The long recovery time required after deep venous thrombosis (DVT), or other serious manifestations of venous thromboembolic disease, can lead to a reduction in sporting condition and economic losses. Neither are such events always free of clinical sequelae. Objective This study examines the prevalence of DVT in male, professional soccer players i...

Introducción: El nivel de flexibilidad activa parece ser uno de los factores a tener en cuenta en el "return to play" (RTP) después de una lesión de la musculatura isquiotibial. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo la validación del uso del sistema inercial Dycare ®-Lynx para la medición del ángulo y velocidad de flexión de cadera en un test de...

A great number of studies have examined whether analgesia occurs after the exercise. Pain thresholds and pain tolerances have been found to increase after the exercise. Nowadays, the mechanism or mechanisms responsible for exercise-induced analgesia are poorly understood. Although the involvement of endogenous opioid system has received support in...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a compression garment as DOMS prevention. This was accomplished by provoking a DOMS in 15 athletes, running on a treadmill at 73% of their maximal aerobic velocity, during 40 minutes with a 10% negative slope; wearing the compression garments on one thigh, protected thigh (PT), and not in the con...

Trapezoid fractures are relatively rare upper limb fractures. The case report of a trapezoid stress fracture in the dominant hand of a 22 year old international standard shot-putter is presented.

L’estudi epidemiològic de lesions esportives és fonamental per poder avaluar les causes i conseqüències d’aquestes sobre l’esportista. S’escull el model de codificació The Orchard Sports Injury Classification System (OSICS) per determinar la seva utilitat a l’hora de gestionar i avaluar l’epidemiologia lesional esportiva, utilitzant com a referènci...

The overtraining syndrome describes the condition of prolonged imbalance between training load and recovery, with increased incidence in high level performance sports. Is very important to manage this syndrome not only for the consequences at the performance of the athlete, but also because of the potential risk of athlete's health. Although the sy...

A case of ruptured rectus abdominis muscle in a professional volleyball player is presented and discussed. The injury was located near the deep fascia of the upper stomach muscle on the non-dominant side. This injury is rarely specifically mentioned in the literature and there are few reported cases. The injury mechanism is usually indirect at the...

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (OHB) is a therapeutic modality based on the properties of partial pressure of oxygen, when breathing pure oxygen under hyperbaric conditions in a chamber designed for that purpose. Its indications in medicine are considered as primary, complementary or experimental depending on the evidence based effects. From different s...

Achilles tendinitis is a common sport-induced injury. The clinical findings of several cases of recurrent Achilles tendinitis show thickened tendon, painful with movement and with palpation, and with the existence of nodules in the distal end of the tendon. Musculoskeletal ultrasound shows volume increase, hypoechoic and hyperechoic images in the t...

As well as the running and all the activities which implicate the lower extremity as closed kinetic chain, has a special interest studying of support phase, because the strength generates by the impact could have a negative influence in the locomotion's system. Those strengths depend on the subject's adaptability, on their kinetic pattern and, prob...
