Article Synopsis
- Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are prevalent in football and soccer, with eccentric strength imbalance being a key factor influencing these injuries, particularly as athletes progress in age and skill.
- High school soccer players show more pronounced hamstring imbalances compared to collegiate and professional levels, indicating a need for targeted strength training.
- The study found that female high school soccer athletes exhibited significant imbalances in torque and work when compared to their collegiate counterparts, while football athletes showed no major differences in force imbalances across skill levels.
Article Synopsis
- * The study successfully utilized the CRISPR-Cas9 system to target and induce specific mutations in the ndr2 gene in zebrafish embryos, leading to the expected cyclopic phenotypes.
- * Analysis revealed that most induced mutations resulted in small changes that disrupted normal gene function, enhancing the understanding of ndr2's role and demonstrating the effectiveness of CRISPR technology for targeted genetic studies.
