I am curious, and not a big follower of field hockey. Have they done any long term studies of back deformities in field hockey players? It seems to me playing all hunched over like that can’t be good for the spine.

There have been several studies focusing on low back pain (LBP) among female field hockey players. Here are some key findings from recent research:

  1. Prevalence of Low Back Pain:

    • A study by R. Haydt (2012) reported that 59% of female field hockey players experienced low back pain related to the sport.

    • Another study indicated that the incidence of LBP was 56% among female players, which is quite significant.

  2. Factors Associated with Low Back Pain:

    • A 2024 study by N. Dobbin identified several factors contributing to non-specific low back pain in field hockey players, including:

      • Age

      • Stature

      • Playing position

      • Performing specific techniques like the drag flick

      • Low back stiffness or tightness

  3. Comparative Studies:

    • A 2023 study by M. Hagovská evaluated LBP in various athletes, including female field hockey players, highlighting the need for tailored injury prevention strategies.

  4. Risk Factors:

    • A literature review by M. Wege (2006) focused on elite female field hockey players and examined risk factors for LBP, emphasizing the importance of hip extensor muscles in relation to back pain.

Yea us!

If UMass wins their late game today, they tie us for 1st & I think they would get the #1 seed, since they beat Miami.

38

Did I post my yeas too early? Will this be a trick or treat?

39

No. We would share the MAC title but Miami would be the 1 seed. For some reason the tiebreaker is not head to head, the MAC already announced we are the 1 seed guaranteed

40

Outscored MAC opponents 54-5 over 9 games.

Against teams other than UMass we had an average margin of 6.63-0.25.
