Abstract

Functional Movement Screen®(FMS®) allows to assess athlete’s movement functionality. Movement funcionality in young elite and non-elite swimmers may predict future performance. The purpose of this study is to compare FMS®scores between young elite and non-elite swimmers, and to verify their relationship with 100m freestyle performance. Thirty-two elite swimmers (age: 14.99 ± 0.13 years old; height: 1.71 ± 0.02 m; body mass: 61.28 ± 1.27 kg; Fédération Internationale de Natation [FINA] points: 651.59 ± 6.44) and 17 non-elite swimmers (age: 14.65 ± 0.19 years old; height: 165.12 ± 2.03 cm; body mass: 57.22 ± 2.43 kg; FINA points: 405.71 ± 21.41) volunteered to participate in this cross-sectional study. Individual-test FMS®scores, FMS®composite score and FINA points were considered for analysis.Elite swimmers achieved higher Deep Squat (p= 0.005; ES = 0.99), Right Hurdle Step (p= 0.005; ES = 0.99), Left Hurdle Step (p= 0.002; ES = 1.08), Trunk Stability Push Up (p< 0.001; ES = 1.44) and FMS®composite (p< 0.001; ES = 1.35) scores compared to non-elite swimmers. FMS®composite scores were positively related with 100m freestyle performance (r = 0.596, r2= 40.9%, p< 0.001).Young non-elite swimmers reveal functional deficits in tasks involving mobility of the hips,knees and ankles, and stabilization of the core and spine. Higher movement functionality is positively related with 100m freestyle performance. Swimming coaches should consider these deficits and their relationship with performance to differentiate exercise prescription between this populations. La Functional Movement Screen® (FMS®) le permite evaluar la funcionalidad del movimiento en los atletas. La funcionalidad del movimiento en nadadores jóvenes de élite y no élite puede predecir el rendimiento futuro. El objetivo de este estudio es comparar las puntuaciones FMS® entre jóvenes nadadores de élite y no élite y verificar su relación con el rendimiento de 100 metros estilo libre. Treinta y dos nadadores de élite (edad: 14,99 ± 0,13 años; altura: 1,71 ± 0,02 m; peso corporal: 61,28 ± 1,27 kg; puntos Fédération Internationale de Natation [FINA]: 651,59 ± 6,44) y 17 nadadores no élite (edad: 14,65 ± 0,19 años; altura: 165,12 ± 2,03 cm; masa corporal: 57,22 ± 2,43 kg; puntos FINA: 405,71 ± 21,41) quienes se ofrecieron como voluntarios para participar en este estudio transversal. Puntajes FMS® de la prueba individual, puntajes compuestos por puntos FMS® y FINA fueron considerados para el análisis. Los nadadores de élite lograron valores más altos en sentadilla profunda (p = 0,005; ES = 0,99), paso de valla derecha (p = 0,005; ES = 0,99), paso de valla izquierda (p = 0,002; ES = 1,08), flexión de estabilidad del tronco (p

Abstract

The elderly spend many hours of their day in sedentary behavior and understanding its determinants is essential to reduce its biopsychosocial consequences. We carried out a review of narrative literature in order to describe the determinants of sedentary behavior in this population. The studies were systematically analyzed, going through several stages of selection, investigating two theoretical models and empirical evidence. Six groups of determinants related to the individual and the community were identified. These data will be useful information for all those wishing to combat this problem and help provide a better quality of life for the elderly., Os idosos passam muitas horas do dia em comportamentos sedentários e a compreensão dos seus determinantes é fundamental para reduzir as suas consequências biopsicossociais.

