Sports rehabilitation is the return of the athlete after medical procedures to the level of fitness that she had before the sports injury. Purpose of this study was to provide a monitoring model for the rehabilitation of injured professional athletes.

This study had a qualitative approach. The statistical population of the research included all specialists and academic staff members of the university in the field of rehabilitation of injured professional athletes in Isfahan province. Purposeful and snowball sampling methods were used to select the participants in the research. To collect data, 18 interviews were conducted between 25 and 45 minutes. The database method was used to identify the components and design the research model with the approach of continuous comparative analysis or simultaneous data analysis. P-Scott's reliability coefficient was used for validation, and its value was 0.83, which is acceptable. The retest reliability in this research was equal to 0.84, which confirms the reliability of coding.

After three stages of coding, 50 open codes were identified, which were divided into 13 axial codes and three selective codes including structural (organizational factors of the club, fans, management, teammates, and coach), individual (psychological, moral, personality, and specialized) and environmental (media, sports-medical facilities, insurance and family) were divided.

Rehabilitation of injured professional athletes includes three structural, individual and environmental dimensions. The structural dimension includes the organizational factors of the club, fans, management, teammates and coaches, and follow-up on the health and well-being of the injured player, material and spiritual support for the injured athlete, club fans' and personal expectations from the injured athlete. Seen, the relationship with the fans and the theoretical and practical knowledge of the coach are important in working with the injured athlete. Individual factors include psychological, moral, personality and specialized components, and in this dimension, having motivation during treatment, emotional stability during treatment, moral orientation, social relations, being committed, paying attention to values, having patience and Patience during treatment, having sports literacy and practicing and correcting technique at the time of injury are important. Environmental factors include sports-therapeutic facilities, insurances, media and family, and the role of bodybuilders, coaches, psychologists, rehabilitation specialists, medical specialists and treatment staff, the quality of the training place, personal (having life-liability insurance), club (treatment), the level of family support and the level of family expectations are the most important things. It is suggested to hold appropriate training courses in this regard for the trainers of this field.

Massage therapy is widely used by athletes for various reasons such as recovery from fatigue, preventing injury, and relaxation. It is believed that massage improves the performance of the athletes by increasing their blood flow, removing lactic acid, and stimulating the nervous system. This review study aims to investigate the physiological and neurophysiological effects of sports massage on the athletes’ performance, to find out whether the clinical beliefs of sports physiotherapists about the effects of sports massage on sports injuries are supported by scientific evidence or not.

In this review study, a search was conducted in Google Scholar PubMed, and ScienceDirect databases on studies published in English from 1975 to 2020 using the keywords: Sports massage, sports injuries, physiological mechanisms, neurophysiological mechanisms, and performance of athletes. Fifty articles about the effects of sports massage were assessed for eligibility. Finally, 14 clinical trial studies and one case report study were included in the review.

Few studies have been conducted on the effect of sports massage on the athletes’ performance. The existing studies are heterogeneous, i.e., they have examined the effect of massage on different factors and reported contradictory results. It seems that the effects of sports massage on the athletes’ performance are more due to its psychological effects rather than its clinical effects. The effects of sports massage on athletes’ performance have not yet been supported by scientific evidence.

Many scholars consider that the effects of sports massage are due to increasing blood flow, but there is insufficient scientific evidence. In treatment of tendonitis and muscle strains, there is insufficient evidence that sports massage can reduce pain and accelerate healing. It seems the therapeutic effects of sport massage are more psychological and less physiological.

 Considering the negative consequences that sports injuries can bring to the athlete, team, and healthcare system, strategies should be sought to prevent them from occurring. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the total quality of recovery and training load with sports injuries in adolescent soccer players.

 The present study is prospective. Our study sample consisted of 100 male soccer players with an age range of 16 to 21 years, who were selected in Sanandaj city after receiving the ethics code during 2018-2019. One hundred young soccer players aged 16 to 21 years old who participated in the study that was recruited from three clubs. The total quality of recovery scale was used to assess the soccer players' quality of recovery. Training intensity was also recorded immediately (approximately 30 minutes) after the competition or training session using the ratings of the perceived exertion scale. To calculate the total training load, the training time was multiplied by the ratings of perceived exertion per minute. Independent t-test, GEE, and ROC curve were used to analyze the data.

