Beach tennis, a fast-growing sport since its creation in Italy in the 1970s, has rapidly gained in popularity, particularly in La Réunion sisland since 2000. However, despite its development, studies on beach tennis-specific injuries are rare, based on cross-sectional studies and therefore limited by temporal or memory bias. The need for prospective research is crucial if we are to gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of injuries and improve prevention and medical management. The aim will be to determine the risk of injury among beach tennis players within a one-year national prospective cohort.

Achieving the correct quantity and quality of sleep is essential for the health and recovery processes of the athlete; night rest is often negatively influenced by many variables, including: high training loads, long-range trips, evening competitions, and / or high levels of anxiety and stress. High training loads can therefore have negative influences both on sleep but also on the risk of injury in athletes. Understanding and studying, in different sports, how sexual / masturbatory activity can influence sleep has primary importance for athletic and medical staff of athletes with the ultimate aim of preserving sports performance and reducing the risk of injuries. The primary objective of this experimentation is to explore the perceived relationship between sexual activity (or masturbation), sleep quality and sleep latency in a population of athletes.

NCT06451367
This study focuses on understanding the cardiovascular and endocrine responses of young soccer players aged 14 to 18 years to a muscular training program. Adolescence is a critical period for physiological development, and investigating these responses can provide insights crucial for athletic performance and overall health. The benefits include promoting overall health, reducing injury risk, and enhancing scientific knowledge. However, intensive training programs may lead to overtraining and potential negative health outcomes if not carefully monitored. The study aims to assess whether additional neuromuscular development over 12 weeks can enhance players' physical fitness and hormonal changes. By examining these outcomes, the study seeks to inform evidence-based training protocols for optimizing adolescent athletes' health and performance in soccer. The study design involves a prospective single-center randomized cohort to investigate these responses comprehensively.

Sports injuries are a very important issue for baseball players. Previous studies have found that the incidence of sports injuries faced by baseball players is continuously increasing. Sports injury rates in professional baseball, high school baseball, and college baseball players were as high as 3.6, 4.6, and 5.8 per 1,000 players, respectively. The main cause of many pitching injuries is attributed to a large number of repetitive pitches. To avoid sports injuries, it is necessary to know how to assess the risk of injury caused by repetitive pitching. Throwing is a fairly complex action that requires the coordination of the entire body. It is critical to investigate the biomechanical changes of players in order to effectively analyze such complex movements.

Background Nowadays, in elite demanding football, injuries are a delicate issue as affects player's availability for the teams to win games and attain trophies.Following an injury, the appropriate recovery is vital to return athletes quickly and safely to their sport, based on pre injury physical and psychological levels. Delay in rehabilitation can result in prolonged pain and a delayed return to sports, a finding that emphasizes the importance of proper rehabilitation procedure during injury recovery.On field functional rehabilitation, a key point in injury recovery in football , as presented in the definition of rehabilitation ,obtained the interaction of the person with the environment he lives and provide him/her the ability to optimize functionality. Especially in sports, the last one is applied via ecological theory in sports with a wealth of benefits for the player during injury recovery on filed. Ecological theory bring us closer to the sport from a realistic approach , can provide an explanation to many situations that arise in sports and understands the athlete as a part of his/her own surroundings. Ideally, through injury recovery , the focus should be more on the biological time needed for the injury to recover, while trying to maintain the skills of the athlete during the rehabilitation process. Adequate and appropriate cognitive and neuromuscular skills should be maintained in high level, in activities that normally occurred during training or games. In this Context, application of ecological theory in football on field functional rehabilitation provide to the player the ability to maintain this skills, according with the high demands of elite football players.The maximum retention of football specific skills and the adaptation of injured tissue in an injury football player take place on his/her natural environment of action , the field . What sports medicine community knows? Until today, disunity of opinions prevalent among sports medicine community about on filed functional rehabilitation during injury recovery.The majority of the clinicians apply on field functional rehabilitation, called as traditional on filed rehabilitation, as the late phase of injury recovery ,where the player comeback on filed activity when he had already restore maximum or the average strength and function based on pre injury screening or standard value.The progression of the player during the late phase of injury recovery based on load monitoring with (global position system) to control progression and risk of reinjury. On the contrary emphasized the opinion of the early return to filed activity that's can increase for the injury player the ability to maintain sports specific skills as much as he can during injury recovery. In the literature review there is a absence of evidence to refer to a specific framework for on field functional rehabilitation in regard of recovery an injured football player (elite or amateur ) on field. References ,with a lack of evidence ,exist only in some specific rehabilitation protocols such as muscle injury rehabilitation tendons injuries management or Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction rehabilitation as the late phase of injury recovery.Only one study, present on field functional rehabilitation framework of 5 stages based on traditional rehabilitation for short and long term injuries based on load monitoring through global position system ,as a work based on experience and lacking of evidence. Aim The overall objective of the proposed research is to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of ''On FI.RE. framework'' (on filed rehabilitation framework),namely the early return to on field activities during an injury recovery. Included a specific 5 stages program-framework , and a daily session planning framework for on field functional rehabilitation. The effectiveness will evaluated with the time that the player needed to return to full participation in teams training.
