ACL Prevention In (Female) Handball… Where Are We Now – What’s Next? ✍️ Written: by @MyklebustGrethe Numerous studies across various ball sports, including handball, have demonstrated a significant potential for reduction in ACL injury risk. The current body of evidence confirms the efficacy of incorporating an exercise program into the warm-up sessions for the players. The program should integrate a blend of strength, plyometric, coordination and technique exercises. A growing concern is the escalating incidence of ACL injuries among young female athletes. Consequently, it should be mandatory to include preventive programs/exercises as soon as children, both girls and boys, commence their handball training. By initiating these programs early, we can normalize prevention training as a standard element of training. The dissemination of this knowledge amongst all handball coaches is likely our most prudent investment. Utilizing accessible digital resources such as websites and applications, we can effectively reach the primary stakeholders in this matter: the players and coaches 🔗Read More 👉 journal.aspetar.com/en/archive/vol…

#OpenAccess Managing Patellar Tendinopathy In-season Patellar Tendinopathy (PT) in court-based sports is a condition in which athletes often try to ‘get comfortable with being uncomfortable’. This condition mainly affects athletes involved in repetitive movements involving the stretch-shortening cycle such as jumping and landing, making it also known as ‘jumper’s knee’ A review by Nutarelli et al., which included 8684 athletes from a variety of sports demonstrated that around 1589 (18.3%) suffered from PT. Of these symptomatic athletes, about 731 (46%) were playing a court-based sport. In running based sports, such as football, where jumping demands are much lower, only 95 athletes experienced similar complaints. PT issues are common in handball players due to the nature of the game requiring numerous accelerations/decelerations, changes of direction and jumping and landing activities involving one or both lower limbs. Physiotherapists understand that rest can help reduce symptoms, but this often comes with the cost of missing game time. The return to play time for court-based athletes suffering from PT has been shown to be on average 60 days, greatly varying depending on the severity of symptoms. This often leads to difficult discussions with team managers who understand players missing game time can have an impact on overall team standings Athletes who suffer from PT can be difficult to manage during a competitive season. Reviewing the athlete’s strength and power capabilities, the biomechanical characteristics of specific landing and jumping activities and his/her plyometric capacity should help clinicians identify the possible causes of the PT symptoms. 🔗Full article 👉 journal.aspetar.com/en/archive/vol… ✍️– Written by @BrendanButler4 & Claudio Palumbo
