Food intake sequence affects postprandial metabolic, hormonal, and appetite responses in healthy male football players: A randomised crossover trial.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Food intake sequence can influence postprandial glycaemia and appetite in non-athletic populations. However, it remains unclear whether these effects extend to athletes, who often consume high-carbohydrate diets and exhibit distinct metabolic responses. This study aimed to compare postprandial metabolic and appetite responses to two food intake sequences in athletes. METHODS: In a randomised, counterbalanced, outcome assessor-blinded crossover trial, 14 highly trained male football players [22.9 (3.1) y, 23.4 (1.7) kg.m-2, 5.3 (0.4)% HbA1c] consumed a standardised breakfast

Does exercise intensity affect wellness scores in a dose-like fashion?

Wellness questionnaires are common in monitoring systems, yet the sensitivity to variations in acute training intensity is unclear. This study examined the controlled dosage effects of differing exercise intensities on wellness variables and subsequent associations with neuromuscular performance. Participants (n = 10) completed low-, moderate- and high-intensity conditions of a 90 min simulated football match shuttle running protocol scaled relative to beep test scores. The protocols were completed in a randomised and counterbalanced fashion matched for time of day. Wellness (sleep quality, re

Muscle lesions and inflammation in futsal players according to their tactical positions.

A futsal player's performance depends on his technical and tactical skills but may be improved by a less harmful inflammatory profile that is better adjusted to his tactical position in the game. Thus, the purpose of this study was to characterize muscle lesion and inflammation in futsal players according to their positions in an official match. The participants in this study were 5 goalkeepers (23 ± 1.2 years old, body mass = 74 ± 2.5 kg, height = 178 ± 3.2 cm, body fat = 13 ± 2%, VO2max = 40 ± 2 ml·kg(-1)), 8 defenders (21 ± 1 years, body mass = 69 ± 2 kg, height = 174 ± 1 cm, body fat = 10

Standard RTS criteria effectiveness verification using FMS, Y-balance and TJA in footballers following ACL reconstruction and mild lower limb injuries.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured knee ligament. In previous studies, it was demonstrated that patients following ACL reconstruction may present motor deficits which may be related to increased risk of injury. The objective of the study was to determine whether players who have passed RTS assessment still have deficits in movement patterns or in neuromuscular control after such a serious injury as ACL rupture and reconstruction,. Sixty-five male football players (age 18-25 years), recruited from regional teams, were divided into three groups: (1) ACL group-sub

Total sleep time in Muslim football players is reduced during Ramadan: a pilot study on the standardized assessment of subjective sleep-wake patterns in athletes.

Ramadan is a period in which Muslims fast during daylight hours and is associated with disturbances in sleep-wake behaviour and adverse effects on physical and mental health in normal volunteers. Studies using athletes are rare and remain equivocal as to whether Ramadan influences sleep-wake patterns. Notably, the standardized assessment of subjective sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in athletes has not been established. This study employed the Arabic version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Insomnia Severity Index, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale in nine football players aged 20-35 yea

No increased occurrence of osteoarthritis after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction after isolated anterior cruciate ligament injury in athletes.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term radiographic and clinical results of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by comparing the injured knee with the contralateral knee in athletes with isolated ACL tear returning to preinjury sports. METHODS: Twenty-eight patients with isolated ACL tears without concomitant injuries at baseline returning to previous sports were selected. ACL reconstruction was performed with patella or hamstring tendon graft. Conventional radiographs and a 3-T magnetic resonance imaging study of both knees were obtained at a mean follow-up of 10 years after ACL reco

Popliteal artery laceration during arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

We report a case of acute laceration of the popliteal artery during an arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This injury can occur during the creation of the posteromedial portal, the manipulation of the tissues in the posterior part of the capsule of the knee joint, or when drilling the tibial hole. We recommend that a qualified vascular surgeon should be immediately available at the time of the surgery. In case of suspecting the occurrence of a popliteal artery injury, the vascular surgeon should be immediately consulted and arteriography and vascular repair should be perf

Bucket Handle, Inside-Out Medial Meniscal Repair: A Technique Video.

BACKGROUND: Bucket-handle medial meniscal tears represent a common subset of meniscal injuries, particularly among younger athletes. In cases requiring operative intervention, the inside-out technique for medial meniscal repair remains the gold standard. INDICATIONS: We present a technique video for the repair of a bucket-handle medial meniscal tear in a young athlete who sustained a meniscal injury while playing soccer, resulting in mechanical symptoms. The tear was noted to remain within the peripheral vascular zone of the meniscus, making him a favorable candidate for operative repair. TE…

Distal Medial Collateral Ligament Repair With Suture Augmentation.

A jumping sport (basketball, volleyball) was played by 17 athletes, while a running sport (soccer, judo, rugby, tennis, ski) was performed by 27 athletes. The mean time from injury to surgery was 17.8 ± 14.5 days. At 90 days from surgery, the overall mean LSI for CMJ was 85.3% ± 8.9%, for SLH was 92.2% ± 6.4%, and for TH was 90.8% ± 6.1%. When A …

Generalised joint hypermobility and excess knee hyperextension are associated with an increased risk for second ACL injury, but not primary ACL injury, in female football players: A 5-year follow-up.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the association between generalised joint hypermobility, knee hyperextension, knee laxity, and static standing alignment with the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in a cohort of female football players with an ACL-reconstructed (ACLR) knee and in knee-healthy controls. METHODS: We prospectively followed 117 female football players with ACLR (age, mean ± standard deviation, 20 ± 2 years; average 19 ± 9 months after ACLR) and 119 knee-healthy players (age, 19 ± 3 years) for 5 years. At baseline, all players were assessed for generalised jo

Test-retest reliability of ankle injury risk factors.

Ligamentous instability, ankle muscle weakness, foot-ankle alignment, and generalized joint laxity may be predisposing factors for ankle ligament injuries. The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of these risk factors before and after the season in healthy individuals and to determine if any significant differences developed during the athletic season (range, 12 to 16 weeks). Twenty-one healthy college-aged athletes were tested for generalized joint laxity, anatomic alignment of the foot and ankle, ligamentous stability, and isokinetic strength of the ankle muscles. This study

Blunt maxillary fracture and cheek bite: two rare causes of traumatic pneumomediastinum.

Subcutaneous facial emphysema is a well-known consequence of oral and maxillofacial traumatic injury. In some rare cases, the subcutaneous air collection could spread through the retropharyngeal and paralatero-cervical spaces, reaching the mediastinum. This clinical entity is known as pneumomediastinum and represents a severe and, sometimes, life-threatening condition. Other reported causes of pneumomediastinum are esophageal and tracheal traumatic or iatrogenic rupture. Finally, the so-called spontaneous pneumomediastinum is caused by a sudden increase in alveolar pressure and is usually seen

Adding insult to injury: workplace injury in English professional football.

Sociologists studying the topic of workplace injury have neglected professional athletes despite the fact that, for such employees, remaining 'active' at work is of paramount importance. This study involved semi-structured interviews with 47 current and former male professional footballers who all had careers in the English professional football leagues. The interviews focused on the players' experiences of injury and rehabilitation and their relationships with club managers, physiotherapists and doctors. The object of this empirical article concerns an examination of how professional football
