The purpose of this study is to investigate relationship between movement dysfunctions and sports injuries according to gender of youth soccer player. Thirty-eight middle school soccer players participated in this study and they were divided into male (n= 19) and female (n= 19) groups. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and the Quadricepsangle (Q-angle) during single-leg squat were analyzed for identifying imbalance and asymmetry of the body, and sports injury questionnaire was examined for 6 months after FMS test. The number of sports injuries did not show significant difference between youth male and female soccer athletes. In FMS results, the scores of overhead squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight leg raise, and rotary stability and the total scores were no significant differences between gender, but the score for the trunk stability push-up was significantly higher in male group than female group. There was no significant difference of Q-angle values between the left and right legs, but Q-angle value between youth male and female groups significantly showed interaction. Therefore, the present data suggested that FMS and Q-angle during single-leg squat might be indicators to predict and/or prevent sports injury in youth male and female soccer players.
The purpose of this paper is to strength of lower extremity by the event characteristics of secondary school athletes. The subjects were 123 male elite athletes (7 sports) from Jeju middle school (7 schools, 65 students) and high school (11 schools, 58 students), and measured the subject s height, weight and Maximal Voluntary Contraction (MVC) and Rate of Force Development (RFD). As a result, first, there was a positive correlation between MVC and RFD. Second, there was a statistically significant difference in the strength levels of similar event sports at the MVC. Third, the anaerobic event showed statistically significant higher MVC than the aerobic event. Fourth, the higher the MVC than the average level, the more significant effect on the anaerobic event. At present, athletic performance is the most important indicator for predicting a athletes s performance. Understanding the characteristics of each event and applying appropriate training programs are essential elements for systematically nurturing student athletes and maximizing future development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
