Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Health in partial compliance with the requirements for the Masters Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, at the Durban University Of Technology, 2008. / Objectives: To determine a profile of soccer injuries prevalent in amateur Indoor and Outdoor soccer players in the greater Durban areas. Methods: This study used the Outdoor Supersport corporate league and the Kwa-Zulu Natal (KZN) Indoor soccer league. A total of 103 out of a possible 147 players participated in the study which included 41 Outdoor and 62 Indoor players. The Indoor soccer players were contacted to complete the questionnaire at their match days at the Gale street Indoor soccer arena and the Outdoor players were contacted during their training sessions and/or match days. The researcher was present to answer any questions posed by the participants. In the case of participants having difficulty in understanding English, a bilingual Zulu translator accompanied the researcher in every interaction with the participants. Results: Out of a total of 103 participants, the foot/ankle (62.1%) was the most frequently injured site. This was followed closely by the knee (55.3%). The rest of the sites in descending order were wrist, back, head, elbow, shoulder, chest, genital and abdomen. All participants reported a first injury, 69 participants reported a second injury and 27 participants reported a third injury. Outdoor soccer players reported the knee as being the most affected area, while Indoor soccer players injured the foot/ankle frequently. Furthermore, age was stated as a significant positive correlation when compared with number of sessions missed, meaning the older the participants, the more sessions they missed. The findings suggest that the use of protective equipment can decrease injury rates due to the use of ankle guards decreasing missed sessions. Conclusion: The profile of soccer injuries in selected amateur league Indoor and Outdoor soccer players in the greater Durban area has been described in this study. In terms of number of injuries, there seems to be no significant differences iv between Indoor and Outdoor soccer players. With regard to site of injuries, the lower limb was affected more than any other body part. The Outdoor players showed more knee injuries than the Indoor players who showed higher incidences of foot/ankle injuries.

Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the MTech: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, 2011. / Background: In terms of kicking speed the instep kicking technique is the most effective and commonly used method. Immobilization or restricted motion within a joint segment, results in adverse changes in the surrounding ligaments, tendons and muscular tissue. To improve joint mobility and thus improving flexibility, this study focused on spinal manipulation. Objectives: The main purpose of this study was to determine the immediate effectiveness of lumbar spine and sacroiliac manipulation on the range of motion (ROM) of the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints as well as the kicking speed of the subjects. Methods: Forty asymptomatic soccer players, playing for the regional Premier League team or higher, were divided into four groups of 10 each. Group 1 received lumbar spine manipulation, Group 2 received sacroiliac (SI) joint manipulation, Group 3 received combined lumbar spine and SI joint manipulation and Group 4 received the sham laser intervention (placebo/control). Pre and post warm-up and post intervention lumbar and SI joint ROM were measured using a digital inclinometer. Kicking speed was measured post warm-up and post intervention with a Speed Trac™ Speed Sport Radar. The subjects’ perception of a change in kicking speed post intervention was also recorded. SPSS version 15.0 was used to analyse the data. Results: Pre and post outcome measurements were compared using a p value of < 0.05 to indicate statistical significance. Statistically significant ROM increases were noticed in left and right lumbar rotation motions post lumbar manipulative intervention. Lumbar extension, left and right lumbar rotation and SI joint extension ROM increased post combination of lumbar spine and SI joint manipulation. There VI was a significant increase in kicking speed post intervention for all three manipulative intervention groups. A significant correlation was seen between subjects’ perception of change in kicking speed post intervention and the objective results obtained. Conclusions: Lumbar spine and SI joint manipulation is an effective intervention for short-term increase in kicking speed.