Abstract

The study aims to identify and understand the consequences of sedentary behavior on the psychosocial well-being of the elderly with low levels of physical activity. Participated in the study 14 elderly (M = 67 years old; PD = 1.4). The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed according to the procedures of the thematic analysis. It was identified that the different dimensions of sedentary behavior (the type of sedentary behavior, interruption of sedentary behavior, uninterrupted sitting time, and frequency) can influence the psychosocial well-being of the elderly. Also, three indicators ( perception of improvement and maintenance of cognitive functions, perception of positive affective states, and perceived social interaction) associated with the promotion of psychosocial well-being of the elderly and two indicators (perception of diminishing social relations and perception of mental fatigue symptoms) that may contribute to its deterioration were identified. The results of this study can be useful for the development of interventions that aim to reduce the daily sedentary time of the elderly and increase the usual levels of physical activity., As evidências científicas sugerem que o excesso de comportamento sedentário é um fator de risco para a saúde física dos idosos, independentemente dos seus níveis de atividade física. No entanto, o conhecimento acerca das consequências do comportamento sedentário em diversos indicadores psicossociais na população idosa, está, ainda, pouco explorado. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar e compreender as consequências do comportamento sedentário no bem-estar psicossocial de idosos residentes em Portugal. Participaram no estudo 14 idosos com idades compreendidas entre os 65 e os 73 anos. Com a finalidade de descrever os participantes entrevistados, utilizou-se questionários que permitiram estimar o tempo médio diário utilizado em diferentes comportamentos sedentários e o nível habitual de atividade física. Além disso, os dados foram recolhidos através de entrevistas semiestruturadas e analisados em função dos procedimentos da análise temática. Foi identificado que as diferentes dimensões do comportamento sedentário (o tipo de comportamento sedentário, a interrupção do comportamento sedentário, o tempo ininterrupto sentado e a frequência) podem ter influência no bem-estar psicossocial dos idosos. Além disso, foram identificados três temas (a perceção de melhoria e de manutenção de funções cognitivas, a perceção de estados afetivos positivos e a interação social percebida) associados à promoção do bem-estar psicossocial dos idosos e dois temas (a perceção da diminuição de relações sociais e a perceção de sintomas de fadiga mental) que podem contribuir para a deterioração do mesmo. Os resultados deste estudo são úteis para a compreensão da experiência dos idosos em relação ao comportamento sedentário e as implicações deste na dimensão cognitiva, emocional e social, das suas vidas.

Abstract

The ability to generate and control mental images is present in all of us, but it differs from person to person. Therefore, it is important to understand that imagery ability can be changed through training and experimentation, it is not a fixed ability. The aim of this study is to compare imagery ability in elite, sub-elite and non-elite athletes in a sport which involves closed and continuous motor skills, such as swimming. 79 swimmers (male N = 37; female N = 42) at an average age of 17 took part in this study. In order to assess imagery ability, the Movement Imagery Questionnaire 3 was used, Portuguese version (Mendes et al., 2016). After analysis of the results, these show that in each and every imagery modality, the scores in the three groups differ significantly. In kinesthetic and external visual imagery the elite and sub-elite groups’ scores, although not statistically different from each other, are significantly higher than those of the non-elite group. In internal visual imagery, the differences between all the compared pairs of groups are statistically significant. The elite group got the highest scores, followed by the sub-elite group average scores and finally the non-elite group average scores. According to these results, the conclusion is that athletes with better performance show greater imagery ability and that apparently the external visual imagery proved to be the best intervention method among swimming athletes. RESUMEN La capacidad de controlar y generar imágenes mentales está presente en todos los individuos, pero varía de sujeto a sujeto, por lo tanto, es importante entender que la habilidad de visualización mental es una capacidad que se puede modificar con el entrenamiento y la experimentación, y no una habilidad fija. El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue el de comparar la habilidad de visualización mental en practicantes de Elite, Sub-Elite y No-Elite, en una modalidad deportiva con habilidades motoras cerradas y continuas, la natación. En este estudio participaron 79 sujetos practicantes de Natación (N = 76) (género masculino N = 37, género femenino N = 42) con una edad media de 17 años (DE = 3,1). Se definieron tres niveles de práctica, el grupo de Elite (N = 29), el grupo Sub-Elite (N = 27) y No-Elite (N = 23). Para evaluar la habilidad de visualización mental se utilizó el Movement Imagery Questionnaire - 3, versión portuguesa (Mendes et al., 2015). Después de analizar los resultados verificamos que en todas y cada una de las modalidades de visualización mental, las medias obtenidas en los tres grupos (Elite, Sub-Elite y No-Elite) muestran diferencias significativas. De acuerdo con estos resultados podemos concluir que los atletas con mejor rendimiento deportivo muestran una mejor capacidad de visualización mental y que, aparentemente, la modalidad visual externa resultó como el mejor método de intervención para practicantes de Natación. RESUMO A habilidade de controlar e gerar imagens mentais está presente em todos os indivíduos, mas varia de sujeito para sujeito. Consequentemente, é importante entender que a habilidade de imagery é uma capacidade que pode ser modificável com o treino e a experimentação, e não uma habilidade fixa. O objetivo do nosso estudo foi comparar a habilidade de imagery em praticantes de Elite, Sub-Elite e Não-Elite, numa modalidade com habilidades motoras fechadas e contínuas, a Natação. Neste estudo, participaram 79 sujeitos praticantes de Natação (N = 76) (sexo masculino N = 37; sexo feminino N = 42), com uma média de idades de 17 anos (SD = 3.1). Foram definidos três níveis de prática, sendo o grupo de Elite (N = 29), o grupo Sub-Elite (N = 27) e Não-Elite (N = 23). Para avaliar a habilidade de imagery, foi utilizado o Movement Imagery Questionnaire - 3, versão portuguesa (Mendes et al., 2015). Após a análise dos resultados, verificámos que em todas e em cada uma das modalidades do imagery, as médias obtidas nos três grupos (Elite, Sub-Elite e Não-Elite) apresentam diferenças significativas. De acordo com estes resultados, podemos concluir que atletas com melhor performance desportiva revelam uma melhor capacidade de imagery e que aparentemente a modalidade visual externa se revelou como melhor método de intervenção em praticantes de Natação.

