powerbalanceEs quite possible that within a few years the phenomenon of the bracelets ‘power balance’ is studied in schools of marketing. Making reappear credulity and faith in a society that has made its official religion skepticism has merit. Especially if you get with it sales figures that would make the envy of any multinational. The bracelets are exhausted just hit the stores and the number of reserve units far exceeds that go to market. Although the importer is unwilling to provide data about its sales in Spain, a figure crossing venture that would allow about 100,000 units in the best days. A great business if you consider that each bracelet worth 35 euros.

They carry all. From the Duchess of Alba to Guti through actresses, TV presenters or pilots of the F-1 and Rubens Barrichello. No person who resists wear his bracelet on his wrist ‘power balance’. The bracelet was first into fashion last year, although its definitive consolidation as a social phenomenon occurred last Christmas, when he became the most sought out and present customers bought them in pairs. “We had never seen anything like it, they brought us lots of a hundred bracelets and two or three hours they had sold all of us”, says Tito Moro, who owns a surf shop in San Sebastian.

It was precisely in the circuit of professional surfing, where the sale took his first steps. “The first saw a year ago at a trade show in San Diego and even though we noticed as the months passed we realized that all the surfers of the circuit and the kids were starting to ask for her” says Moro. Ivan Hernandez, the importer who has been coordinating the distribution of Marbella in Spain bracelets, confirms that professional sports sliding pioneered the use of the bracelet because “substantially improved its balance.”

Balance is the watchword of the bracelet. The twenty-first century adaptation of ancient amulet trade scheme sets aside arguments about miraculous healings and replaced by concepts of ’scientific’ less committed. Its website says that the sale “is a frequency stored in a hologram that restores your body’s electromagnetic balance isolating each living cell of the external factors that prevent it from functioning at 100% of its possibilities.”

‘Trickery’
The bracelet is actually a rubber ring which incorporates two holograms as may appear on any credit card. The more successful model is made of silicone but there are other neoprene. Add the advertising that ” ‘power balance’ does not contain any source of energy by itself” and are “bio-electric energy from each of which carry the quantum hologram, tuning into the bio-field and harmonizing your inner chi ‘.

From the Society for the Advancement of Creative Thinking, the Valencian physician Esther Samper denies a speech which he calls “claptrap” and asserts that the bracelets’ can not have any effect because they are composed of inert materials that do not affect people at all ‘. Samper added that manufacturers “have been limited to modernize the old argument with holograms of electromagnetism, pure trickery from a scientific standpoint.

So rather than categorical or Samper, the discloser and scientific adviser Félix Ares attributes the success to “the powerful effect of suggestion” and recalls that a U.S. judge sentenced in 2006 to the distributor of a magnetic bracelet to repay the money 100,000 buyers paid for misleading advertising. The judge argued that the alleged properties of the bracelet, a ring of metal finished in two small areas that became very popular, “are more fiction than science.”

The strength of the arguments does not discourages their advocates. “The most eloquent proof that something does is it sells more than we can supply only through word of mouth,” says the dealer José Luis Gómez. The bracelet has exceeded supply and sporting fields and in pharmacies. The buyer profile has been extended to older persons.

Whether or not therapeutic effects, the reservations list expands every day and all the lots that they have now been sold until March. In addition, pirated copies have begun to sprout like mushrooms, but importers say the original bracelets are not the same because their holograms’ have not been activated. It seems that the twenty-first century charm still has here to stay.

The coordinator of the work that has just been published in Frontiers in Bioscience, José Martínez-González, said: “The results should be viewed as an important wake-up call about the possible effects of prolonged and uncontrolled consumption of slimming compounds studied, as the main form to lose weight. Although not yet proven its action in humans, trans CLA isomers cause havoc in the liver of mice.

The study, conducted in collaboration with the Aragon Institute of Health Sciences in Zaragoza, describes that the liver damage observed in rodents is associated with significant alterations in the expression of genes responsible for the regulation of glucose uptake and lipids by the liver cells.

Conjugated linoleic acid is found in vegetable oils and especially in meat and milk from ruminant animals. In recent years, properties have been ascribed to the reduction of cholesterol and fat in the body, thereby encouraging weight loss. Under this premise, it has been enhanced as enriching component of slimming products.

