Acute effects of the short-foot exercise in runners with medial tibial stress syndrome: A quasi-experimental study
Analyze whether there are immediate changes in peak soleus activation and peak hindfoot eversion after short-foot exercise (SFE) in runners with medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS). Secondarily, establish differences in peak soleus activation and peak hindfoot eversion between asymptomatic individuals and those presenting MTSS.
The application of a return-to-performance pathway for a professional footballer recovering from a surgical repair of an isolated lateral collateral knee ligament rupture. A case report
Isolated rupture of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the knee is extremely rare in professional football, and there is a paucity of literature describing the rehabilitation for this injury. This case report demonstrates the use of a return-to-performance (RTP) pathway that is time-independent, has clear criteria, and progressive phases to help inform decisions made by a multidisciplinary team (MDT).
Ankle, knee and concussion concerns: Unveiling injury patterns in highly trained South African netball players
To describe the rate and type of netball injuries sustained during women's university-level tournament matches in South Africa.
Hip adduction and abduction strength values in elite-level male and female youth soccer players: A comparison between sexes, and across age-groups
To report isometric hip adduction squeeze and abduction press strength values of elite-level youth male and female soccer players and examine if differences exist between sexes, and age-groups.
Longitudinal assessment of knee joint proprioception using weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing tests throughout rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Evaluate active knee joint position sense (JPS) throughout rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Assessment of hip abductor and adductor muscle strength with fixed-frame dynamometry: Considerations on the use of bilateral and unilateral tasks
To examine the specificities and limitations of bilateral and unilateral tasks for the assessment of hip abductor and adductor strength with a commercially-available fixed-frame dynamometer.

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a systems-based secondary injury prevention intervention aimed at early detection and management of hamstring strain injury (HSI) and time-loss groin injury in an Australian male professional football club.
"I believe it will not get worse": A mixed-methods longitudinal study about patient's perspective of recently developed patellofemoral pain
This study aimed to: (i) understand how women perceived their recently developed patellofemoral pain (PFP) regarding its cause, prognosis, and willingness to seek treatment; (ii) investigate self-reported function, knee-related quality of life (QoL), fear of movement, and physical activity level at the onset of PFP.
The relationship between header type and head acceleration during heading in male youth football players
To explore head impact magnitude (linear head acceleration and rotational velocity) during heading for four different header types in youth male footballers. A secondary objective was to explore whether head impact magnitude was influenced by player-related factors (i.e. age, neck strength).
