Incidence and Risk Factors of Upper Extremity Injuries in Young Adult Men : A Nationwide Registry-Based Study of 128,714 Conscripts
2020
Introduction Injuries are the major cause of morbidity and loss of active training days in military populations. Previous investigations have mainly focused on lower extremities. This study evaluated the incidence, diagnosis, and risk factors of upper extremity injuries requiring hospitalization in a large cohort of Finnish conscripts during a 5-year period. Materials and Methods A total of 128,714 male military conscripts, who served 6–12 months in compulsory military service, were studied. Injury hospitalization data were obtained from the National Hospital Discharge Register. The main outcome variables were hospitalization due to any injuries to the upper extremity and hospitalization du…
Akuuttien polvivammojen esiintyvyys 10-14-vuotiailla jalkapalloilijoilla
2017
Elina Myllymäki (2017). Akuuttien polvivammojen esiintyvyys 10-14-vuotiailla jalkapalloilijoilla. Terveystieteiden laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto (fysioterapia), pro gradu-tutkielma, 40 s, 1 liite. Jalkapallon harrastajamäärä on jatkanut kasvuaan Suomessa ja maailmalla. Polvivammojen esiintyvyyden tunnetaan olevan vanhemmilla jalkapallon pelaajilla yleistä. Tiedetään myös, että nuorena saatu vakava polvivamma lisää nivelrikon riskiä sekä voi heikentää elämänlaatua ja liikunta-aktiivisuutta aikuisiällä. Kuitenkin lasten jalkapallovammoista tiedetään hyvin vähän. Etenkin alle 13-vuotiaiden polvivammojen esiintyvyydestä on rajallisesti tutkimuksia, vaikka juuri puberteetin aikana riski loukkaant…
Urheiluvalmentajien aktiivisuus vammojen ennaltaehkäisyssä

Nuorten jalkapalloilijoiden tyyppivammat, vammojen syntymisen riskitekijät ja harjoittelu
2015
Jalkapallo on lasten ja nuorten suosituin urheilulaji Suomessa. Sen harrastamisella on lukuisia positiivisia terveysvaikutuksia, mutta siinä on todettu olevan suuri vammariski verrattuna moneen muuhun joukkuelajiin. Jotta vammojen ennaltaehkäiseminen olisi mahdollista, tulee ensin selvittää jalkapalloilijoille tyypillisimmät vammat sekä mahdolliset riskitekijät. Loukkaantumiskierre alkaa usein jo nuorella iällä, mistä syystä vammojen tutkimisen tulisi suuntautua nuoriin urheilijoihin. Lisäksi harjoitusmäärien selvittäminen antaa tärkeää tietoa siitä, liikkuvatko nuoret jalkapalloilijat riittävästi suositusmääriin nähden. Huolimatta siitä, että jalkapallovammatutkimuksia on tehty paljon, on …
Predictors of In‐School and Out‐of‐School Sport Injury Prevention : A Test of The Trans‐Contextual Model
2021
The current study aimed to predict secondary school students' motivation toward sport injury prevention in 'in-school' and 'out-of-school' contexts, and their sport injury prevention behaviour at 3-month follow-up using the trans-contextual model (TCM). Hong Kong secondary school students (N = 1,566; mean age = 13.34 years, range = 11 to 19; female = 49.42%) were recruited. Participants were asked to complete a survey comprising previously-validated scales measuring TCM constructs at baseline, and a measure of sport injury prevention behaviour at follow-up three months later. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the hypothesised paths among TCM constructs. A SEM specifying…
Tendon length estimates are influenced by tracking location
2022
Abstract Purpose Measurement of medial gastrocnemius (MG) tendon length using ultrasonography (US) requires the muscle–tendon junction (MTJ) to be located. Previously, the MG MTJ has been tracked from different proximo-distal locations near the MTJ, which could influence estimates of tendon length change due to the different characteristics of the aponeurosis and tendon. We used US to evaluate the effect of tracking point location on MG MTJ displacement during maximal and submaximal (10, 20 and 30% of the non-injured maximal) isometric plantar flexion contractions. Methods Displacement behaviour of MTJ was tracked from (1) the exact MTJ; and (2) from an insertion point of a muscle fascicle …
The effects on riding performance using active vs passive recovery during a simulated motocross race
2017
Aleix Ollé Casanovas. 2017. The effects on riding performance using active vs passive recovery during a simulated motocross race. University of Jyväskylä. 53p. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of active and passive recovery methods in order to improve physical performance between motocross races. Exercise induced muscle damage post motocross racing was assessed as well. Participants performed 2 races of 30 minutes with one hour break in between. During the break they performed either active or passive recovery protocols. Specific motocross performance outcomes and athlete’s physical conditions were measured during, and before and after every motocross race. Lap times (…

Psychological processes of ACL-patients' post-surgery rehabilitation : A prospective test of an integrated theoretical model
2020
Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to examine the utility of an integrated model comprising constructs from self-determination theory (SDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in predicting adherence to a post-surgery rehabilitation program in patients receiving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Constructs of the integrated model measured at baseline were expected to predict patients' rehabilitation adherence two months later. Method: Patients (N = 121, M age = 27.62, range = 18–53; 36.66% female) scheduled to have ACL reconstruction surgery within two months were recruited from a Hong Kong public hospital. At baseline and two-month follow-up, patients com…