So far, the CLA has been associated with positive effects on human health, since some studies have shown its potential anticancer, cardioprotective properties and their potential usefulness in controlling weight. However, in recent years has been raised that not all isomers are equally beneficial. There are both cis isomers (c9, t11-CLA), the most abundant in nature, such as trans isomers (t10, c12-CLA). Recent scientific studies suggest that the trans could seriously damage health.

Rigorous labeling

The study authors recommend that indicates the type of isomer present in commercial preparations. One of the aims of the food industry goes through a scientifically compare nutrition label to ensure the reliability of consumer advertising of these foods.

The investigation also brought together researchers from the Thematic Network of Cooperative Research in Cardiovascular Diseases and Biomedical Research Center in Red-Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition.

The Red Bull contains a good amount of caffeine. The question is, will improve our performance? A group of researchers conducted a test in the United States. They took twelve riders, six men and six women, and given 500 ml. Red Bull (ED, 2.0 g of taurine, glucuronolactone 1.2 g, 160 mg caffeine, 54 g carbohydrate, 40 mg niacin, pantothenic acid 10 mg, 10 mg of vitamin B6, and 10 micrograms of vitamin B12) or placebo 40 minutes before performing a cycling endurance test, which was to cover a distance equivalent to one hour of cycling at 70%.

The performance of cyclists with Red Bull was higher than that of the cyclists who had ingested a placebo. However, both the “spread” with Red Bull as a placebo had the same “perceived exertion” or perception of having made the same effort when it would normally have done better times who had the sense of having done more exercise . Meanwhile, endorphin levels were slightly higher among those who took Red Bull. The results show that consuming an energy drink before exercise can improve performance. This improvement is due to a larger effort in the muscles of someone who has taken the energy drink, but in turn this person is not perceived to have increased their levels of effort and dedication to improve their record or performance.

And your “cons”?

Usually and erroneously used to enhance physical activity and brain after consuming alcoholic beverages, initially his main goal was that giving the soldiers who fought in Vietnam, but has been marketed as a refreshing and stimulating. Such beverages may be counterproductive if mixed with alcohol and certain prescription drugs such as enalapril, captopril, which are for hypertension. And for diabetics used mainly to make a fusion of the drink with these drugs or inhibitors of the nervous system being able to produce collapse.

The prestigious web Consumer.es warning of the dangers of these drinks when mixed with alcohol. “Some cardiologists are warning that energy drinks, containing caffeine concentrations much higher than usual, can cause insomnia, nervousness, and anxiety, and are contraindicated for pregnant women. In people sensitive to that stimulant can make changes in heart rate and blood pressure. They note that an excess of taurine, another exciting that abounds in these beverages can lead to the emergence of arrhythmias or tachycardias. Moreover, it should be noted that the individual who abuses the combined intake of alcohol and stimulant drinks may not be aware of their condition ethyl and therefore believed suitable to undertake tasks for which it is prepared, as driving. “

And is that the feat might not reside in the how but on the how. In menecesitas.com already discussed the issue of race as less harmful to your body in our report on the footprints or Chii Running. From the outset, the Tarahumara were not wearing shoes, but running barefoot or in sandals. Although you have purchased a shoe according to your type of ride, never fits like a glove to your foot. Conversely, if you run without shoes your foot will get used to twisting, prepare, rotate, or adjust according to what prompted the ground and every step.

Now when we reach the point at which a competitive runner may be disappointed. The Tarahumara were never great runners, but great athletes. They had a great run elasticity because besides also played a sport similar to football and climbing hills. Not for pleasure, but the fact of having to do in their daily lives. In your case, you can get a balanced self-propelled working your lower torso, abdominals and lower back in the gym.

The slopes are speed workouts in disguise. Every three or four days, spend fifteen minutes to climb a hill at a good pace. Soon see that running barefoot (although given the state of the streets this is a utopia, but try in a sports club or a running track), strengthening your legs so that the muscle is the last to realize he’s running and climbing slopes strengthen your joints and you become less prone to injury.

Sprains, plantar fasciitis, muscle overload in the Achilles tendon, calves and lower back injuries are among the most frequent abnormalities in the way of treading.

