Providing performance-enhancing benefits in addition to injury prevention may help adjust coaches and athletes' attitudes towards implementation of injury prevention into daily routine. Conventional thinking by players and coaches alike seems to suggest that IPPs need to be specific to one's sport to allow for performance enhancement. The systematic literature review aims to firstly determine the IPPs nature of exercises and whether they are specific to the sport or based on general conditioning. Secondly, can they demonstrate whether general, sports-specific or even mixed IPPs improve key performance indicators with the aim to better facilitate long-term implementation of these programs? Methods PubMed and Web of Science were electronically searched throughout March 2018. The inclusion criteria were randomized control trials, publication dates between Jan 2006 and Feb 2018, athletes (11-45 years), injury prevention programs and included predefined performance measures that could be categorized into balance, power, strength, speed/agility and endurance. The methodological quality of included articles was assessed with the Cochrane Collaboration assessment tools. Results Of 6619 initial findings, 22 studies met the inclusion criteria. In addition, reference lists unearthed a further 6 studies, making a total of 28. Nine studies used sports specific IPPs, eleven general and eight mixed prevention strategies. Overall, general programs ranged from 29-57\% in their effectiveness across performance outcomes. Mixed IPPs improved in 80\% balance outcomes but only 20-44\% in others. Sports-specific programs led to larger scale improvements in balance (66\%), power (83\%), strength (75\%), and speed/agility (62\%). Conclusion Sports-specific IPPs have the strongest influence on most performance indices based on the significant improvement versus control groups. Other factors such as intensity, technical execution and compliance should be accounted for in future investigations in addition to exercise modality.}, language = {en} } @article{MuellerEngelMuelleretal.2018, author = {Mueller, Steffen and Engel, Tilman and M{\"u}ller, Juliane and Stoll, Josefine and Baur, Heiner and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Sensorimotor exercises and enhanced trunk function}, series = {International journal of sports medicine}, volume = {39}, journal = {International journal of sports medicine}, number = {7}, publisher = {Thieme}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {0172-4622}, doi = {10.1055/a-0592-7286}, pages = {555 -- 563}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a 6-week sensorimotor or resistance training on maximum trunk strength and response to sudden, high-intensity loading in athletes.

It is characterized by high variability when comparing different steps in children. The objective of this study was to determine intra-individual gait speed variability in children. Methods: Gait speed measurements (6-10 trials across a 3 m walkway) were performed and analyzed in 8263 children, aged 1-15 years. The coefficient of variation (CV) served as a measure for intra-individual gait speed variability measured in 6.6 +/- 1.0 trials per child. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of age and body height on changes in variability. Additionally, a subgroup analysis for height within the group of 6-year-old children was applied. Results: A successive reduction in gait speed variability (CV) was observed for age groups (age: 1-15 years) and body height groups (height: 0.70-1.90 m). The CV in the oldest subjects was only one third of the CV (CV 6.25 +/- 3.52\%) in the youngest subjects (CV 16.58 +/- 10.01\%). Up to the age of 8 years (or 1.40 m height) there was a significant reduction in CV over time, compared to a leveling off for the older (taller) children. Discussion: The straightforward approach measuring gait speed variability in repeated trials might serve as a fundamental indicator for gait development in children. Walking velocity seems to increase to age 8. Enhanced gait speed consistency of repeated trials develops up to age 15.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ReschkeMuellerMuelleretal.2013, author = {Reschke, Antje and M{\"u}ller, Juliane and M{\"u}ller, Steffen and Engel, Tilman and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Three-dimensional spine kinematics during perturbed treadmill walking - a pilot study}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {45}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, number = {5}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {172 -- 172}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HainMuellerMuelleretal.2013, author = {Hain, Gerrit and M{\"u}ller, Juliane and M{\"u}ller, Steffen and Reschke, Antje and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Reliability of an in-vivo 3-segmental kinematic trunk model in a one-handed lifting task}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {45}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, number = {5}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {174 -- 174}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{MuellerCarlsohnMuelleretal.2012, author = {M{\"u}ller, Steffen and Carlsohn, Anja and M{\"u}ller, Juliane and Baur, Heiner and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Static and dynamic foot characteristics in children aged 1-13 years a cross-sectional study}, series = {Gait \& posture}, volume = {35}, journal = {Gait \& posture}, number = {3}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Clare}, issn = {0966-6362}, doi = {10.1016/j.gaitpost.2011.10.357}, pages = {389 -- 394}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The aim of this study was to acquire static and dynamic foot geometry and loading in childhood, and to establish data for age groups of a population of 1-13 year old infants and children. A total of 10,382 children were recruited and 7788 children (48\% males and 52\% females) were finally included into the data analysis. For static foot geometry foot length and foot width were quantified in a standing position. Dynamic foot geometry and loading were assessed during walking on a walkway with self selected speed (Novel Emed X, 100 Hz, 4 sensors/cm(2)). Contact area (CA), peak pressure (PP), force time integral (FTI) and the arch index were calculated for the total, fore-, mid- and hindfoot. Results show that most static and dynamic foot characteristics change continuously during growth and maturation. Static foot length and width increased with age from 13.1 +/- 0.8 cm (length) and 5.7 +/- 0.4 cm (width) in the youngest to 24.4 +/- 1.5 cm (length) and 8.9 +/- 0.6 cm (width) in the oldest. A mean walking velocity of 0.94 +/- 0.25 m/s was observed. Arch-index ranged from 0.32 +/- 0.04 [a.u.] in the one-year old to 0.21 +/- 0.13 [a.u.] in the 5-year olds and remains constant afterwards. This study provides data for static and dynamic foot characteristics in children based on a cohort of 7788 subjects. Static and dynamic foot measures change differently during growth and maturation. Dynamic foot measurements provide additional information about the children's foot compared to static measures.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{CarlsohnWeberMuelleretal.2012, author = {Carlsohn, Anja and Weber, Josefine and M{\"u}ller, Juliane and Stuwe, Anja and M{\"u}ller, Steffen and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Dietary intake to reduce body mass before competition in german judo athletes}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {44}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {109 -- 109}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeberMuellerOttoetal.2012, author = {Weber, Josefine and M{\"u}ller, Juliane and Otto, Christoph and Scharhag-Rosenberger, Friederike and Carlsohn, Anja and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Test-retest-reliability of metabolic and cardiovascular load during isokinetic strength testing}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {44}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {375 -- 376}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MuellerWeberOttoetal.2012, author = {M{\"u}ller, Juliane and Weber, Josefine and Otto, Christoph and M{\"u}ller, Steffen and Mayer, Frank}, title = {Effects of six-month trunk stability exercises on low back pain prevalence in young athletes}, series = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, volume = {44}, booktitle = {Medicine and science in sports and exercise : official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine}, publisher = {Lippincott Williams \& Wilkins}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {0195-9131}, pages = {601 -- 601}, year = {2012}, language = {en} }
