摘要:

In briefLow back pain is one of the most common complaints of athletes, and the differential diagnosis is challenging because the cause can be biomechanical, neoplastic, infectious, developmental, or traumatic. The author reviews diagnostic steps from medical history and physical examination to the use of bone scans, myelography, and tomography. He also reviews injuries and diseases specific to the adolescent spine and urges physicians to use flexibility exercises to correct the athlete's problem while allowing sports participation to continue. Treatment goals should include pain relief and prevention of further lumbar segment injury.

摘要:

In briefIn mild concussion there is a transient disturbance of neurological function but no loss of consciousness. In the moderate form there is a loss of consciousness for less than five minutes, usually with some retrograde posttraumatic amnesia. The severe category covers loss of consciousness for longer than five minutes, wandering eye movements, and lack of purposeful responses. Loss of short-term memory and coordination are the two primary deficits that occur after concussion. An athlete who loses consciousness should not participate again that day; any athlete who remains unconscious for more than several minutes should be hospitalized. An athlete who has had more than one concussion in a season can return to play when he or she is free of neurological disturbance.

摘要:

In briefOsteochondral fractures of the talar dome are often overlooked because the symptoms are similar to ankle sprains. The most common site of fracture is on either the superolateral or superomedial margin of the dome. Lateral lesions are caused by inversion and dorsiflexion of the ankle, while medial lesions result from inversion and plantar flexion. Careful inspection of x-ray films is the only way to diagnose an acute injury. Surgical treatment is usually required to avoid a long period of immobilization.

摘要:

In briefMajor League Baseball players were divided into control (n=6) and experimental groups (n=14) during the 1978 season. The experimental group participated in a strength training program in addition to game activities. The control group participated only in games and game-related activities. At the end of the season members of the experimental group were significantly stronger than members of the control group and had reduced absolute and relative body fat and increased lean body weight. They also had a higher degree of muscle symmetry between antagonistic muscle groups. Improvements in strength occurred without reducing range of motion or increasing muscle bulk.

摘要:

In briefFootball fatality and catastrophic injury data for 1976 through 1981 are compared with earlier data. The purpose is to analyze the data in regard to rule and equipment changes that have taken place in football since 1976 and to demonstrate the reduction in fatalities and catastrophic injuries. Fatality data for 1981 show five high school and two college fatalities. In 1981 there were five permanent spinal cord injuries in high schools and one in college.

摘要:

In briefBicycling can be a viable alternative to jogging for cardiovascular fitness. However, little research demonstrates the level of intensity and duration necessary to produce a cardiovascular training effect. This study gives the results of seven weeks of bicycle interval training on college women and men aged 20 to 24. There were four workouts per week of progressively increasing intensity and duration. The experimental group improved Vo2max by almost 6 ml·kg-1·min-1. There were no injuries during the training period.
