Safety In Sport-Related Concussions

In any sprinting event, there is a definite need to have a fresh start. Safety in sports is a vital issue not only in football, but also in every sport. Concussions are amongst the numerous neurological injuries which might occur during football. SRC (sport-related concussions) can arise alone or in an amalgamate mix with brachial plexus or cervical spine injuries. In the US, estimates of 300,000 sport-related concussions are reported annually. Research has shown that football is the most frequently affected sport with 47% of players injured. It has been determined that retired players greatly suffer from Alzheimer syndrome than any other group. This essay attempts to determine the safest start position among the 3 different sprint start positions, namely a 4-point position, a 3-point position, and a 2-point position, via comparing their relevant biomechanical
Furthermore, a 4-point starting position entails beginning in the squat position with one’s front knee over as well as all two hands on the start line. The back knee is placed in the field next to one’s front ankle. The 3-point starting positions are similar to a 4-point start, except that only one arm is put on the ground. While in 2-point starting position, there is no arm is on the ground. According to the study, head redress is often delayed whenever adopting a 4-point starting position, thus, resulting to a reduced FOV (field of vision) all through the start, as well as increasing the likelihood of collision. Also, in the 4-point starting position, this appears as being the most dangerous as it results in greater kinetic energy as compared to 3-point as well as 2-point positions. Results proposed that a 4-point start position is of the utmost hazard for football players. However, a 4-point starting position is the largest used technique in almost every sport and players prefer it as compared to 3-point and 2-point starting
