Context: Both female athletes' participation in soccer and associated injuries have greatly increased in recent years. One issue is the 2-9 times greater incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in female athletes relative to male athletes in comparable sports. Several factors such as limb dominance and sporting history have been proposed to play a role in ACL incidence rates between male and female athletes. However, evidence about the effects of these factors and how they interact with sex is mixed, and thus no consensus exists. Objective: To quantify the effects of sports participation, limb dominance, and sex on dynamic postural control and knee-joint proprioception. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: University research laboratory. Participants: 19 male soccer players, 17 female soccer players, 19 sedentary men, and 18 sedentary women. Intervention: Joint-position sense was tested using reproduction of passive positioning on a Biodex isokinetic dynamometer (30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees from 90 degrees of knee flexion). Three Star Excursion Balance Test directions were used to assess dynamic postural control. Main Outcome Measure: Normalized reach distance (% of leg length) in the anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions on each leg quantified dynamic postural control. Average absolute error and constant error for both limbs quantified joint-position sense. Results: Posteromedial reach distance was significantly better in soccer players than sedentary individuals (P=.006). Anterior reach distance was significantly better (P=.04) in sedentary individuals than soccer players. No limb-dominance or sex differences were identified for dynamic postural control, and no differences in absolute-or constant-error scores were identified. Conclusion: Sporting history has a direction-specific impact on dynamic postural control. Sporting history, sex, and limb dominance do not influence knee-joint proprioception when tested in an open kinetic chain using passive repositioning.

The Relationship between Previous Lower Extremity Injury, Body Weight and Bilateral Eccentric Hamstring Strength Imbalance in Young Soccer Players
Isık, Anil; null, null; Unlu, Gurcan; Batin Gozubuyuk, Omer; Aslanyurek, Turgay; Bereceli, Can (Montenegrin Sports Academy, 2018-9-1)
This study aims to investigate the effect of lower extremity (LE) injuries on bilateral hamstring eccentric strength imbalance (HSI) and to determine the relationship between body weight (BW) and HSI in young male soccer players. Eighty-eight young soccer players aged 14-19 in Turkey voluntarily participated in this study. Eccentric hamstring strength measurements were taken using a NordBord (R) Hamstring Testing Device. To obtain the LE backgrounds of the participants, individual interviews were administer...

The effects of eccentric hamstring training on lower extremity strength and landing kinetics in recreational female athletes
SALCI, YAŞAR; Yıldırım, Ahmet; Celik, Ozgur; Ak, Emre; Kocak, Settar; Korkusuz, Feza (IOS Press, 2013-01-01)
Hamstring training involving eccentric loading is an important protective factor in hamstring injuries. However, the effect of this mode of training on lower extremity loading in landing maneuver performance is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine variations in eccentric hamstring strength after 10-weeks training program and the possible changes in landing kinetics. Twenty five recreational female athletes were voluntarily assigned to the Nordic Hamstraing Strength Training (N = 13) or control ...
THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19 INDUCED MOBILITY RESTRICTIONS ON PHYSICAL FITNESS IN YOUNG SOCCER PLAYERS AT DIFFERENT MATURITY AND TRAINING STATUS
Ünlü, Gürcan; Söğüt, Mustafa; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2022-2-10)
The purpose of this study was to examine the 27-week COVID-19 induced mobility restrictions on physical fitness in young soccer players at different maturity and training status. The 52 participants were categorized into highly trained (HT, n=27) and recreationally trained (RT, n=25) players. HT consists of sixteen pre-PHV and eleven mid-PHV, RT consists of fifteen pre-PHV and ten mid-PHV players. After measuring anthropometrics, the following selected physical fitness tests were performed: handgrip strengt...
The Effect of Fatigue on the Kinematics of Free Throw Shooting in Basketball
Uygur, Mehmet; GÖKTEPE, AYHAN; Ak, Emre; KARABÖRK, HAKAN; Korkusuz, Feza (2010-06-01)
Fatigue is an indispensible part of a basketball game which may affect an athlete's shooting kinematics. Although kinematic analyses of various sports related movements were extensively done, this study is the first to consider the effects of fatigue on the kinematics of free throw shooting. After measuring the resting heart rate, ten collegiate level, male basketball players (21.8 +/- 1.6 y; 192.8 +/- 3.6 cm; 84.1 +/- 8.5 kg) were asked to perform free throws. Two successful and two unsuccessful free throw...
