SKIN HYDRATION, INJURY PREVALENCE AND FREQUENCY: UNDERSTANDING THE INFLUENCE OF PHYSIOLOGIC, BEHAVIORAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS
… but external threats may make it susceptible to injury. Although increasing evidence describes the biomechanical properties of the skin, limited clinical studies explore the effects of factors on the skin’s outer surface and its susceptibility to injury. Factors associated with skin injury, such …

Incidence of traumatic brain injury, prevalence of dysphagia, and factors predicting health outcomes following traumatic brain injury in adults
South Africa has a high incidence of injury-related disorders, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a result of motor vehicle accidents and assault. Dysphagia is a common sequela of TBI, which may result in malnutrition or aspiration pneumonia. There is limited epidemiological data available for …

Methods for imbalanced data in sports analytics: improving injury prediction models
… Sports injuries are a central concern because an injury can permanently derail an athlete’s career. Yet even with extensive daily training records, injuries remain rare events, and many existing injury prediction models struggle to identify injury cases accurately. This research evaluates both …

Dance injury monitoring, strength and conditioning training for decreasing injury incidence for Chinese pre-professional dancers
The high prevalence of dance injuries affects elements of training, rehearsals, performance, and even the daily lives of those involved. Therefore, reducing and preventing dance injuries is an ultimate goal. Previous studies have evidenced that greater levels of physical fitness have been linked to …

Kinematic variations between successful and unsuccessful dynamic rock climbing movements
… determinants of climbing skill, and injury prevalence have been evaluated, but research examining climbing-specific movements has remained largely unexamined. The purpose of this study was to determine the angular kinematics and center of mass (COM) characteristics of the two-handed …

Injuries and adolescent ballet dancers: current evidence, epidemiology, and intervention
… literature that adolescent dancers have a high injury prevalence. Most injuries are reported as overuse onset and the most affected body region is the lower limb. Growth and maturation have been reported as non-modifiable whereas poor motor performance in power and strength as modifiable risk …

Exploring the associations of lower limb strength, injury and performance in academy football
… absence from training and match play due to injury can hinder the development of important football skills (i.e., tactical technical, physical and psychological) that are required to be successful at senior level. Evidence from senior cohorts has suggested that significant relationships exist …

Revisiting Gender: A Quantitative Study of Self-Injury in Young Adults
Non-suicidal self-injury is a prevalent and pressing public health concern, especially among young people. In recent decades, psychiatric research has greatly developed our understanding of the aetiology of self-injury and effective avenues for clinical intervention. However, the field has scarcely …

Modeling the Impact of Helicopter Vibrations on the Musculoskeletal Health of US Army Blackhawk Helicopter Pilots
… on aviators and the resulting musculoskeletal injury, but none have investigated the efficacy of the Mike model’s Active Vibration Control System (AVCS) on reducing the impact of helicopter vibrations on musculoskeletal health. Computational analyses of a biomechanical model using OpenSim and …

Maturation, playing position and genetic variation: injury risk factors in high-level youth soccer
The negative impact of injury on the development of youth soccer players (YSP) means that efforts must be made to prevent and control their occurrence. Although a range of risk factors have been investigated in YSP, they remain poorly understood due to limitations with previous studies (as …

Factors associated with injuries in road-runners at a local athletic club
… it can also predispose the runner to potential injury especially when runners follow an inappropriate training programme and have inadequate knowledge about factors causing injury. Therefore, baseline data about the prevalence, incidence of injury and the identification of the aetiological …