It is advisable to have a correct advice because each shoe is designed to practice a particular sport, and within each discipline may be variations depending on the surface on which it is practiced. “A very obvious case is the difference between football boots to play on artificial turf and natural grass. Nor should we use a concrete shoe for practicing a sport other, how to use running shoes to play tennis, for example, “said Carlos Diez, chief of Medical Services Sanitas – Real Madrid.

Another key factor is the buffer vital that joints do not suffer when any athletic activity. Each brand uses a different model shoes air chamber, so we have to prove which is most suitable for our characteristics. In addition, we must look at the picture of the sole for the terrain and the sport to be practiced.

In the case of templates, their use is indicated in all athletes who have an abnormality in the way they tread. Instead, you should do a proper study of gait and design and build a custom template. There are many diseases that may be related to abnormalities in the way of stepping, such as sprains repetition, plantar fasciitis, heel spur, muscle overload in the Achilles tendon in the calf or lower back, among others.

We must not forget either that the number of shoes should be the correct choice, barely touching the tip of your finger. Furthermore, it should be noted that to facilitate the coupling foot-footwear is advisable not to premiere the day of the competition or race we are going to do.

According to experts from Real Madrid, there are other recommendations to be taken into account:
- The lifetime of athletic footwear ranges between 800 and 1,500 kilometers.
- If we support the foot well the part that should wear the backyard.
- If the shoe is of good quality, the sole tends to come loose.
- It is important to prevent the hardening of the material, as this causes loss of shock absorption.
- Avoid saving the footwear in places with high temperature.
- The shoe should be saved with untied laces and baby powder inside.

Custom Templates

Technology advances also in the field of athletic footwear. One of these major segments is the care and treatment of the templates. A fact they know very well at Real Madrid. All football players and basketball club have undergone complete biomechanical studies to obtain their own custom templates. Having examined the form of stepping on each athlete, the company has digitized 3D player’s foot robotic and constructed a template customized to the mold of every sports shoes.

The fact that the soil in which treads the athlete is fully customized increases the stability, decreasing the lateral oscillations (which can cause lesions in the lateral structures of the ankle and knee) and greatly reduce muscle tension generated in the plantar fascia.

In the case of young players from the quarry is particularly important biomechanical study. The future promises of football and basketball are in growth stage, so it is advisable to repeat this survey every year to get a new 3D mold of the athlete foot if necessary.

agujetasLa most of the population that has made exercise at the amateur level in high performance even suffered what is commonly called “soreness.” But what are they?, “Lactic acid crystallized as some say?. Do not be fooled.

The “braid”, also called DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle soreness) or DMT (delayed muscle pain) are sore muscles that appear just hours after completing the exercise and reach a peak of pain between 24 and 48 hours later. These pains are due to overuse that involves eccentric activity type preference (when the muscle lengthens) in subjects not accustomed to it. Usually the pains are located in areas where the muscle has been stretched more and more stress endured during contraction, causing destruction microstructural level muscle (muscle tissue).

How can we prevent or remedy?
There are several options for these pains not to appear or be reduced. Forget the sugar water.

If we have not begun training, it is best to respect the principle of progression of the load, which depends on the initial force level of each subject, from there we will increase the financial burden usually from week to week. Along with this principle, will be essential to stretch the muscles worked at both the beginning and end of the activity, but eye!, Not in excess, which may be worse.
If the damage is already done, which is normal, we will focus on these three tips:

1. Cold application with massage to the affected area

2. Intake of analgesics (aspirin) and vitamin C (attacks oxidants)

3. Realization of moderate exercise (thanks to the endorphins gives us pleasure and brings our attention to other less affected musculature)

In this first study will involve the “dislocated shoulder, one of the most serious injuries and unfortunately typical of that joint.

A) GENERAL CONCEPTS ABOUT THE SHOULDER

The shoulder is formed from the combination of two main anatomical elements: the humerus and scapula bone, also known as the scapula or shoulder commonly called. Also articulate with the clavicle. We recognize three distinct parts:

1) Articulation scapula – shoulder.
2) acromioclavicular – clavicular.
3) Articulation esterno – clavicular

The humeral head articulates with the scapula area (Glen), which takes a form accommodated to the rounded surface of the bone in question. At the head of the humerus be larger than the area in which it articulates with the scapula, requires a support structure to ensure stability comprising an annulus, muscles and ligaments.

