Abstract
Introduction. Football players of all ages frequently experience knee pain, which may result from unexpected injuries such as sprains, strains, or contusions. A primary risk factor for knee pain is knee injury. A progressive jump training and core neuromuscular training program with short session durations and program lengths can provide similar benefits for landing skills and functional performance as longer-term, mixed-content training programs.
Aim of the study. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of jump training along with core neuromuscular training in football players in improving anterior knee pain, functional performance, and knee valgus using Dartfish software.
Materials and methods. A study was conducted among football players aged 18 to 25 years who reported anterior knee pain, increased knee valgus, and performance deficits. All participants underwent a jump training program combined with core neuromuscular training and hip posterolateral strengthening exercises for four weeks.
Results. The post-intervention Kujala scale values for the experimental and control groups were 89.36 and 67.60, respectively. The mean post-test values for the cross-over hop test for the experimental and control groups were as follows: for males, the right side measured 265.38 and 209.85, while the left side measured 255.42 and 197.62. For females, the right side measured 223.00 and 208.08, while the left side measured 226.18 and 202.15. The mean post-test values for knee valgus in the experimental and control groups were 8.38 and 7.46 for males and 11.08 and 8.83 for females.
Conclusion. This study concludes that jump training combined with core neuromuscular training significantly improves functional performance and reduces anterior knee pain and knee valgus in football players.

Abstract

Goal. Comprehensive evaluation of the body posture in the early school-age children and determining the prevalence of the postural disorders in the population. Estimation of impact of the BMI on the occurrence of the disorders in relation to a child’s gender, and answering the question whether the frequency of the disorders increases with age.
Materials and Methods. The study included 285 school children from the grades 1-3, from a primary school located in Lodz. The study population consisted of 135 girls and 150 boys, aged 6-9 years. As the research method, the visual examination has been used.  The body posture has been assessed in sagittal and frontal planes. And the dynamic gait assessment has been performed. With the observation-based postural assessment method, the spine curvature and the ribcage curvature have been evaluated. An important part of the research has been the observation of the back in the bent forward position, using the Bertrand’s test.
Results. Within the study population of children from the grades 1-3, we have found large percentage of children with the posture disorders, 30.53% in girls and 37.54% in boys. It has been shown, that the most common posture disorder in the early school-age children is the asymmetrical alignment of the shoulder blades. This has been true for, respectively, 37.77% of the girls and 31.33% of the boys. Most at risk for the abnormalities being developed, has been the group of the 7-years-olds. No statistically significant dependency has been found between the impact of the BMI on the posture disorders, in relation to a child’s gender. It has been established that, in the study population, the BMI has had an impact on the valgus knees deformity.
Conclusions. The research has shown true importance of the children posture disorders issue. The prevalence rate of these disorders should prompt to organize screening programs in schools. This will definitely help to quickly establish any deviations from the normal status and will motivate parents and guardians to seek an orthopedic advice or join a rehabilitation program.
