Within soccer, the burden of sports injury is high. 1 At the same time, return to sport outcomes for players sustaining injury are often poor (eg, rates of return to preinjury sport, return to preinjury performance, and reinjury). 2 Ideally, a player should only return to sport when they are both

Sport injuries and the rehabilitation period after injuries are very important for athletes’ careers. For this reason, this period needs to be considered multidisciplinary and then comprehensively planned and implemented. But, with a primary focus on physical aspects, psychological factors can be
An Exploration of Athletes’ Views on Their Adherence to Physiotherapy Rehabilitation After Sport Injury
Andy Marshall, Maggie Donovan-Hall, and Steve Ryall
Objective:
To explore athletes’ perceptions of the factors that they feel may affect their adherence to a physiotherapy intervention.
Design:
A qualitative design using semistructured interviews.
Setting:
Participants were interviewed at home or their athletic club.
Participants:
8 participants, 5 men and 3 women with a mean age of 30.4 y.
Results:
Thematic analysis revealed 2 main categories of themes. The first relates to the athlete’s perceptions of factors affecting his or her own adherence, with themes including the impact of injury, justification of adherence, and strategies used by the patient. The second relates to perceptions of the physiotherapist’s impact on adherence, with themes relating to characteristics of and strategies used by the physiotherapist.
Conclusions:
Findings demonstrate the importance of exploring patients’ perceptions of adherence. A number of factors that affect adherence are identified, and strategies that may enhance adherence suggested.

A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study to Investigate the Effect of Whole-Body Vibration on Lower-Extremity Fatigue
Noureddin Nakhostin Ansari, Soofia Naghdi, Hadi Karimi-Zarchi, Zahra Fakhari, and Scott Hasson
Context:
Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a type of weight-bearing exercise used in the field of sport and rehabilitation. There is no study on the effects of WBV on muscle recovery after a fatiguing activity.
Objective:
To determine the effects of a single WBV session on lower-extremity fatigue.
Design:
Randomized controlled pilot study.
Setting:
University Physiotherapy Clinic.
Subjects:
A total of 13 healthy young men volunteered to participate in this study. Subjects were randomly assigned into the WBV group (n = 7, mean age: 21 y) or control group (CG; n = 6, mean age: 20 y).
Intervention:
Subjects in the WBV group participated in a single-session WBV (30 Hz, amplitude 4 mm, 2 min) after lower-extremity fatigue.
Main Outcome Measures:
Peak force of quadriceps muscle, single leg hop test, and Y-test were measured before inducing muscle fatigue (T0), immediately after completing the fatigue protocol (T1), after WBV (T2), and 15 min following the application of WBV (T3). The same method was applied in the CG while the WBV machine was turned off.
Results:
Repeated-measure ANOVA revealed no significant differences between groups in any of the outcomes.
Conclusions:
The findings indicated that WBV was not effective in the recovery of lower-extremity fatigue in healthy young men.
