“…Of these, 46% reported that they sometimes had impaired sports performance and 25% reported that ankle injuries had no negative impact on their performance. This finding is consistent with those of Rahimi et al [27], Sahebozamani et al [28] and Del Vecchio et al [29]. Given the widespread prevalence of injury in athletes, special strengthening and proprioceptive training programs should be considered for coaches and athletes to reduce the extent of such injuries.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the etiology of ankle injury and its prevalence among the Iranian professional karate players. Methods: Participants were 390 karate kumite players (Mean±SD of age=24.5±2.8 years; Mean±SD of weight=63.5±1.8 kg) attendant in the competitions for the national team selection. Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) questionnaire was used for assessing their information of ankle injury such as history, etiology, received treatments, and its effects on their daily living performance and sports activities. Descriptive statistics (Mean±SD) were used to describe the data, and Pearson correlation test was used to evaluate the relationship between daily living and sports scores obtained from FAAM and those self-reported scores at a significance level of P≤0.05. Results: Results was reported that 86% of subjects had a history of ankle injury, and most of them occurred during the competition. The most important reason for ankle injury was sudden rotation of the foot and kicking the opponent. In most cases, subjects had self-treatment and did not visit a physician. Correlation coefficients of daily living and sports scores obtained from FAAM with athletes' self-reported scores were 0.588 and 0.742 (P=0.000), respectively. Conclusion: Regarding the prevalence of ankle injury among karate players, it is recommended that specific proprioceptive and strengthening programs be put on the agenda for coaches and athletes to reduce the risk factors of injury. Due to the athletes' lack of follow-up for treatment and rehabilitation in most injuries, there is a possibility of re-injury to the ankle; therefore, the recovery process should be performed after injury under the supervision of a physician and returning to training should be done after proper interval.

“…The 46% injury rate that we found is also comparable with injury rates in other sports. Martial arts and combat sports had an injury rate of 54%, 8 whereas a systematic review of 17 articles on long-distance running showed this activity to have a wide range of lower extremity injury rates—20% to 79%. 25 …”

Background: Functional training, also known as CrossFit, is a unique sport that combines weightlifting, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning into a single program. There are an estimated 50 functional training centers in Malaysia. Purpose: To analyze the injury rates, patterns, and risk factors of functional training/CrossFit. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: Electronic questionnaires were distributed to 244 participants from 15 centers in the country. Descriptive data regarding the athletes, injury occurrence within the past 6 months, injury details, and risk factors were collected. Results: Of the 244 athletes, 112 (46%) developed at least 1 new injury over the previous 6 months. Injury rates were significantly higher in athletes from nonaffiliate training gyms compared with CrossFit-affiliated gyms, in athletes with previous injuries, and in those who perceived themselves as having more than average fitness. Conclusion: Coaches and athletes need to be more aware of risk factors for injury to enable safer and better training strategies.

The use of the newest pedagogical technologies (techniques) with the accentuated influence of the modern technical means of training during practical classes with the SPT and other forms of physical training with the cadets of the National Academy of National Guard of Ukraine during their professional development ensures that they acquire the necessary level of readiness to perform assigned tasks and is the priority of the scientific research. The article aims to formulate a model for forming future officers' readiness to perform assigned tasks using special physical training in higher military educational institutions and to analyze the results of the pedagogical experiment on its implementation. While conducting the pedagogical experiment, the modern technical means of training and functional complexes were used, which increases the level of special physical readiness among the representatives of the experimental group. Also, pedagogical conditions for forming future officers’ readiness to perform assigned tasks using special physical training at the Command faculty of the National Academy of the National Guard of Ukraine were experimentally verified. To improve the “shock” technique of HHC (the technique of applying physical activity measures) and the explosive force, we used the hardware-software system of the martial arts technique “Katsumoto” impact registration (HSS “Katsumoto”), video monitoring of technical handicap operations, Human Reactions Complex (AECS – LAB). Experimental work was implemented in two groups: the control group (CG, n=62) and the experimental group (EG, n=61). It is experimentally confirmed that the high qualification level of special physical readiness ensures the high-quality performance of assigned tasks.
