Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the incidence of asymptomatic radiologic findings in the groin area of adult male professional soccer players using MRI, focusing on how age and limb dominance might affect these findings.
- - Out of 94 MRI images analyzed, a majority exhibited 1-4 changes in the pubic bone and adjacent regions, including joint irregularities and signs of fatty infiltration, with no notable differences between dominant and non-dominant limbs.
- - The results indicate that asymptomatic changes in the groin area are highly prevalent among players without pain complaints, suggesting these findings might contribute to groin pain in players who do experience it.
Background: There are limited data on the epidemiology of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures in elite adult soccer players, especially in the Russian Premier League (RPL). There is an increased risk of injury due to a combination of additional risk factors such as playing in extremely high and low temperatures, frequent long flights, and regular play on natural and artificial surfaces.
Purpose: To study the epidemiology of ACL ruptures and determine the patterns associated with their occurrence in RPL soccer players.
Article Synopsis
- * RAE was prevalent in U18 and U20 athletes across various events, indicating that those born earlier in the year had more success; however, this effect was not observed in senior athletes, where "late-born" individuals were more successful.
- * The findings suggest that RAE is significant only in younger age groups, which could be important when evaluating an athlete's potential based on their birthdate. *
The aim of the study was to compare the status of somatic maturity, anthropometry, strength, speed, and soccer-specific technical skills of players from leading youth soccer academies born in different quarters of the same calendar year. A total of 678 young male soccer players from eight leading Russian soccer academies took part in the study. The following anthropometric measures and physical characteristics were measured: height, weight, body mass index, countermovement jumps (CMJ), 5, 10, and 20 m sprints, speed dribbling, foot and body ball juggling, and short and long pass accuracy.

Therefore, it is of practical interest to examine the association between testosterone levels and power- and strength-related traits in young professional track and field athletes, and to consider the factors that determine testosterone levels. The study involved 68 young professional athletes (45 females, 17.

Thus, the systematic review of studies supporting these notions is of interest.
Methods: A thorough search on the effects of xenon and argon inhalation on erythropoiesis and steroidogenesis, as well as their negative effects on human health and method detection was conducted.
Background: Currently there are no data examining the relationship between the serum concentration of vitamin D bio-chemical marker 25(OH)D and strength and speed characteristics in elite young track and field athletes. Moreover, there are currently no data examining the correlation of vitamin D status with testosterone concentration in elite young track and field athletes. In studies involving members of the general population and athletes from other sports, conflicting data have been reported.

However, data on the use of various administration protocols of PRP are contradictory. The efficacy of platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of muscle injuries in professional soccer players has to be contextualized within the sport-specific rehabilitation program.

(2) Hypothesis: The prevalence of the RAE in the best young track and field athletes of both genders will be evident in all age groups from 10 to 15 years old, which may be associated with the significant relationship between biological maturity, chronological age, and the development of physical qualities. (3) Materials and methods: In total, 1778 athletes volunteered for this study.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Contemporary research has shown that only a small proportion of high achieving young athletes continue to become successful senior athletes. However, there is a lack of empirical literature tracking the success of senior male and female athletes who were considered high achieving as a youth.
Hypothesis: Athletes of both sexes who are successful in youth categories (U18 and U20) are more likely to be successful senior athletes.