Abstract

RESUMO O presente estudo sobre o desenvolvimento Motor da criança nos primeiros meses de vida, teve como objetivo verificar a relação entre as Habilidades Motoras e a Idade, e a relação entre as habilidades motoras Globais e Finas em crianças dos 12 aos 46 meses. Para o efeito, desenvolvemos um estudo de natureza quantitativa, com uma amostra de 405 crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 46 meses, de ambos os géneros. Os instrumentos usados no estudo foram as Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2). Em termos globais os resultados indicam que existe uma tendência para correlações positivas (maioritariamente moderadas e baixas) entre as variáveis Idade, Habilidades Motoras Globais e Habilidades Motoras Finas, salientando a correlação positiva moderada (p≤0.05; r2=0.265; 0.5≤ r ≤0.7) entre a Idade e a Motricidade Fina e por sua vez uma correlação positiva pequena (p≤0.05; r2=0.217; 0.1≤ r ≤ 0.3) entre a Idade e a Motricidade Global. Podemos assim contatar, uma melhoria destas habilidades à medida que as crianças vão crescendo, salientando melhores resultados na Motricidade Fina.

ABSTRACT The present study on the motor development of children in the first months of life aimed to verify the relationship between Motor Skills and Age, and the relationship between Global and Fine motor skills in children from 12 to 46 months. For this purpose, we developed a transversal quantitative study, with a sample of 405 children between the ages of 12 and 46 months of both genders. The instruments used in the study were the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2). Overall, the results indicate that there is a tendency for positive (mostly moderate and low) positive correlations between the variables Age, Global Motor Skills and Fine Motor Skills, emphasizing the moderate positive correlation (p≤0.05; r2=0.265; 0.5≤ r ≤ 0.7) between Age and Fine Motricity in turn a small positive correlation (p≤0.05; r2=0.217; 0.1≤ r ≤ 0.3) between Age and Global Motricity. We can thus see an improvement of these abilities as children grow, emphasizing better results in Fine Motor.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to verify the relation between sedentary time and physical activity levels (light to moderate to vigorous) on spirometric values in the elderly. In addition, we aimed to assess the effects of the implementation of the Global Recommendations of Physical Activity. Seventy-seven elderly (71.90 ± 5.50 years) of both genders volunteered to participate in this cross-setional study, being divided into an active group (n= 37) (70.76 ± 4.91 years) and an inactive group (n= 40) (72.95 ± 5.87 years) according to the established guidelines. Sedentary and physical activity times were assessed using an ActiGraph® GT1M accelerometer. The Spirometer Microquark of Cosmed® was used to evaluate the spirometric values. Data analysis was based on descriptive, inferential and magnitude effects. There were no significant correlations between sedentary time and physical activity (light and moderate to vigorous) with spirometric values, nor were there significant differences between groups. Our results are clear as to the absence of significant statistical evidence about the relationship between the analyzed variables, O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a relação entre o tempo sedentário e os níveis de atividade física (leve e moderada a vigorosa) nos valores espirométricos em idosos. Adicionalmente, pretendemos verificar os efeitos da aplicação das Recomendações Globais de Atividade Física. Setenta e sete idosos (média ± DP= 71.90 ± 5.50 anos) de ambos os géneros, voluntariaram-se a participar neste estudo transversal, sendo divididos no grupo ativo (n=37) (70.76 ± 4.91 anos) e no grupo inativo (n=40) (72.95 ± 5.87 anos) de acordo com as diretrizes estabelecidas. O tempo sedentário e de atividade física foi avaliado através do acelerómetro ActiGraph® GT1M. Para a avaliação dos valores espirométricos utilizou-se o espirómetro Microquark da Cosmed®. A análise dos dados foi baseada na estatística descritiva, inferencial e magnitude dos efeitos. Não se verificaram correlações significativas entre o tempo sedentário e de atividade física (leve e moderada a vigorosa) com os valores espirométricos, assim como não se verificaram diferenças significativas entre os grupos. Os nossos resultados são claros quanto à não existência de evidência estatística significativa acerca da relação entre as variáveis analisadas., El objetivo de este estudio fue verificar la relación entre el tiempo sedentario y los niveles de actividad física (leve y moderada a vigorosa) en los valores espirométricos en adultos mayores.