A.1) peculiarities of man

• Its unique composition gives it great mobility, allowing thus the implementation of movement in any plane.

• The area indicating considerable laxity of both the joint capsule and ligaments of the lining.

• The area of the joint capsule, ligamentous structures reinforced, an area left between “fragile”, enabling the output of the humeral head.

B) DEFINITION OF SHOULDER DISLOCATION

The injury involves the passage of the humeral head from its traditional location is the fossa within the joint capsule (dislocated scapula – humeral). When this shift is partial, that is not entirely out of the joint capsule, we speak of a subluxation.

C) HOW TO PRODUCE

Can occur by three ways:

1) Direct Mechanism

It is unusual to occur as a result of direct trauma to the back of the joint, thereby driving the humeral head against the anterior joint capsule, causing tearing and then descoaptación of the joint. This lesion often appears for reasons such as traffic accidents or in sports, in collisions of handball or rugby players, against another player or the ground.

2) indirect mechanism

It is the most common cause. The dislocation occurs, when the arm in abduction and external rotation especially when the humeral head is in intimate contact with the underside of the joint capsule. A graphic example is a fall in which we support the hand on the floor, his arm stretched separately.

3) wear

It happens rarely, but it may a repetitive and frequent dislocation triggered by weakening of the area, although it is considered a risk factor more than a cause.

Anterior dislocation is more common than later because the reinforcements at the back are bigger.

D) POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS

This injury usually accompanied by other damage associated complicating it and go on to enumerate:
1) Fracture of bone

It is relatively common fracture or tear in the following areas:

- Greater tubercle.

- Neck of the humerus.

- In the scapula.

2) Rupture of the rotator cuff, with the risk of the supraspinatus tendon.

3) Nerve

Along with the dislocation is often associated with axillary nerve compression. This complication occurs more frequently if the reduction is not practiced properly, can cause a significant loss of function by affecting mainly the shoulder deltoid muscle, instrumental in the movement of the shoulder.

To confirm this diagnosis is used electromyography.

4) Vascular lesions

It is unusual. There is, as in the previous case, the compression to move the humeral head. As in the previous case by a compression to move the humeral head.

This lesion has a recognizable symptoms: The member becomes pale, the area appears cool to the touch and, by taking the radial pulse at the wrist does not feel at all.

5) Recurrence of the lesion

When the capsule is damaged, subsequently regenerated tissues become more lax, contributing to a higher risk of injury to pre-existing injury.

The risk of recurrence or relapse is reduced over time to go consolidating regenerated tissues.

E) SYMPTOMS

The dislocated shoulder is usually the following symptoms:

1) Pain high instantaneous intensity as the injury occurs. The acute nature of this pain, prevents any movement of the joint and is mitigated only to hold the arm in a position where the shoulder area is not under load, ie the weight of the extremity seek joint efforts.

2) The appearance of the shoulder varies, losing its usual continuity, going to present a discontinuity in the area. You receive a lump above the surface of generally rounded shape which is commonly called “shoulder epaulet. If the dislocation is later, the changes are less clear and may even go unnoticed at first glance.

3) If there is associated nerve injury, a series of tingling, loss of strength and even a condition in skin sensitivity characteristic of this type of damage.

F) DIAGNOSIS

1) Physical examination: This is the most easy and reliable.

2) Radiography help confirm the diagnosis and rule out or corroborate related bone lesions. Posterior dislocations is not fully appreciated by this test.

3) CT / MRI: It is useful to assess posterior dislocation and, in cases with suspected muscle injury, tendon or nerve related.

G) TREATMENT:

1) From the moment that the dislocation occurs

a) Apply ice to numb the area and reduce pain.

b) Place the joint in a comfortable, and antalgic position, ie without pain.

c) Place the shoulder in place, by a physician or medical personnel with experience. The earlier the better replace it with the passage of time is a frequent appearance of muscle contractions that make it difficult and painful reduction.

d) post-reduction radiograph to ensure correct positioning of the shoulder.

e) immobilization in a sling for 3 to 4 weeks.

f) If the injury occurs frequently will require surgery.

