity with a 3-tesla functional magnetic ...

It is thought that time to peak torque and joint angle at parameters provide important data for the functional evaluation of quadriceps hamstring muscles. known studies with these are rare in literature. The aim this study investigate relationship between hamstring/quadriceps (H/Q) ratio, female football players. sample group consisted 20 footballers performing national women's league (3rd Divi...

Compartment syndromes may be acute or chronic. Acute syndromes may complicate fracture, soft tissue trauma, burns, and drug overdose. Very rarely is excessive exercise the underlying cause.` Sportsmen and women (particularly footballers) are perhaps more prone to this condition than the general population because of the high incidence of tibial fractures. Acute compartment syndromes are a poten...

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the association among the leptin levels and aerobic capacities of footballers, wrestlers and sedentary group. The study included a total of 130 volunteers (43 footballers, 41 wrestlers and 46 sedentary). The results showed a statistically significant difference between footballers and the sedentary group in terms of leptin levels both male and ...