Abstract

RESUMO: Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a eficácia de um treino de visualização mental (VM) em praticantes de Boccia. Participaram neste estudo um total de 42 praticantes, federados (n = 24) e não federados (n = 18). Dois grupos de praticantes de Boccia federados e não federados foram divididos em dois sub-grupos: experimental, submetido ao treino de VM (Federados: n = 12; Não federados: n = 9) e de controlo, submetido a treino regular (Federados: n = 12; Não federados: n = 9). No início do estudo e após um período de 8 semanas de treino de VM, os participantes completaram o Movement Imagery Questionnaire – 3 (MIQ – 3), versão portuguesa. A análise de dados foi realizada com recurso ao método de inferências baseadas na magnitude dos efeitos. Os dois grupos mostraram-se homogéneos no que diz respeito à habilidade de VM no primeiro momento de avaliação, verificando- se um efeito do treino de VM no segundo momento de avaliação. Os resultados revelaram que o grupo experimental (federados e não federados) aumentou a habilidade de VM, enquanto o grupo de controlo (federados e não federados) não revelou alterações na habilidade de VM. Por sua vez, os praticantes não federados do grupo experimental revelaram um aumento superior na habilidade de VM em comparação com os praticantes federados. Os resultados obtidos sugerem a importância da realização de programas de treino de VM para a melhoria das capacidades de VM dos praticantes da modalidade desportiva de Boccia federados e não federados.

Por su parte, los practicantes no federados del grupo experimental revelaron un aumento superior en la habilidad de VM en comparación con los practicantes federados. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren la idoneidad de llevar a cabo programas de entrenamiento de VM para mejorar las capacidades de VM de los practicantes de la modalidad deportiva de Boccia. ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of imagery training in imagery ability in Boccia practitioners. A total of forty-two Boccia practitioners participated on the study: 24 federated and 18 amateurs. The group was divided in two sub-groups: an experimental group that performed regular training with imagery training (n=21, 12 federated and 9 amateurs) and a control group that was submitted to regular training without imagery training (n=21, 12 federated and 9 amateurs). Participants completed the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3) adapted to Portuguese population. Statistics was carried out following the method of magnitude based inferences. In baseline, both groups were quite homogeneous in the visual mental imagery ability. In second evaluation moment, results revealed that, in general, experimental group (federated and amateur) significantly improved imagery ability reversely to the control group (federated and amateur) that maintained baseline scores. At the end, amateurs from the experimental group, revealed a higher increase imagery ability compared to federated participants. These results highlight the effectiveness of the inclusion of visual mental imagery training into Boccia program training due to the improvement of visual mental imagery abilities on these practitioners.