 The results of the study showed that there is a significant relationship between the total quality of recovery and training load with sports injuries in adolescent soccer players (P<0.05). The findings of the present study showed that for every unit decrease in the overall quality of recovery, the risk of sports injuries increases by 10%, and for every 100 units increase in the total training load, the risk of sports injuries increases by 3%.

 The results of the present study indicate the importance of frequent monitoring of the recovery process and training load to minimize the risk of injury to young soccer players.

 Sports accidents during sports operations constitute a major part of sports-related damages and in this respect, explaining the rules of civil liability and identifying the responsible parties for the accident in order to support the victims and compensate for the damages is very important. In this article, the basics of civil liability caused by sports accidents during sports operations were discussed.

 This research is a theoretical research in terms of type and also it has been carried out in a descriptive-analytical way using the method of legal discussion (logical-argumentative).

Ethical Considerations: 

In the present research, the ethical aspects of library study, including the authenticity of texts, honesty and trustworthiness, have been observed.

 The results of the investigation showed that the direct responsibility of athletes and other perpetrators of harmful acts during sports operations are basically based on fault and the detection of fault is also based on the rules of each field and regulations, contracts, domestic and international standards and professional custom. However, in cases such as responsibility caused by another act in sports accidents, due to the controlling and supervisory position of individuals (managers, coaches and sports officials), the basis of liability is the assumption of fault; in such a way that a person must prove compliance with all aspects of caution and legal duties to be acquitted of responsibility.

 In general, it is not possible to determine an absolute basis for civil liability arising from sports accidents, because different components such as the nature of sports practice, the position of a person in sports operations and the contractual or non-contractual basis of responsibility, can be effective in the analysis of the basis of responsibility and especially the task of proving fault or non-fault.

As with other occupations, mistakes and unsafe behaviors are among the major causes of accidents in sports. Given the harmful consequences of sport accidents, it is essential to identify ways to control and reduce these unsafe practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a strategy to prevent the effects of unsafe practices on the occurrence of sports accidents in sports environments.

The research was fundamental in terms of purpose and qualitative data were collected using grounded theory using a Glaser approach. The study was conducted among 20 experts in the fields of safety, occupational medicine, psychology, sports injuries, and sports management in 2020. The participants were selected to attend in-depth unstructured interviews purposefully based on the snowball method. Data were analyzed simultaneously using a set of open, selective, and theoretical coding.

The results indicated that the four factors of individual, organization, job knowledge, and the relationship between individual and organization were the main causes of human error in the occurrence of sports accidents. The individual and organizational variables (as process variables) and job knowledge as well as the relationship between the individual and the organizational factors as developmental and auxiliary variables played teh major role in this field.

According to the causes of sport accidents, improving the personal attitude and performance, improving the organizational structure, continuous learning and training of job knowledge, as well as improving and strengthening the positive relationship between the individual and the organization can reduce the risk and promote safety. However, lack of  paying attention to these factors disrupts immunity.

Competitive diving has both a high speed impact and chronic repetitive character. Jumping from the springboard with poor posture or the sheer volume of dives can increase risk of chronic overuse injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between dynamic lower extremity malalignments and elite divers' approach the 1 m springboard.

Passive or reflective markers were attached to posterior surface of the subjects' bodies. Twelve elite divers performed "Forward Diving Straight" with one of the Traditional (TRD) or Hurdle pre-flight (HPF) approach on the 1m springboard. Their dynamic malalignments of ankle, knee and hip were evaluated during diving performance. The relationship between approach pattern and dynamic malalignment of ankle, knee, and hip in the frontal plane at each step was determined using “Generalized Estimating Equation” (GEE) with the “Identity Function” and the “Normal Distribution”.

The results of GEE modeling showed that the mean dynamic joints malalignments were significantly higher on HPF than TRD group.

The postural alignment of lower extremity is affected by the approach pattern. The malalignment of the hip, knee, and especially ankle have substantial interest as potential risk factors for lower extremity injuries. Trainers and coaches are advised to planning for “dynamic postural stability” and “corrective exercises” after recognizing critical points in divers’ performance.
