“…Among all the competitive sports in the world today, soccer is the most popular and influential team sport, and it has been given the title of the world's number one sport because of its unique charm, unlike other sports, thus being highly respected by most sports fans [1][2][3][4][5]. With the rapid development of soccer in colleges and universities, more and more students are attracted to participate in men's soccer in colleges and universities, but due to the bias of many colleges and universities in understanding specific tactics of soccer, it is impossible to use the tactics in soccer reasonably [6][7][8][9].…”

This paper aims to investigate the technical and tactical evolution characteristics of college men’s soccer, and improve and optimize the simulated annealing algorithm by analyzing its operation process, so as to improve its operational efficiency and accuracy of results. The optimized model is used to analyze the data of the last 5 matches of men’s college soccer teams and study the offensive, defensive, and shooting characteristics of men’s college soccer teams. The results show that in terms of offensive techniques, the number of passes made by men’s college soccer teams is not small, among which 2589 passes were made in the 13th match, 1108 passes in the 14th match, and 938 passes in the 15th match, but the success rate is very low, and all of them are ineffective passes, which are not purposeful and offensive enough. The study in this paper summarizes the evolution characteristics of the technical tactics of college men’s soccer and improves the guidance for the improvement and development of college men’s soccer technical tactics.

“…TBI has serious repercussions regardless of the injury source, whether in military or civilian contexts. For example, traumatic injuries are the highest fatality caused in industrialized countries for ages under 45 [ 2 ]. However, in vivo optimal impact mitigation mechanisms are under-investigated because of the obvious ethical concerns.…”

Additive Manufacturing and Mechanical Characterization of PLA-Based Skull Surrogates

Several occupational and leisure activities involve a high risk of head impacts, resulting in varying degrees of injuries with chronic consequences that adversely affect life quality. The design and manufacturing of effective head protections rely on proper head simulators to mimic the behavior to impact loading. 3D-printed human skulls are reported herein to address the need for reproducible, cost-effective, anatomically-correct surrogates. To demonstrate the viability of the investigated approach, surrogate bone sections and skulls were mechanically tested under quasi-static loading conditions. The 3D-printed bone sections were flexural tested, elucidating the effect of printing orientations and the sample geometry on their mechanical behavior. The printing orientation minimally influenced the results due to the high infill percentage, while the sample geometry played a major role in the flexural properties because of the change in the section properties. The surrogate skulls were submitted to lateral compression and frontal penetration tests to assess the impact of the sectioning strategy on the overall mechanical performance. Results indicate that PLA-based surrogates reasonably reproduce the behavior of skulls. In addition, the sectioning strategy elucidated the effect of skull sutures, while streamlining the additive manufacturing process. The outcomes lay the foundation for future research seeking a complete surrogate head.

“…[1][2][3] Sport leagues and organizations are finding themselves under increased pressure to introduce concussion awareness and prevention strategies to ensure the safety of their constituents, but also to maintain participatory and/or fan interest. 4,5 In Canada, the sport of ice hockey (note: to be referred to as hockey from this point forward.) has been particularly vulnerable to critique.…”

Head injuries in elite and youth sport have garnered growing public attention in part because of high-profile cases of professional athletes suffering career-ending/threatening concussions and because of the increase in medical studies identifying how repeated concussive events can lead to long-term health problems, most notably degenerative brain disease. Public concerns around youth ice hockey are intensifying in light of recent evidence which suggests that effects of head injury are worse for youth than they are for athletes in later stages of life. To better understand concussion injury rate trends across all levels of youth hockey, this paper provides a retrospective analysis of concussion related hockey injury as recorded in Hockey Canada’s Injury Reporting System from the period covering 2009 to 2016, combined with two years of observational research documenting head contact events in minor hockey in the Ottawa and Gatineau regions of Ontario and Quebec. By comparing two different data sets through different methodological designs, it provides important insight into the levels of head contact in youth hockey, how head contact is occurring, and offers commentary about the levels of risk players are exposed to in minor hockey in Canada.
