“…This is supported by previous research which found that dancers demonstrate greater JPS performance at lower (1.5–2.5 times) [ 51 ] and upper (up to 3 times) limbs [ 52 , 53 ] compared with untrained people. Also, athletes of other sports not associated with aesthetics and the control of body segments in space were shown to have 2.7 times better active JPS performance [ 54 ]. Furthermore, Pánics et al [ 24 ] showed that proprioceptive training resulted in up to 2.5 times greater JPS performance among handball players.…”

The aims of this study were (1) to assess the relationship between joint position (JPS) and force sense (FS) and muscle strength (MS) and (2) to evaluate the impact of long-term gymnastic training on particular proprioception aspects and their correlations. 17 elite adult gymnasts and 24 untrained, matched controls performed an active reproduction (AR) and passive reproduction (PR) task and a force reproduction (FR) task at the elbow joint. Intergroup differences and the relationship between JPS, FS, and MS were evaluated. While there was no difference in AR or PR between groups, absolute error in the control group was higher during the PR task (7.15 ± 2.72°) than during the AR task (3.1 ± 1.93°). Mean relative error in the control group was 61% higher in the elbow extensors than in the elbow flexors during 50% FR, while the gymnast group had similar results in both reciprocal muscles. There was no linear correlation between JPS and FS in either group; however, FR was negatively correlated with antagonist MS. In conclusion, this study found no evidence for a relationship between the accuracy of FS and JPS at the elbow joint. Long-term gymnastic training improves the JPS and FS of the elbow extensors.

“…In another study of wrist proprioception, an absolute error of 4.7° ± 0.3° was measured when participants were asked to actively reproduce the wrist configuration previously reached after a movement executed by a robotic device [ 46 ]. For the lower extremity, Venancio et al evaluated knee position sense by looking at the angular differences between an initial reference position and the position actively reproduced by healthy participants [ 47 ]. After three trials, a mean relative error of 5.8° ± 4.4° was obtained while targeting angular positions located between 40° and 60° of knee flexion.…”

BackgroundProprioceptive sense plays a significant role in the generation and correction of skilled movements and, consequently, in most activities of daily living. We developed a new proprioception assessment protocol that enables the quantification of elbow position sense without using the opposite arm, involving active movement of the evaluated limb or relying on working memory. The aims of this descriptive study were to validate this assessment protocol by quantifying the elbow position sense of healthy adults, before using it in individuals who sustained a stroke, and to investigate its test-retest reliability.MethodsElbow joint position sense was quantified using a robotic device and a virtual reality system. Two assessments were performed, by the same evaluator, with a one-week interval. While the participant’s arms and hands were occluded from vision, the exoskeleton passively moved the dominant arm from an initial to a target position. Then, a virtual arm representation was projected on a screen placed over the participant’s arm. This virtual representation and the real arm were not perfectly superimposed, however. Participants had to indicate verbally the relative position of their arm (more flexed or more extended; two-alternative forced choice paradigm) compared to the virtual representation. Each participant completed a total of 136 trials, distributed in three phases. The angular differences between the participant’s arm and the virtual representation ranged from 1° to 27° and changed pseudo-randomly across trials. No feedback about results was provided to the participants during the task. A discrimination threshold was statistically extracted from a sigmoid curve fit representing the relationship between the angular difference and the percentage of successful trials. Test-retest reliability was evaluated with 3 different complementary approaches, i.e. a Bland-Altman analysis, an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and a standard error of measurement (SEm).ResultsThirty participants (24.6 years old; 17 males, 25 right-handed) completed both assessments. The mean discrimination thresholds were 7.0 ± 2.4 (mean ± standard deviation) and 5.9 ± 2.1 degrees for the first and the second assessment session, respectively. This small difference between assessments was significant (− 1.1 ± 2.2 degrees), however. The assessment protocol was characterized by a fair to good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.47).ConclusionThis study demonstrated the potential of this assessment protocol to objectively quantify elbow position sense in healthy individuals. Futures studies will validate this protocol in older adults and in individuals who sustained a stroke.

“…Regarding game characteristics, observational instruments are explored to understand game patterns [14,26]. The high-intensity demands of the game combined with the mastery of skating and ball possession are described as potential injury risk [21,27,28].…”

“…The implications of groin pain were analyzed during Christiania stop (a sudden and intense change of direction and stopping) in professional rink-hockey players during a simulated test [27]. The influence of the knee joint position sense in rink-hockey players was studied, relevant information about the angular errors and benefits on proprioceptive accurate have been reported [28] (see Table 4). With no approach run, the ball speed may reach 90 ± 5.2 km/h (2nd league) and 102.0 km/h ± 4.6 (1st league).…”

“…Players with previous groin pain tend to activate adductors the most, therefore the pain perception may lead to an adjust of task to avoid fear, leading to dysfunction of tasks [27]. On the other hand, results from the study of knee joint position of rink hockey players, suggest that athletes have higher proprioception indicators than non-athletes which contribute to injury prevention and enhanced performance [28]. This biomechanical information may lead to specific training strategies (from conditioning-strength coaches and physiotherapists) to reduce pain, injury prevention, and improved physical performance [29].…”

The aim of this study was to review the evolutionary tendencies of research regarding to the study of male Rink-Hockey players´ and game performance. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Knowledge and Scopus databases according to PRISMA method. The initial search identified 815 titles, resulting in 19 articles being included within the review. Original papers (English language) contained relevant data regarding rink hockey players’ performance or morphological/physiological demands, anthropometry/body composition characteristics were eligible. Studies were classified into categories: (1) Physiological Demands, (2) Anthropometry and Body Composition, (3) Game Characterization/Patterns, (4) Injuries. Results indicated that Rink hockey requires high intensity effort which demands both short and long duration efforts requirements from players. Body composition analysis shows to be an important monitoring tool which complements the understanding of the athlete’s cardiac adaptation. Game patterns shows a combination of specific game momentums with different outcomes according to the game zone. The intense short-term movements, collision and contact between players, in addition to the weight and speed of the hard ball and the stick, can considerably increase the risk of moderate and severe injuries. Lack of literature in Rink-Hockey is remarkable, and research is mainly focused on children and adolescents’ players. Furthermore, the existing research with adult elite athletes was assessed with a small sample size.
