Seth O'Neill - Director of Research, Deputy Head and Associate Professor at the University of Leicester ⁠ Presenting on:⁠ - Achilles tendon pathology - Methods to loading for the achilles tendon complex - The soleus - A combined approach for speed, endurance and tendon health ⁠ Seth is a Physiotherapy Lecturer at the University of Leicester whilst also maintaining clinical work. He has a PhD on tendinopathy within this Seth has identified prevalence rates of tendinopathy in UK runners and developed a greater understanding of risk factors surrounding Achilles tendinopathy. His later work has completed a more in-depth analysis of how tendinopathy affects the Plantarflexors. This has focussed on how the strength and endurance is affected and which of the Plantarflexors is most involved. ⁠ Register: https://lnkd.in/euTGUBUq ⁠ Are you a Sports MAP Masterclass subscriber? ⁠ ⁠ SAVE on live and virtual event tickets with an annual subscription!

Professional female football players are at high risk of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. In the last two decades, the incidence of ACL injuries in girls has seen a major increase, with incidences increasing from 0.06 per 1000 hours to 0.1–0.2 per 1000 hours. Female athletes participating in intermittent team sports (including football) are reported to have a 2–6 times higher risk of injury than male athletes.

👨🎓 Research Review: Epidemiology of quadriceps muscle strain injuries in elite male Australian football players.  Sam Pietsch, Brady Green, Anthony Schache & Tania Pizzari. (2024). Scand J Med Sci Sports,34(1)   Quadricep muscle strain injuries (QMSIs) are prevalent in the AFL, during athletic activities such as sprinting and kicking, the rectus femoris undergoes large and rapid length changes during its active stretch-shortening cycles due to its biarticular structure, which may explain its propensity for injury. Despite this, little is known about the epidemiology and recovery time frames for QMSIs when compared to other common muscle injuries in football. Data suggests QMSIs present a high level of injury burden with incidence rates of 1–2 new QMSIs per team per season, resulting in an average time loss of 4.4 games. This study reviewed QMSI data reported to the Soft Tissue Registry of the AFL from 2014 - 2020 seasons. 164 QMSIs  (134 index + 30 re-injuries) from 122 players were analysed. Player demographic data, circumstances of injury, MRI reports and recovery outcomes following injury were extracted. Recovery outcomes for injury type, primary muscle injured and the mechanism of injury were compared using univariate analyses Findings: ➡ Rectus femoris injuries represent the most significant injury burden for QMSI in professional AFL (91.3%) ➡48.4% of injuries occurred during kicking + mostly affected the dominant kicking leg (72%)  ➡Compared to players who sustained vastii injuries, those who sustained rectus femoris injuries were significantly shorter and lighter  ➡Longer RTP timeframes (+14 days) may be expected for rectus femoris injuries compared to vastii injuries, and for QMSI with a kicking mechanism compared to injuries from non-running related mechanisms such as landing and jumping or a gradual onset.  ➡All re injuries involved rectus femoris. 70% occurred within 6 months of initial injury ➡Preseason match completion was not a factor in injury risk ➡A higher number of kicking related injuries occurred during training. This may be a result of increased kicking volumes compared to match play Improved knowledge of the clinical factors that impact outcomes for recovery and re-injury after QMSI, can guide injury management and prevention. 🔥 LEARN MORE on Rectus femoris pathology and what’s important for optimal management from author Sam Pietsch at the SportsMAP Network's Solving Soft Tissue Symposium Feb 8-9th 2025 Also don't miss the chance to join Andrew Wallis at the symposium for a workshop on how to design and implement an effective rehabilitation plan for rectus femoris injuries FIND OUT MORE at https://lnkd.in/dFpK4Xma
