The association between running kinematics and common overuse injuries in runners : implications for injury and rehabilitation
Background: Running related injuries are influenced by a complex interaction between multiple factors. Running kinematic patterns represent one such factor which will influence the load applied to musculoskeletal structures during each foot contact of a run. When combined with an increase in …

Internal and external load measures as predictors of overuse injury risk in professional football players
… being underprepared and may increase the risk of overuse injuries. Determining an optimal training load that improves performance and decreases the risk of overuse injuries is important. Therefore, monitoring and understanding individual responses to training loads are necessary. To date there is …

The Effects That Sport Specialization has on Youth Athletes
… it is also correlated with higher chances of overuse injuries, psychological stress, and burnout. The purpose of this study is to review the literature and investigate the effects of sport specialization on youth athletes. It was determined that specializing in a sport can allow an athlete to …

Identifying the Impact of Injury Definition and Training Load on the Study of Jumper’s Knee
With a growing body of research into volleyball injuries we are beginning to understand potential risk factors for the most prevalent injuries. Volleyball has been found to have more overuse than acute injuries, yet the majority of research to date has failed to utilize an injury definition …

VERT-Derived Jump Volume and Intensity Related to Functional Movement Quality in Female Collegiate Volleyball Players
… volleyball and associated with the prevalence of overuse injuries in the sport. The chronic accumulation of training stress over the course of a sports season leads to fatigue, increased injury risk, along with decreased neuromuscular function, motor control, and joint mobility. This study aims to …

The Effect of Message Framing on Parents of Youth Athletes Attitudes Toward Messages Promoting Healthy Athletic Training Recommendations
… each year (Merkel, 2013). Over half of these injuries incurred in youth sport are deemed overuse injuries (Valovich McLeod et al., 2011), which are a leading cause in the high attrition rate seen in youth athletics today (Persson et al., 2020; Mangan, 2018). In order to decrease the prevalence …

The impact of training load on injury and illness in a 12-week training period for an iron-distance triathlon
… Current research has predominantly investigated injuries and illness in professional or Olympic distance (OD) triathletes. Iron-distance triathlon is a popular form of triathlon, evidenced by the recent growth in participation in the sport from recreational to elite levels. However, there is …

Incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in professional dancers
… training which increases the risk of developing overuse or traumatic injuries and may compromise the longevity of dancers' careers. Relevant research, particularly in the South African context, is needed to provide recommendations on the intrinsic and extrinsic factors contributing to …

Construction and assessment of a computer graphics-based model for wheelchair propulsion
Upper limb overuse injuries are common in manual wheelchair using persons with spinal cord injury (SCI), especially those with tetraplegia. Biomechanical analyses involving kinetics, kinematics, and muscle mechanics provide an opportunity to identify modifiable risk factors associated with …

Conservative intervention through changing shoe type to reduce injury risk factors in walking and running.
Running and walking are associated with various injuries. Because the injury mechanisms for these injuries are mechanical in nature, a logical way to conservatively reduce injury risk is by wearing shoes that alter the individual's mechanics. This study is aimed at characterizing the effects that …

A Prospective Design Identifying Etiological Risk Factors Associated with MTSS and Stress Fractures in Female Intercollegiate Athletes.
… identification of risk factors associated with overuse injuries, specifically Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) and Tibial Stress Fractures (TSF), may help professionals with management and prevention of these injuries. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors associated with …

The effects of motor task complexity on sensorimotor integration: implications for healthy and subclinical populations
… the organizational changes seen in people with overuse injuries and chronic pain. These maladaptive changes are associated with debilitating symptoms which include the deterioration of learning and retention of skills. The prevalence of repetitive strain and overuse injuries is steadily …

3D movement and muscle activity patterns in a violin bowing task
Objective: Overuse injuries in violinists are a problem that has been primarily analyzed through the use of questionnaires. Simultaneous 3D motion analysis and EMG to measure muscle activity has been suggested as a quantitative technique to explore this problem by identifying movement patterns and …

Adiposity and Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury: Relationships With Activities of Daily Living, Secondary Complications, and Subjective Well-Being
… be overweight reported greater pain, depression, overuse injuries, and fatigue, and less satisfaction with life than individuals who did not consider themselves to be overweight. In summary, the findings suggest that a) participation in specific types of ADL (i.e. Mobility ADL) are associated with …

The dynamics of running and the possibilities of damping
… in running has been the growing incidence of overuse injuries (the result of repetitive microtrauma to the tendons, bones and joints). The increase in the number of people who run in order to improve their physical fitness has been accompanied by an increase in the prevalence of …

The Incidence of Stress Fractures Among All Female Division I Athletes at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
Stress fractures are common overuse injuries that have plagued athletes for many years. Often referred to as fatigue fractures, they are formed when the skeletal muscles fatigue and can no longer absorb the shock of repetitive pounding activities such as running. Stress fractures are most common in …
