Background
While several studies on mental health of elite athletes were published in recent years, few compared the prevalence with the general population and none included field hockey players.
Aims
To analyze the prevalence of symptoms of depression and generalized anxiety disorder in field hockey players of different skill levels and to compar...
Fixture congestion increases injury risk in football, but how it impacts other sports is unclear. The aim of this study was to identify associations between match density and injury incidence in field hockey players. Injury data from a prospective cohort study of professional and youth players was analysed in two ways. Inter-match intervals were cl...
Background
Identifying factors that contribute to the occurrence of injury is an important step in designing training programs to minimize the risk of injury. However, despite high injury rates, variables contributing to injury in field hockey players remain relatively unexplored.
Purpose
To identify factors that may predict injury in professional...
Various studies suggest the importance of sport-specific cognitive and perceptual abilities in soccer. However, the role of general perceptual-cognitive abilities and the relation of age respective to position have not been clarified for soccer in detail. Therefore, it was the objective of the present study to determine the relation of age and posi...
Objectives
To determine the incidence and characteristics of hockey (‘field hockey’) injuries over the course of one outdoor and indoor season. Comparisons of female versus male players, outdoor versus indoor season and match versus practice were performed.
Methods
Female and male teams of the first, second, third, regional and youth divisions wer...
Objective:
To assess the effectiveness of osteopathic intervention (OI) and general osteopathic treatment (GOT) in individuals with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).
Methods:
The trial was designed as a randomized controlled trial with 2 osteopathic interventions and 1 untreated control group. The patients in the two osteopathic groups received 10 os...
Current approaches regarding injury prevention focus on the transfer of evidence into daily practice. One promising approach is to influence attitudes and beliefs of players. The objective of this study was to record player’s perceptions on injury prevention. A survey was performed among players of one German high-level football (soccer) club. 139...
Despite various research approaches, there is still conflicting evidence as to the worthiness of injury prediction tools in football. This study was aiming at investigating correlations between injuries of amateur male football players and the results of a Functional Movement Screen FMS). Using an observational design, ten amateur teams of the fift...
Der FMS, eine sportmotorische Testbatterie zur Überprüfung von Beinachsenstabilität, Beweglichkeit und Rumpfstabilität, wurde im amerikanischen College Football als
hilfreiches Instrument in der Verletzungsprognostik qualifiziert (91% Spezifität für Cut-Off Score <15Pkt.). Das Testinstrument war reliabel (Gesamtscore ICC=0,92) und Übertragungen auf...
Positionsspezifische Orientierungsdaten liegen bislang nur für Ausdauerkennziffern vor (Di Salvo, 2007), obwohl seit einigen Jahren auf unterschiedliche Positionsanforderungsprofile auch für Schnelligkeits- und Kraftkennwerte hingewiesen wird (Gil et al., 2007).
The aim of this study was to assess if the frequency of injuries can be reduced or even eliminated by employing a specific injury prevention and reduction training program. In a
previously conducted pilot study with a group of professional soccer players we were able to determine that employment of an injury prevention training program resulted in...
Verschiedene Arbeitsgruppen wie, das „FIFA Medical Assessment and Re-search Center“
sowie das „Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center“ , haben sich mit Häufigkeiten und Ursachen von Verletzungen im Fußball beschäftigt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die häufigsten Verletzungen im Fußball an den unteren Extremitäten auftreten. Dies ist mit hohen Kosten für...
Experten gehen davon aus, dass im deutschen Profifußball seit den neunziger Jahren ein deutlicher Anstieg des Leistungsniveaus stattgefunden hat. So finden sich Werte für die Ausdauerleistungsfähigkeit der deutschen Nationalmannschaft von damals heute bereits schon in der Regionalliga. Dagegen wird das Niveau in der Sprintleistung erst in der 1. Bu...