Doisgrupos de praticantes de Boccia federados e não federados foram divididos em d ois sub-grupos: experimental, submetido ao treino de VM (Federados: n = 12; Não federados: n = 9) e de controlo, submetido a treino regular (Federados: n = 12; Não federados: n = 9). No início do estudo e após um período de 8 semanas de treino de VM, os participantes completaram o Movement Imagery Questionnaire – 3 (MIQ – 3), versão portuguesa. A análise de dados foi realizada com recurso ao método de inferências baseadas na magnitude dos efeitos. Os dois grupos mostraram-se homogéneos no que diz respeito à habilidade de VM no primeiro momento de avaliação, verificando-se um efeito do treino de VM no segundo momento de avaliação. Os resultados revelaram que o grupo experimental (federados e não federados) aumentou a habilidade de VM, enquanto o grupo de controlo (federados e não federados) não revelou alterações na habilidade de VM. Por sua vez, os praticantes não federados do grupo experimental revelaram um aumento superior na habilidade de VM em comparação com os praticantes federados. Os resultados obtidos sugerem a importância da realização de programas de treino de VM para a melhoria das capacidades de VM dos praticantes da modalidade desportiva de Boccia federados e não federados.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of imagery training in imagery ability in Boccia practitioners. A total of forty-two Boccia practitioners participated on the study: 24 federated and 18 amateurs. The group was divided in two sub-groups: an experimental group that performed regular training with imagery training (n=21, 12 federated and 9 amateurs) and a control group that was submitted to regular training without imagery training (n=21, 12 federated and 9 amateurs). Participants completed the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3) adapted to Portuguese population. Statistics was carried out following the method of magnitude based inferences. In baseline, both groups were quite homogeneous in the visual mental imagery ability. In second evaluation moment, results revealed that, in general, experimental group (federated and amateur) significantly improved imagery ability reversely to the control group (federated and amateur) that maintained baseline scores. At the end, amateurs from the experimental group, revealed a higher increase imagery ability compared to federated participants. These results highlight the effectiveness of the inclusion of visual mental imagery training into Boccia program training due to the improvement of visual mental imagery abilities on these practitioners. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Abstract

Background: Monitoring training load and competition load is crucial for evaluating and improving athlete performance. This study proposes an applied approach to characterize and classify the training task specificity in relation to competition in a top-level rink hockey team, considering external and internal load from training tasks and competition.Hypothesis: Training tasks and game demands have significant dose-response differences, and exercises can be classified successfully based on their physiological and biomechanical demands.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Level of Evidence: Level 5.Methods: Ten elite-level male rink hockey players participated in this study. Players were monitored on 6 different task categories during 8 training sessions and 2 official games. A linear mixed model with random intercepts was used to compare training tasks and competition load, accounting for individual repeated measures. A 2-step cluster analysis was performed to classify the training tasks and games based on physiological and biomechanical load, employing log-likelihood as the distance measure and Schwartz’s Bayesian criterion.Results: Average heartrate , maximum heartrate, and high-speed skating (18.1-30 km/h) were the best physiological load predictors, while the most effective biomechanical load predictors were impacts [8-10] g(n), decelerations [-10 to -3]m/s²(n), and accelerations [3-10]m/s²(n). Different physiological and biomechanical responses were verified between training tasks and match demands. A 4-quadrant efforts assessment for each task category revealed that training tasks used by the team in the analysis presented lower biomechanical and physiological load demands than competition.Conclusion: Training tasks failed to adequately replicate the specific demands of competition, especially regarding high mechanical stress, such as the absence of high-intensity impacts and decelerations.Clinical Relevance: This method of classification of training tasks may allow coaches to understand further the specificity and contribution of each task to competition demands, consequently improving the capacity of load management and the preparedness and readiness of players for competition.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyse and compare movement visualization ability in federate and nonfederate Boccia athletes, and among federate Boccia medical sport groups. Forty-two Boccia athletes (Federate N = 24; Non-federate N = 18) at an average age of 35.8 (SD = 11.19) participated in this study. The Portuguese version of Movement Imagery Questionnaire - 3 (MIQ-3), was used for this study. The participants were evaluated on the internal and external visual imagery. Statistics was carried out following the method of interference based on the magnitude of the effects. Results showed a great effect of expertise in imagery ability. The comparison between federate and non-federate Boccia athletes showed a great effect in the Internal Visual subscale and a moderate effect in the External Visual subscale. It was also observed differences between athletes from different medical-sports groups, revealing that the requirements of the sport linked to their action abilities provides them with different Imagery abilities. These results clearly influence the prescription of imagery training programs for different groups taking into account different medical-practice groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The ability to generate and control mental images is present in all of us, but it differs from person to person. Therefore, it is important to understand that imagery ability can be changed through training and experimentation, it is not a fixed ability. The aim of this study is to compare imagery ability in elite, sub-elite and non-elite athletes in a sport which involves closed and continuous motor skills, such as swimming. 79 swimmers (male N = 37; female N = 42) at an average age of 17 took part in this study. In order to assess imagery ability, the Movement Imagery Questionnaire 3 was used, Portuguese version (Mendes et al., 2016). After analysis of the results, these show that in each and every imagery modality, the scores in the three groups differ significantly. In kinesthetic and external visual imagery the elite and sub-elite groups’ scores, although not statistically different from each other, are significantly higher than those of the non-elite group. In internal visual imagery, the differences between all the compared pairs of groups are statistically significant. The elite group got the highest scores, followed by the sub-elite group average scores and finally the non-elite group average scores. According to these results, the conclusion is that athletes with better performance show greater imagery ability and that apparently the external visual imagery proved to be the best intervention method among swimming athletes.

Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyse the adaptations of the autonomic nervous system after a musculoskeletal injury, obtained by measuring heart rate variability in athletes. It was hypothesized that there is an alteration in heart rate variability after a musculoskeletal injury., Study Design: Cohort study., Subjects: 15 semi-professional soccer players from three football teams, aged between 21 and 33 (mean age: 29.4 ± 3.31 years), with a recent musculoskeletal injury., Methods: Heart rate variability was collected using the Polar m200 and the chest strap H10 in two moments: within 72 h after the injury and between 5 and 7 days after full return-to-play., Results: Results show differences between T1 and T2 (p ≤ 0.05) in low-frequency power (n.u.) (p = 0.001) and high-frequency power (n.u.) (p = 0.001), in low-frequency/high-frequency ratio (p = 0.001) and in high-frequency power (ms2) (p = 0.017) measures. No statistical differences were found in low-frequency power (ms2) (p = 0.233). The low frequency power (n.u.) was significantly lower after injury compared with LF power (n.u.) values after full return-to-play. In high-frequency power there was a significant difference between both moments with high values after injury., Conclusions: The use of heart rate variability therefore seems to be promising to detect an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system and help clinical departments to identify a possible non-traumatic musculoskeletal injury. Further research should be performed considering a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and to establish baseline values of the athletes.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to verify the typology and incidence of injury by comparing the different competitive levels of futsal during the preseason., Methods: The sample consisted of 68 senior male futsal players (24.26 ± 4.63 years). Data were collected using an injury recording grid that examined the affected body part, anatomical region, type of injury, mechanism, and severity., Results: It was found that the elite group has the lowest incidence rate of injury (4.8 injuries per 1,000 h of exposure) compared to the sub-elite (11.8 injuries per 1,000 h of exposure) and amateur groups (13.9 injuries per 1,000 h of exposure). However, at this level, there is the highest percentage of injury occurrence (38.5%), the lower limb was the most affected part of the body (30.8%), and ligament (23.1%) and muscle (15.4%) injuries are the most prevalent. The most frequent mechanism of injury was non-traumatic (30.8%), and the majority were moderate injuries in the elite (23.1%) and sub-elite (17.9%) groups and severe injuries in the amateur group (12.5%)., Discussion: The amateur futsal players had the highest incidence of injury during the preseason period compared to the other competitive levels. Still, it was at the elite level where the highest percentage of injuries occurred, most of them non-traumatic and of ligament origin, primarily affecting the ankle region. The results highlight the importance of adopting specific injury prevention programs for ligament and muscle injuries during the preseason phase, regardless of the competitive level., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (© 2024 Marques, Rebelo, Crisóstomo, Honório, Duarte-Mendes, Petrica and Serrano.)
