The effect of facial protection, impact location, and neckform stiffness on peak linear acceleration, risk of injury, and energy loading measures of horizontal impacts on a hockey helmet
(2018)
Helmets were originally designed and implemented to protect players from skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries by minimizing linear impact accelerations. The sport of hockey, however, has evolved, and now includes ...
The effect of isometric cervical strength, head impact location, and impact mechanism on simulated head impact measures in female ice hockey players
(2018)
Head injuries in sport have become a growing concern due to the negative acute and chronic health effects manifested from concussion injuries. Ice hockey is a sport associated with a high rate of concussions, although most ...
Sport perfectionism and risk factors of sport injury rehabilitation overadherence
(2018)
Rehabilitation overadherence is a form of nonadherence in which individuals exceed
practitioners’ guidelines regarding the rehabilitation of their injury, resulting in enhanced risk for
re-injury and prolonged recovery ...
The effects of moderate exercise on cognitive, cervical, and vestibulo-ocular functioning in healthy individuals: a pilot study
(2018)
While cognitive and physical rest have long been the protocol that most physicians have recommended for concussions, there has been an increase in interest with regards to the prescription of low intensity symptom-limited ...
The relationship between perfectionism and athlete engagement among male adolescent athletes: the moderating role of coach autonomy support
(2018)
Athlete engagement is a positive state of mind capturing athletes’ feelings of enthusiasm, confidence, vigour, and dedication toward their sport and may result from basic psychological needs satisfaction (Hodge, Lonsdale, ...
Comparing the effects of two proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching techniques and static stretching on active knee extension range of motion and vertical jump performance
(2018)
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching has often been identified as an effective stretching technique for improving range of motion (ROM) prior to exercise. The two PNF stretching techniques that are ...
Ankle bracing's effect on lower extremity biomechanics during athletic performance measures: an exploratory study
(2018)
Introduction: Ankle braces are commonly worn in athletic populations to prevent ankle injuries. Restriction of ankle range of motion (ROM) is considered the main mechanism by which ankle braces prevent ankle injuries. The ...
