Injuries to the proximal hamstring muscle complex are common in athletes and range from strains to tendinous and bony avulsions. The lesion mechanism typically involves an eccentric contraction of the hamstring muscles during abrupt hip hyperflexion with the knee in extension. Low-speed injuries occur in high kicks and splits, whereas tendon avulsions are common in high-speed activities, such as running and ballet.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the focal relationship between choroidal thickness and retinal sensitivity in myopic eyes.

Methods: Participants underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) imaging and microperimetry testing. Choroidal thicknesses were obtained by segmenting the SS-OCT scans using a deep-learning approach.

Futsal, a high-intensity sport, places considerable demands on the hip adductors and core musculature, often resulting in strength deficits and reduced agility. Optimising training strategies to prevent injury and enhance performance is a growing area of interest. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the modified progressive Copenhagen exercise versus sliding hip exercise in adjuncts to conventional physiotherapy in improving strength, core stability and agility in futsal athletes.
