摘要:

In brief: Nine male racquetball players were monitored during matches with Opponents of equal, stronger, and weaker ability, and heart rate response and intensity of play were determined. The highest heart rate and percent intensity occurred when the monitored player was weaker than his opponent and the lowest occurred when he was stronger than the opponent. Matches Were significantly longer when the Players were of equal ability. The author suggests that when racquetball is recommended to develop and maintain cardiovascular fitness, the participant should be advised to select a partner of similar skill and fitness level.

摘要:

In brief: Iliotibial band syndrome was diagnosed in 48 of 1,030 runners treated for lower extremity musculoskeletal complaints. Most Patients had been running 20 to 40 miles a week for one year or longer and had significantly changed their distance, speed, terrain, surface, and/or shoes before the onset of symptoms. Persons with a varus knee alignment Were most likely to develop the symptoms, which often persisted for two to six months. All runners were treated conservatively with rest, reduced distance, anti-inflammatory medication, local cortisone injections, and/or orthoses.

摘要:

In brief: One hundred and thirty-seven major league baseball players and 32 coaches were tested for body composition, and comparisons were made among positions and among teams. Shortstops were the leanest players (9.2% fat), outfielders averaged 9.9%, and pitchers were the fattest (14.7% fat). The players' body composition reflected the movement patterns and defensive requirements of their positions. There were few differences among teams, and in general, the baseball players were comparable to other professional athletes.

摘要:

In brief:Injury data for an intercollegiate lacrosse team were collected after one season of practices and games and compared with injury data from a summer league team. Only five players (15%) completed the season without injury, and there were 78 total injuries to the 34 players. The most frequent injury was ankle sprain. The experience, skills, and age of collegiate athletes are more homogeneous and they often have superior equipment and playing surfaces, which suggests that they should have fewer injuries. However, the authors believe that the competitiveness of collegiate lacrosse results in higher frequency of injury.
