“…The most common injury locations in the current study were the posterior thigh and lateral ankle, which is consistent with previous studies. 1,9 The characteristics of each track and field event are evident from the commonly reported injuries for that event. Long jump, triple jump, and pole vault involve maximum sprinting in the run-up and explosive power in a short duration of time at takeoff, suggesting that the hamstring is heavily loaded.…”

Background: Athletes participating in track and field jumping events (long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault) are exposed to ground-reaction forces on the takeoff leg that are several times their body weight. This can cause injuries specific to such activities. Purpose: To determine the incidence of injuries in collegiate jumpers using the guidelines set forth by a 2014 consensus statement on injury surveillance during track and field events. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: A total of 51 jumpers between April 2016 and March 2017 and 54 jumpers between April 2017 and March 2018 participated in this study. All athletes were from a single college in Japan. Baseline information on athletes participating in the long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault was collected at study enrollment. Practice and competition exposures were reported by the team trainer. Injury incidence was calculated as the number of injuries per 1000 athlete-exposures (AEs). Results: A total of 147 injuries were reported among 16,998 exposures (8.65 injuries per 1000 AEs). The most common injury locations were the posterior thigh and lateral ankle (17.0%), followed by the posterior foot or toe (12.9%); the most frequent type of injury was strain/muscle rupture/tear (21.1%). The most common injury for long jumpers was ankle sprain (23.3%); for high jumpers, flexor hallucis longus tendinosis (15.8%); and for pole vaulters, hamstring strain (13.2%). Conclusion: The overall characteristics are different for each event; therefore, injuries for each event need to be investigated.

“…In the event of acute infections, both officials and athletes can spread and be at risk of becoming infected. Yet the prevalence of injury and illness among officials is limited 5 . Information on the type of medical services needed and utilised, is essential for the contingent medical team planning especially in resources management of medical supplies, medications, and medical staff 5 .…”

Introduction: Malaysia has participated in many international multi-sport events, but there is limited data on the injury and illness prevalence of the Malaysian contingent.Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern of injuries and illnesses among the athletes and officials in the Malaysian contingent during the KL SEA Games 2017.Materials and methods: The medical records of the Malaysian contingent who received medical attention from the Malaysian medical team contingent during the centralised camp and the Games, were retrieved. The Malaysian medical team used a standardised injury and illness reporting form to record clinical and socio-demographic information of the athletes and officials in the Malaysian contingent.Results and Discussion: The total number of medical consultations received were 509 and 85.4% were with athletes. Two-hundred two injuries and 238 illnesses were diagnosed among the athletes. The most common injury among the athletes was muscle tears and strains, followed by ligamentous injuries, tendon injuries, bruises, and contusions. Majority of the injuries were mild and occurred during training. Recurrent injuries and increase in athlete’s age were significant predictors of injury severity. Comparable to earlier reports, the most common illness among athletes, was the respiratory system, followed by gastroenterology and dermatology. A total of 11 injuries and 58 illnesses were reported among the Malaysian contingent officials. Compared to athletes, the injury rate among the officials was much lower. The illness rate among the officials was half of the athletes’ illness rate, even though there was a higher prevalence of underlying chronic diseases among the officials.Conclusion: The rate of injuries and illness among Malaysian athletes in the KL Sea Games 2017 was comparable to previous reports. However, the rate of injuries and illness of the officials in the Malaysian contingent was lower compared to athletes.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 03 July’21 Page: 347-354

“…Chiropractors are frequently classified as CAM service providers and claim a role as service providers in elite level athletic health and performance [ 9 , 10 ]. Generally speaking, their inclusion is attributed to the needs expressed by athletes or other influential individuals, rather than a clear appreciation of the full spectrum of the chiropractor’s clinical skillset.…”

The professional contribution of chiropractors to Danish elite football clubs: a qualitative exploration of role and perceived value in an interprofessional service provision context

Background Interprofessional team-based care has been widely adopted in elite level athletic health and performance practice. Chiropractors can claim some penetration as health care service providers in high level sport. However, their position as valued members of interprofessional health care teams, especially those built around traditional medical organisational structures, is unclear. This investigation sought to explore the perceived role and value of chiropractors as service providers in elite Danish football clubs. Methods A comparative qualitative case study was conducted. Six Danish premiere league (Superliga) clubs were purposively sampled to compare and contrast instances where chiropractors were both present and absent from the health care team. Triangulated responses were solicited from healthcare coordinators, chiropractors and athletes within each club’s organization through semi-structured individual interviews. The audio-recorded responses were transcribed verbatim and thematically analyzed using a framework approach. Results Data were collected September and November 2019. A coding framework of 14 codes and 4 code families emerged, centering around the role of chiropractors, benefits of utilizing chiropractic care and facilitators and barriers to interprofessional practice. From this framework, three themes were abstracted, these being: “Broadening horizons”, “In-house preferred to take-away” and “Already covered, or even necessary?” Conclusion In this practice context, chiropractors fill the role of musculoskeletal health care service providers. Their perceived value stems from additional expert disciplinary knowledge, improved diagnostic triage and increased treatment flexibility. However, where not utilized, the role of a spinal health expert is questioned and when acknowledged, is limited to that of a technician/therapist. It is unclear from this investigation whether chiropractors can claim core provider status. Further exploration of this interesting context of interprofessional practice is warranted.
