Multiple different training techniques are incorporated and three different energy systems are present for a soccer player to achieve optimal performance. Muscle Groups Used…

One of the ways that re-injury anxiety can be measured is through the use of the Fear Avoidance Model (FAM) (Leeuw et al., 2007). The FAM aims to describe the course of thought that occurs in patients when they are assessing their pain and potential for future pain. When patients…

tackling. Tackling can be done in a number of ways, including the hard knock-out hits as well as the slow paced wrap-ups. Either way, players face potential danger during every single play. These hard and intense impacts have a possibility of causing injuries to those who are involved. Do we really want to put our kids through hundreds of direct…

2.10.1 Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) Fuzzy set theory explain this technique to enhance an image of handwritten scripts and for an edge detection of wrist X-ray images. In the case of the contrast enhancement process of an image, the Fuzzy set also seen as a collection of membership functions, where each represents how much degree of corresponding grayscale pixels is possible to be “bright”. In other words, a Fuzzy membership value of the image Fuzzy set can be understood as the degree of…

Muscular injuries are one of the leading injuries faced by amateur and elite athletes today (Dadebo, White, & George, 2004; Mayo, Seijas, & Alvarez, 2014; Woods, Bishop, & Jones, 2007).