2) Physiotherapy

Despite the necessary restraint in the area, the joint can perform certain movements with caution especially in rotations, allowing the following treatments:

a) Massage: We will help relax the area to avoid contractures.

b) Enhancement Muscle By using exercises or electrostimulation.

An estimated time of 40 – 45 days to return the activity.

3) Prevention

It is considered especially important after suffering the first dislocation in the joint.

The preventive work to prevent relapse is divided into:

a) Recovery of complete mobility.

b) proprioceptive job: A job properly proprioception help avoid situations where there is risk of dislocation.

c) Reinforcement of the muscular structures: Exercises such as push-ups with arms in different positions, work for the rotator with theraband, strengthening exercises in risk positions, are highly recommended.

4) Surgery

There are different techniques for different dislocations. The objective is to stabilize the joint all: tightening the capsule, changing the position of the edge of the glen, etc ….

It is recommended on some cases of anterior dislocation. In the case of posterior dislocations, being the much lower probability of recurrence, is generally not a common practice.

This part of treatment, especially surgery, has a myriad of varieties depending on the type of injury and personal circumstances so I invite people who have suffered this injury and has undergone surgery, to discuss their doubts and type of surgery used in each case.

In the next article will discuss the tendon and muscle injuries most common shoulder joint. A greeting.

This type of races have a high degree of demand, so what is restricted to people with proper preparation and with a physical capacity above average. On this basis, the lesions will be discussed specific to this type of profile with that level of demand and will attempt a number of councils trying to avoid.

A) SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE TEST

1) High level of physical requirement: discussed above. It is not advisable to practice this kind of expertise to people without specific training, otherwise the possibility of any type of injury is high.

2) Lots of strong irregular surfaces of forest roads are often rocky, introducing cracks in areas, mud and other irregularities that prevent tread firmly.

3) Desniveles pronounced: The continuous ups and downs that have to bear joint and lower body muscles, can cause all kinds of injuries.

4) Dehydration: The replacement of fluids and salts in this type of evidence must be watched constantly by the athlete.

B) MOST COMMON INJURIES

B.1) Sprains

One of the most common injuries in all sports, is caused by stretching of the ligamentous structures, classified into different grades depending on its intensity depends on the amount of ligament fibers affected by the injury.

The hardest hit area is usually the ankle, because it must be constantly working to rebalance the body and keep it straight. Furthermore, this joint cushioning the impact on the ground that it is not always as strong and regular than it should, preventing a proper drive.

B.1.1) Prevention:

1) The ankles should be well protected, especially if you have had previous sprains, so what should bandage the area.

2) The shoes should provide adequate cushioning.

3) Conduct proprioception exercises: Working the balance, beginning with simple exercises and then increase the complexity.

4) Reinforcement of the legs: in particular the tibial and peroneal muscles.

5) Work running technique: To make the ride or support the most appropriate way possible.

B.1.2) Treatment:

1) Cryotherapy (ice), 15 minutes every 2-3 hours nothing happen.

2) contrast baths: A combination of hot and cold water, 3 minutes series of hot and cold water 1.

3) Dressing: To control swelling and protect the joint.

4) Physiotherapy: massage, Cyriax, ultrasound, mobilizations.

B.2) Cramps

It presents as involuntary muscle contraction, intense and painful affects several groups of muscle fibers. Its duration is usually not prolonged, and its most common example that affects the calf area, popularly known as “jump on the ball.”

B.2.1) Prevention:

1) Adequate preparation, confers the right tone to largely avoid such problems.

2) Proper hydration during exercise and drink prepared with salts after practice exercise.

3) Visiting a physiotherapist at least 1 time every 15 days if you train intensely and continuously.

B.2.2) Treatment:

1) Cesar activity immediately.

2) Stretch the affected area.

3) Intake of fluids and salts.

4) Relaxation Massage.

B.3) Contractures

It is a type of muscle injury caused due to excessive tension of the muscle fibers as a result of a sustained contraction of a group of fibers.

B.3.1) Prevention:

1) Warm up properly.

2) Use creams for muscle heat effect before the test.

