Student Symposium
Collegiate swimmers and coaches are always looking to improve athletic performances. Shoulder strength and shoulder flexibility are two factors that may correlate improved performance throughout a season. The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes in shoulder strength and ROM over the course of a collegiate season. Thirty-four collegiate swimmers (males =15, females =19, age =19.38 ± 1.26 years, height = 1.76 ± 0.098m, mass = 73.55 ± 12.66kg) were assessed during the pre-season and post-season in shoulder strength and ROM. Athletic performance was assessed and quantified by determining the amount of personal bests each athlete swam. Twenty-nine …

Athletics is a common source of muscle imbalances due to the repetitive movements performed in a sport. Muscle imbalances can create movement asymmetries between opposing muscles in the body that can cause overuse injuries or alter sport performance. In the sport of field hockey, athletes encounter repetitive movements on one side of their body due to the nature of the sport. The purpose of this study was to analyze the change in functional movement, balance performance, and power output throughout a competitive field hockey season. Eighteen field hockey athletes (mean age = 19.3 ± 1.2 years) were assessed in several …

Comparison Of Single Leg Performance Tests In Athletes With And Without Acl Reconstruction, Cassandra Oberle
Student Symposium
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury rates among collegiate athletes continue to rise across 15 different men's and women's sports. Re-injury in ACL-reconstructed athletes occurs in 6-13% of reconstructed knees, and 2-6% sustain a ACL injury to the opposite leg. Strength and power have been found to be useful measures of muscle function. Clearance for sport participation following reconstruction and rehabilitation used to be based on a length of time rather than objective measurements of functional movements. Patients typically return to sport between 6 to 9 months postoperatively, which is now being questioned as to whether or not it is an …
