International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Accurate understanding of injury patterns in athletes is essential for crafting effective prevention and rehabilitation strategies, enhancing player well-being and career longevity. However, relying solely on general NCAA injury surveillance data or broad epidemiological studies might not fully capture the specific injury trends in a particular NCAA team. Variations in team-specific factors could lead to deviations from these general patterns, underscoring the importance of analyzing team-specific data. This tailored approach ensures that training and rehabilitation protocols are optimally adjusted to the unique needs and injury risks of each specific team. PURPOSE: To identify common types of injuries, their frequencies, …

Association Between Perceived Physical Activity And Cognitive Function In Older Adults, Paul D. Loprinzi, Emily Frith
Association Between Perceived Physical Activity And Cognitive Function In Older Adults, Paul D. Loprinzi, Emily Frith
Faculty and Student Publications
© The Author(s) 2018. There is irrefutable evidence that regular participation in physical activity is favorably associated with numerous positive health outcomes, including cognitive function. Emerging work suggests that perceived physical activity, independent of actual physical activity behavior, is inversely associated with mortality risk. In this study, we evaluate whether perceived physical activity, independent of actual physical activity, is associated with cognitive function, a robust indicator of mortality risk. Data from the cross-sectional 1999–2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were employed (N = 2352; 60+ years of age). Actual physical activity was assessed via a validated survey. Perceived physical …

Predictors Of Morbidity And Mortality Among Thoracic Trauma Patients, Jeremy Patrick Mcconnell
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Background. There are roughly 300,000 rib fractures treated for in the United States each year. These represent 10-26% of thoracic trauma injuries and have about a 10% mortality rate. There is a common belief that mortality in rib fracture patients can be contributed to the diagnosis of pneumonia, but this study does not support that claim. Purpose. To determine the predictors of morbidity and mortality in rib fracture patients. Methods. Using a level 1 trauma center patient registry, we retrospectively analyzed all patients that were admitted with at least one rib fracture (n=1,344). All predictors were analyzed with linear regressions. …
