Introduction: Soccer is the most popular sport in the entire world. Soccer continues to emerge as a major sport in countries like United States and even China, while it remains the fastest growing team sport. The sport’s characteristics and its required functional activities demand certain technical skills and healthy physique from each player. As a result, there are disadvantages of playing the sport as injuries and medical problems occur. Soccer injuries are a big factor of the sport, that is really important to address. This report describes the most common types of injuries(Ankle sprains, Hamstring, Knee), causes of injuries, effects of injuries and prevention/treatment of injuries for soccer.
Most common types of injuries: First, there are three most common types of soccer injuries, which are ankle sprains, hamstring and muscle cramps. Ankle sprains are the most common injuries that occur in the sport. This injury occurs when the foot suddenly twists or rolls, which then forces the ankle joint to be out of its normal position. As a result, the ligaments around the ankle stretch or tear. The number of ligaments torn or disrupted determines the degree of the injury. The more ligaments affected, the worse the injury is. Syndesmosis, also known as “high ankle” injuries, usually occur as the player is pushed backwardly on another player’s planted foot. This type of injury usually needs 2-4 weeks of recovery. In addition, when the “deltoid” ligament is affected in the
High incident rates of HS is well understood in the current body of research, two establishing that HS represent 12 % of all injuries in football (8, 5). The incidence rate identified by previous researchers has been estimated to be 3-4.1 hamstring strains per 1000h of match
Syndesmotic injuries can also result from severe eversion or inversion ankle sprains. Excessive eversion at the Subtalar joint can tear the deltoid ligament, force the talus to push the fibula laterally, and eventually damage the tibiofibular ligaments. Severe inversion injuries damage the lateral ankle ligaments and can also disrupt the ankle mortise and fibular stability, the tibia and fibula usually separate and spontaneously reduce. In the eversion and inversion mechanisms, the lateral malleolus, distal fibula, or medial malleolus usually fractures before the syndesmosis ligaments rupture
Individuals who have experienced ankle sprains account for a high percentage of clinician referrals and emergency room visits annually. Specifically, lateral ankle sprains, are one of the most common injuries athletes and individuals who are recreationally active sustain. According to Hale, Fergus, Axmacher, and Kiser (2014), “researchers have estimated that approximately 25,000 ankle sprains occur each
By football being a full contact sport, and players always tacking each other it makes it hard on the body (Henderson 1). Bones lose density and strength. (Hobson 1) Ligaments and tendons tend to stiffen, lose circulation, and become more vulnerable. (3) Cartilage becomes stressed and susceptible to tearing.(4).It is every player’s dream is trying to make it to the next level and being the best at what they do. As players work hard to sharpen their game, their body is put through a series of injuries including tears, breaks, and sprains.
Football is one of the most popular sports played today, but, many injuries can occur while
This study evaluated 90 total ACL injuries from soccer players ranging from a mean age of 19.4 ± 2.3 years.1 The reported mean age at injury was 17.4 ± 1.9 years, with the highest injury rate at 18 years of age.1 Of the total 90 injuries, 48 were the dominant leg, 62 occurred on artificial turf, 57 occurred in players wearing round spikes, 41 occurred in defenders, 54 occurred during defense, 56 occurred during a game, and 55 were non-contact injuries.1 Furthermore, of the 55 non-contact injuries, 29 occurred during a cutting maneuver and 22 occurred during pressing.1 Assessing the results, it was discovered that non-contact injuries during pressing were significantly more common than contact injuries during pressing.1
Soccer. It’s a physical sport with plenty of completion, and with that comes injuries. Good morning class, today I will be talking to you about the soccer of sport, and the commonly occurring within the game, as well as talking specifically about sprained ankles and meniscus tears, and the rehabilitation processes for the two. The most common injuries within the sport of soccer are: Ankle sprains, groin pulls, hamstring strains, shin splints, and knee injuries.
Tackling can be very dangerous in soccer especially because soccer players have only shin guards to protect them. When soccer players hit the ground or another player with no protection (except shin guards) the chances of getting injured are high. One reason why players get injured because of tackling is when there is mismatched skill and the better soccer player is getting cut down by the worse player. Another reason why soccer players get injured because of tackling is when unskilled and inexperienced players try to tackle. The three most common places where people get injured is in the ankle, knee, and
Is it worth the risk of injury to play football at any level? When this question is asked to athletes or people that have never played the sport, they might tell you no. When asked to the athletes who have played the sport of American Football, then the chances of you getting a yes are much higher. With the correct equipment and the correct forms, there is a lower chance of receiving a long-term injury then there would be any other way.
If you have ever watched sports then you probably have seen someone gets injured. Imagine this a 13-year-old boy is skiing at Nordic Mountain a popular place for snow skiing and snowboarding in winter. He gets launched about 10 feet into the air spinning backward struggling to find his balance. Crashing into the snow head smacking the ground flowing the rest of his body. This was a real scare for the 3 others who witnessed the crash. Hearing this story most would think he was badly hurt, but the boy has escaped the injury because of the gear he was wearing.
Soccer is one of the most common sports that causes injuries without making contact with another player. According to the Federation Internationale de Futbol Association (FIFA), Soccer is the World’s most popular organized sport with over 200 million males and 21 million females registered in the FIFA (Giza). Soccer has become more popular in females in the last decade and is a great recreational sport to be apart of. In Montana, girls that play soccer are prepared for all weather mentally but not necessarily physically. Many girls every year are sat on the bench from injuries. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are the most common injury a young girl can get. Soccer is a game played on a turf or grass field. The ground could change within minutes if it started raining or snowing. This causes it to become slippery making it more of a change for an athlete to injure themselves. When a soccer player kicks the soccer ball they put all body weight on one leg to swing their other leg to kick the ball. The continuous stopping, going and turing is a factor that causes most ACL injuries. Soccer is just one of many sports that injuries can occur in and is more likely to happen without contact with another person on the field.
After classifying weather the injury was direct, indirect or overused, it must then be classified into:
The main research of this paper is Sports injuries. Sport injuries are very common in the modern world and it has severe effects in the life of athletes. Injuries related to sport can lead to loss of life, body parts or career depending on the severity of the accident. Sport injuries have several negative impacts on the physical, mental, social ability of athletes. To accomplish the paper appropriately some real-life examples have been included in this research, for illustration. For better understanding of the rise of the sports related injuries, a graph has been mentioned that shows the difference between the numbers of sports injuries recently compared to 2004. Finally the research paper has been concluded by proving that
There are twenty-three different sports injuries. the first one on the list would be an achilles tendon injury. The achilles is the biggest tendon in your body, it is very common for this tendon to get injured. The tendon gets injured in the following sports such as basketball, baseball, softball, football, soccer, tennis, volleyball, running, dancing, and gymnastics.
Injuries play a big role in an athlete's career and his or her overall health, although minor injuries are often nothing to worry about they can lead to something serious especially if the injury is repeatedly being aggravated. scrapes, cuts, bruises, and broken bones are all things to worry about. When a player is injured he or she is losing play time and money and why risk this when there is small but giant steps that can be taken to prevent injuries. But brain injuries are something much more serious even if the player says not to worry because something worse than losing playtime is losing your life. Albert C. hergenroeder has written an article on preventing sports injuries, he says that there are 3 million sports injuries among kids around
