bibliography #6
This was by far the most interesting article I found and found it to be extremely helpful and insightful. The authors were L. Ristolainen, A. Heinonen, H. Turunen, H. Mannstrom, B. Waller, J.A. Kettunen and U.M. Kujala. Type of sport is related to injury profile: A study on cross country skiers, swimmers, long-distance runners and soccer players. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports 20.3 (June 2010): p384(10). This takes a wide range of sports and around 150 people from every sport and finds the most common injuries between all of them. Most of the sports had recurring foot injuries while swimming and skiing had shoulder issues. This focused mainly on the overuse of a muscle and the subject was taken out of the study if the injury was structural, cause by fast unexpected movement that injures the muscle, ligament or tendon. This is a great general article about sports and their most common injuries. This is aimed at anyone who wants to know what sports undergo what kinds of injuries. This is unique in the fact that it tells what injuries athletes need to be cautious of. This is a huge part of my theories about injuries, sports and how they are related.