3) Stretching properly.

4) adequate hydration, with input from appropriate salts to maintain the electrolyte.

B.3.2) Treatment:

1) Heat to reduce muscle spasm.

2) mild stretching.

B.4) tendonitis

It is an inflammation of the lining of the tendon sheath, caused by overuse of the structure. Please note that due to the constant pounding against the ground in a sloping down, the quadriceps muscles (working eccentrically) are over-stimulated in excess and the knee joint has to withstand a collision with the ground very hard. That is why the whole joint, ligaments and tendons that are around him, must be very strong to bear all the burden. Otherwise, would inflame the tendon with disastrous consequences for the corridor.

Also becoming common problems in the Achilles’ heel.

B.4.1) Prevention:

1) Similar to techniques used in contractures (heating and stretching, heat application, and electrolyte balance).

2) The influences running technique to avoid unnecessary burden.

3) If we are conscious of a weakening of the structure should apply ice to the area after exercise.

4) Work to strengthen muscles, particularly quadriceps, hamstrings, gastrocnemius and soleus.

B.4.2) Treatment:

1) Anti-inflammatories.

2) Sleep.

3) Cryotherapy.

4) Physiotherapy.

B.5) Periostitis:

Inflammation of the periosteum, a layer covering the bone. The area most affected in this type of evidence is the tibia.

B.5.1) Prevention:

1) Make right and progressively workloads.

2) adequate preparation effort as demanding as a marathon.

B.5.2) Treatment:

1) Apply a cold, make a pressure bandage and rest.

2) To stretch the affected area.

B.6) Foot Problems:

There is a touch both with the socks and sneakers. When it comes to excessive skin damage and may cause injury in the same

B.6.1) Prevention:

1) Use proper footwear, comfortable but to let the foot “dancing” inside. It is right that about an inch on the toe when the foot rest. If set over the toes and nails will suffer severe damage.

2) Type of footwear appropriate to the ground: floor of relief more pronounced, more stable and durable midsole with good reinforcement and textile cutting tougher. This foot will be better protected.

3) The sock should not show wrinkles and once set, should perspire properly.

4) using petroleum jelly: it keeps the area moist and to some extent prevents chafing.

5) Grooming and Care of toenails as a standard for training and competition.

B.6.2) Treatment:

1) Clean the area with peroxide or serum. Subsequently disinfected with iodine or betadine to prevent possible infection.

2) Use of second skin, keep the area enlarge, and avoids friction.

3) Visiting a podiatrist to assess the injury if not improved.

B.7) Contusion:

Caused by all types of falls, bumps against rocks or trees, brushes with bushes or branches, etc ….

B.7.1) Prevention:

1) Focusing on the activity performed and the environment in which it develops.

2) Common sense.

B.7.2) Treatment:

1) Apply ice for the first 48-72 hours.

2) After that time and prescription can be taken inflammatory or controlled massage specialists.

3) disinfection of wounds.

B.8) Heat stroke:

It is the effect that if the body is unable to remove the heat produced by the body, raising the temperature to 40 degrees. There are a number of symptoms such as: flushed face, headache, feeling of fatigue and intense thirst, nausea and vomiting and excessive sweating.

B.8.1) Prevention:

1) Use clothing should be breathable (better to dark colored). A fit and proper equipment to sudden temperature changes.

2) Keep a bottle cages or fanny pack with a liquid to continuously hydrate, re-provisioning in addition to put to use. Drinking before the onset of thirst.

3) Using sunscreen, hat and glasses for protection from the sun.

B.8.2) Treatment:

1) When symptoms of dizziness and fainting, it is recommended to the affected person lie down in a cool place indoors.

2) In severe cases, and if the patient is willing, can be given to promote rehydration drinks.

3) Use cold packs to cool the area.

4) It should improve blood flow for which the individual is lying on the ground in the shade and the legs are raised while massaging action is performed on them to increase blood return.

5) Loosen clothing and once retrieved can hydrate.

B.9) Altitude Sickness:

Lack of oxygen in the body due to complete ascents to speed faster than normal, at considerable heights (middle and high mountain).

B.9.1) Prevention:

1) proper acclimatization to the altitude, respecting periods of residence and trying to sleep at altitude.

