Researches suggest that the use of foot orthoses may change muscle activation patterns of people with flat foot during walking and running activities to people with normal-arched feet but to date there are not studies on the effect of foot orthoses in neuromuscular control of athletes with flat foot deformity in sport tasks. The aim of this study was to compare EMG activity of muscles around the ankle joint in athletes with flat foot in the foot orthoses compared to the situation without foot orthoses, while single-leg jump-landing task is done. In this study of 15 athletes with flat foot deformity 18 to 23 years were selected purposively as the sample. EMG activity of four muscles (tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, medial gastrocnemius and soleus) during single leg jump-landing was registered in two situation with and without foot orthoses. The results showed significant differences in the feedforward activity of the tibialis anterior muscle (p = 0/002) and peroneus longus (p = 0/045) and in the feedback activity of the tibialis anterior muscle (p = 0/049), peroneus longus (p = 0/042), medial gastrocnemius (p = 0/015) and soleus (p = 0/005) between tow situations with and without the foot orthoses. Foot orthoses with changes in neuromuscular function of tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, medial gastrocnemius and soleus muscles may reduce the risk of injuries and disorders of the kinetic chain.}, keywords = {Ankle muscles,Electromyographic activiicty,Foot orthosis,Flat foot,Single leg jump-landing}, url = {https://sshr.ut.ac.ir/article_67138.html}, eprint = {https://sshr.ut.ac.ir/article_67138_e90c4a6a2fdcb3eaf912154596d2c696.pdf} } @article { author = {Bavardi Moghadam, Edris and Shojaedin, Seyed Sadradin and Ghanizadeh hesar, Narmin and Akbarnejad, Ali}, title = {Evaluation of knee Proprioception Changes in Older men with knee Osteoarthritis Following a period of controlled Aerobic activity}, journal = {Sport Sciences and Health Research}, volume = {9}, number = {2}, pages = {153-167}, year = {2018}, publisher = {University of Tehran Press}, issn = {2981-0205}, eissn = {2981-0205}, doi = {10.22059/jsmed.2017.219971.778}, abstract = {This study was done to Evaluation of knee Proprioception Changes in Older men with knee Osteoarthritis Following a period of controlled Aerobic activity.

In addition, functional movement screening test provides useful information about movement, stability in movement chain and the prediction of injuries. The main question of this study was whether there was a relationship between the results of functional movement screening test and dynamic balance and the function of core muscles in female basketball players. In this cross-sectional study, the participants were 38 female basketball players with at least 2 years of club experience in Qom city who were selected based on the research criteria. The McGill test was used to assess the endurance of the core stability muscles. A collection of functional movement screening tests was used to assess movement performance of the participants. The multiple regression test was used for data analysis (P≤0.05). Among predictive variables, a significant relationship was observed only between the endurance of core flexor and dynamic balance and functional movement screening scores (P≤0.01). The relationship between the endurance of lateral flexors and trunk extensors and functional movement screening scores was not significant. The regression model of this study was a moderate model to predict functional movement screening scores. It could predict 58.5% of variance of functional movement screening scores although the endurance of the trunk flexor muscles and dynamic balance could specifically predict functional movement screening scores and have a positive relationship with them.}, keywords = {athletics,basketball,Core stability,Functional movement screening,Muscle Endurance}, url = {https://sshr.ut.ac.ir/article_67136.html}, eprint = {https://sshr.ut.ac.ir/article_67136_efbe75bcc0abf8518b09277c8ded8b62.pdf} } @article { author = {Mirzaei, Bahman and shamsi majelan, ali and Bayati, Rasoul}, title = {Comparison of injury related functional tests in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers}, journal = {Sport Sciences and Health Research}, volume = {9}, number = {2}, pages = {185-196}, year = {2018}, publisher = {University of Tehran Press}, issn = {2981-0205}, eissn = {2981-0205}, doi = {10.22059/jsmed.2018.237740.839}, abstract = {The aim of the present study was to examine Core stability, Balance and FMS scores differences between Freestyle and Greco-Roman youth wrestlers.30 Freestyle wrestlers (age 17/60±1/00 years, height: 1/74±0/06, weight: 75/03±16/73 kg, BMI: 24/54±4/66 kg/m²) and 30 Greco-Roman wrestlers (age 17/73±1/17 years, height: 1/74±0/06, weight: 70/10±12/88 kg, BMI: 23/05±3/42 kg/m²) participated in this study.

The results showed that the incidence of injury in training for children and adolescents varied from 1 to 5 injuries per 1000 hours of training. The incidence of injuries in the competition increases with age. On average, this was about 15 to 20 injuries per 1000 hours. 60 to 90 percent of injuries were acute.

It has also been reported to have a deficit in the joint position sense and differences in the level of muscle activity. The purpose was to determine the effect of closed-kinetic-chain training on proprioception and the electrical activity of some lower extremity muscles in hypermobile females. Twenty-four females with generalized joint hypermobility syndrome participated voluntarily in this study. The subjects were randomly divided into Control and experimental groups. The muscle activity of the some lower extremity muscles; vastus medialis, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, semitendinosus, biceps femoris and medial gastrocnemius was measured during drop landing by surface electromyography and knee position sense error via Imaged-based goniometry. Then experimental group performed training program for six weeks. Finally Shapirovilk test and covariance was used to data analyzing. The results showed, the closed-kinetic-chain training improves proprioception and the level of feed-forward activity of the Vastus medialis, Vastus lateralis, semitendinosus and medial gastrocnemius and the feedback muscle activity of Vastus Medialis and Vastus lateralis increased significantly. We concluded, the closed-kinetic-chain training can be considered as a safe and effective training method to improve the essential factors for stability of joints in the hypermobile females.
