Achilles tendinopathy is prevalent among Irish dancers, believed to be due to aesthetic technical requirements and high-impact landing tasks. However, the peak Achilles tendon force during Irish dancing-specific landing tasks has not been quantified. Furthermore, the influence of fatigue is unclear. This study aimed to quantify the peak Achilles te...

To examine the effectiveness of different exercise-based interventions to mitigate the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury in football players, and to determine which is the most appropriate for them, specifically for female football players. Four databases were accessed in July 2023 using the keywords football, soccer, athletic injuries, ant...
Severe knee injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, and their increase in women’s football have received more attention recently, and research has shown that women are more likely to suffer knee injuries when practicing their sport than men are. Several injury prevention programs have been developed to increase strength and neurom...
Dance research should consider time points within a season that may be associated with injury, and report on weekly dance training loads. The current study aimed to analyse injuries within each semester and participant, monitor load, mood and stress within one semester, and calculate compliance with monitoring in a tertiary dance training cohort. T...

Injury from a firearm is now the leading cause of death of children and youth under age 19 in the United States (U.S.) [1] and the incidence of these deaths continues to increase each year [2]. For every death from firearm violence, there are several young people who have been injured by a bullet but not killed. As pediatric surgeons, we are on the...
Background: Non-contact injuries are highly prevalent among young athletes and occur particularly in situations that require fast decision making and divided attention. Administering relevant neurocognitive tests could help identify deficiencies in these cognitive abilities and thus potentially mitigate injury risk. However, processes such as selec...
Reduced speeds and increased speed compliance are crucial for achieving increased road traffic safety, cutting across most Safe System interventions. Speed cameras have been shown to be effective in increasing speed compliance and reducing the number of fatalities and seriously injured. The speed cameras system in Sweden is different compared to ma...
Background: Floorball is one of the most popular team ball sports in Northern Europe, particularly among youths. The injury incidence is high, as is the case in other pivoting youth team ball sports, such as football. The injury prevention exercise programme (IPEP) Knee Control is developed to reduce injuries in team ball sports. Though, programme ...
La majorité des blessures en football interviennent sans contact avec un autre joueur, les lésions musculaires étant prépondérantes. La fatigue (et les perturbations neuromusculaires qu'elle induit) ainsi que la gestion de la charge d'entraînement ont été identifiées dans la littérature comme les principaux facteurs de risques de blessures, ces der...

Injuries, the leading cause of death in children 1-17 years old, are often preventable. Injury patterns are impacted by changes in the child's environment, shifts in supervision, and caregiver stressors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence and proportion of injuries, mechanisms, and severity seen in Pediatric Emergency Departm...
