TLDR
It is suggested that running speed, cardiorespiratory endurance, balance, dorsiflexion strength, coordination, muscle reaction, and dors iflexion range of motion at the ankle are associated with the risk of ankle inversion sprains in male subjects.Abstract:
BackgroundMany variables have been retrospectively associated with ankle sprains. However, very little is known about factors predisposing people to these injuries.HypothesisMeasurable intrinsic factors might predispose male athletes to ankle sprains.Study DesignCohort study; Level of evidence, 2.MethodsA total of 241 male physical education students were evaluated for possible intrinsic risk factors for inversion sprains at the beginning of their academic study. The evaluated intrinsic risk factors included anthropometrical characteristics, functional motor performances, ankle joint position sense, isokinetic ankle muscle strength, lower leg alignment characteristics, postural control, and muscle reaction time during a sudden inversion perturbation. Subjects were followed prospectively for 1 to 3 years.ResultsA total of 44 (18%) of the 241 male subjects sustained an inversion sprain; 4 sprained both ankles. Cox regression analysis revealed that male subjects with slower running speed, less cardiorespirat...read more

Systematic review of postural control and lateral ankle instability, part I: can deficits be detected with instrumented testing.

TL;DR: Instrumented postural control testing on stable force plates is better at identifying deficits that are associated with an increased risk of ankle sprain and that occur after acute ankle sprains than at detecting deficits related to chronic ankle instability.

TL;DR: In this article, a multivariate analysis based only on acute timeloss injuries revealed the 40-m sprint test result (adjusted OR, 2.03 for 1 standard deviation change [injured group faster]; 95% CI, 1.06-3.88; P 5.03) and functional testing of the rectal abdominal muscles (adjusted OR, 15.5 [painful in 19% of the players in the injured group compared to 16% in the uninjured group] as significant risk factors.

Assessing proprioception: A critical review of methods
TL;DR: Understanding of proprioception and the three testing methods: threshold to detection of passive motion, joint position reproduction, and active movement extent discrimination, all of which have been used for assessing proprioceptive mechanisms are reviewed.

Relationship between balance ability, training and sports injury risk
TL;DR: It would appear that balance training, as a single intervention, is not as effective as when it is part of a multifaceted intervention, and research is required to generate an effective and efficient preventative programme that can be adopted by athletes of most levels.

Understanding acute ankle ligamentous sprain injury in sports
Daniel Tik-Pui Fong,Yue-Yan Chan,Kam-Ming Mok,Patrick Shu-Hang Yung,Patrick Shu-Hang Yung,Kai-Ming Chan +5 more
TL;DR: This paper summarizes the current understanding on acute ankle sprain injury, which is the most common acute sport trauma, accounting for about 14% of all sport-related injuries and 80% are ligamentous sprains caused by explosive inversion or supination.

Body fat assessed from total body density and its estimation from skinfold thickness: measurements on 481 men and women aged from 16 to 72 years
J. V. G. A. Durnin,J. Womersley +1 more
TL;DR: Skinfold thicknesses at four sites – biceps, triceps, subscapular and supra-iliac – and total body density were measured on 209 males and 272 females aged from 16 to 72 years, finding it necessary to use the logarithm of skinfold measurements in order to achieve a linear relationship with body density.

The multistage 20 metre shuttle run test for aerobic fitness
TL;DR: A maximal multistage 20 m shuttle run test was designed to determine the maximal aerobic power of schoolchildren, healthy adults attending fitness class and athletes performing in sports with frequent stops and starts, indicating that the same equation could be used keeping age constant at 18.

TL;DR: The first logical deduction of muscle-generated electricity was first documented by Italian Francesco Redi in 1666 as discussed by the authors, who suspected that thenshock of the electric ray fish was muscular in origin and wrote, lIt appeared to me as if the painful action was located innthese two sickle-shaped bodies, or muscles, more than any other part of the body.