B.9.2) Treatment:

1) To descend to a lower altitude.

2) No physical effort until the body adapts.

These are some of the most common dangers and reviews. Following preventive measures, we can enjoy a beautiful mountain race, thereby avoiding an unexpected shock. Good luck to all participants and enjoy the mountain and remember if the forces waver a good climber never flinches, simply turn around and keep going. A greeting.

1) WHAT IS pubalgia?

The footballer’s groin strain, also known as enthesitis symphysis pubis or osteopathy dynamics, amongst others, is a chronic inflammation of the muscle attachments of the pubis, manifesting through an outbreak of pain in the groin area known colloquially and may be associated with visceral impact in the bladder, intestines, stomach, etc …. This injury is considered an “occupational disease”, ie as secretaries Quervain’s syndrome sufferers (tendinosis which is related to the first two fingers), epicondylitis tennis players, to give some examples. The football players because of the consistent performance of the abdominals and adductors, abductors not mistaken, America has the leg inward (toward the midline of the body), and the latter is carried out and are located in the lateral ( buttocks, etc..), the release mechanism or kicking, develop chronic inflammation in the area resulting in an early stage before the effort and pain, with increasing also at rest.

2) Causes

2.1) The imbalance between the adductors and abdominal muscles. 2.2) The excessive or no mobility of the pubic symphysis and the adductors and abdominal overload situations output and braking, lateral displacements and launches the ball with the foot. The symphysis pubis refers to the bone structure on which those muscles are inserted. 2.3) factors inherent in repeated or extreme sports: This is an excessive number of matches, changing playing surfaces (wet, dry, hard to soft), poor recovery or physical preparation resulting in a maladaptive acceleration or extension of the lesion. 2.4) A sharp fall on the feet, reception forces on the ground can be uneven, a pubic ramus may rise more than the other resulting in an imbalance of the pubis with stretching of the ligamentous structures. 2.5) Loss of support on the ground or a thwarted by an opposition motion on the leg can cause a sudden tension of the adductors. This stress can damage the ligaments and muscle attachments that are made in the pubic bone.

3) CLASSIFICATION
3.1) Pubalgia Added: When inflamed rectus abdominis muscles. The pain is a problem in the abdominal muscles. 3.2) Pubalgia low when the damage is located at the level of the adductor muscles (there are three: major, medium and low). In most cases, is the median adductor. 3.3) Joint Pubalgia When linked both muscle groups.

4) HOW TO AVOID YOUR APPEARANCE

4.1) Perform special session of flexibility, maintenance of the same during training and an elongation at the end of training: a) heating: It calls for active work of the muscles, exercises that resemble sports practice, controlling movement at all times. An example in the gym would be to use the machine that is often used to strengthen the abductors and adductors. In the field we could simulate the movement without resistance or with the help of a partner to offer resistance. b) In the cool-down: We will work with passive stretching, or assisted. 4.2) Using the isometric work (explained in a later section). 4.3) Dosage of charges according to the working group. 4.4) Strengthening the hip stabilizing musculature. 4.5) Working compensatory muscle strengthening: a) abductors. b) adductors. c) Abdominal: both upper and lower and obliques.

5) TREATMENT pubalgia

This type of treatment, aims to recover to muscle elongation in the area and strengthen your tendons and insert points. Since classical flexibility exercises only sterile by causing concentric muscle reaction.

There are several methods, in many cases complementary to treat this type of injury:

5.1) Physiotherapy

a) electrostimulation.

b) Ultrasound.

c) Laser: It has anti-inflammatory action.

d) If having made a serious and intensive physiotherapy, we get a response after 3 months, will be used for surgical treatment.

5.2) Osteopathy

a) mobilizations of pubis, lumbar spine, iliac, lower extremity

5.3) Manual therapy

a) Different massage techniques and drainage.

5.4) anti-inflammatories – infiltration

a) Do not abuse them.

5.5) Surgical

Was used only in cases of extreme aggravation of the injury which in any case, it should never have reached this milestone with appropriate preventive work. This resource, even if fully justified and serves to reinforce the pubis, but does not address the causes.

Persistent excessive forces in the circuits can lead to muscle other injuries that are described below:
