Medicine Centre of Lyon

(France) has been studying

the injuries of young sports

players and sports professionals. The study

has established that the best course is prevention ... and good shoes.

Knocks, falls, wear and tear ...

Eighteen percent of sports players aged 8 to 12

already have heel injuries. The cartilage of a

footballer’s ankle does not respond well to

shocks, and 25 percent of professionals

have discovered for themselves that it is

an especially weak point. The cartilage of

the delicate knee joint can also be

irreparably damaged, and if care is not

taken right from childhood (10–12 years

of age), this can cause premature

osteoarthritis. The hip does not escape

damage either and, particularly when

tired, players run the risk of fractures

as a result of falls or collisions.

According to the study, footballers who have been playing for

more than 10 years have bony outgrowths either on

the tibia or on the heel. This is what is known as

“footballer’s foot,” a deformity caused by shoes

with soles and ankle parts that are too flexible.

Protect, support, stabilize, absorb

If a shoe is too rigid, it restricts movement. If it is

too flexible, it increases the risk of injuries and

sprains. A good sports shoe should meet four criteria.

Firstly, it must provide exterior protection: resisting knocks from the baIl or another player, coping

with unevenness in the ground, and keeping the foot

warm and dry even when it is freezing cold and

raining.

It must support the foot, and in particular the

ankle joint, to avoid sprains, swelling, and other

problems, which may even affect the knee.

It must also provide players with good stability

so that they do not slip on a wet ground or skid on a

surface that is too dry.

Finally, it must absorb shocks, especially those

suffered by volleyball and basketball players who

are constantly jumping.

Dry feet

To avoid minor but painful conditions such as

blisters or even splits or athlete’s foot (fungal infections), the shoe must allow evaporation of perspiration and must prevent outside dampness from getting in. The ideal material for this is leather, which

can be water-proofed to prevent the shoe from getting soaked the first time it rains. this is a article.........​
