Introduction: Engaging in sports is crucial for maintaining and enhancing the health of both children and adults. However, it can also be a cause of injuries with temporary or permanent consequences. The primary causes of sports injuries are mechanical forces acting during intense physical exertion. A significant number of sports injuries involve the stomatognathic system, often occurring suddenly and unexpectedly, accompanied by pain and bleeding. The complexity of injuries depends on the type of sport, the athlete's age, and the force's strength, leading to serious aesthetic, functional, psychological, and economic consequences for the injured. Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study is to highlight the significant role of sports in physical and mental health, while also addressing potential injuries that may occur during sports activities, with a particular focus on dental and surrounding tissue injuries. The study emphasizes the importance of preventing traumatic and non-traumatic damage to dental tissues and surrounding structures through the mandatory use of sports mouthguards. Methods: This review article focuses on enriching knowledge about dental traumas caused by sports injuries, their prevention, and trends in the therapy of dentoalveolar traumas. Results: In this work, the authors aimed to briefly summarize, analyze, and present the latest available information from contemporary literature dealing with dentoalveolar traumas, including their causes, diagnosis, and treatment, while emphasizing the importance of prevention. Conclusion: Sports injuries, with a specific emphasis on injuries to the stomatognathic system, whether occurring in recreational or competitive sports, require a serious approach in terms of prevention, diagnosis, and therapy. The education of sports professionals, coaches, sports doctors, parents, and athletes themselves on providing first aid for the occurrence of dentoalveolar traumas is of great importance.

Introduction: A bone fracture is a break in the continuity of bone tissue, caused by the action of an external or internal force on the bone. Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries among athletes. Physically active people who participate in activities that require jumping, changing direction, and turning have an increased risk of ankle sprains. Ankle sprains and the repetitive trauma often associated with this condition can lead to long-term disability, lost time from activity, and financial burdens for athletes. Methods: The work is non-experimental (qualitative research), i.e. a review of scientific literature. The search included an overview of the relevant databases: Medline, PubMed, Google Scholar, Research Gate. The literature review includes 4 randomized clinical trials and 1 randomized single-blind trial. The mentioned databases were searched with the help of keywords: athletes, injury, ankle joint, rehabilitation. Results: Through a scientific review of the literature, the results of the significance and productivity of the application of rehabilitation in athletes with an ankle injury are presented. The results include the presentation and analysis of five published scientific papers in the period 2018-2020. The studies used for this review were published in India, Saudi Arabia, Iran, United States, Austria. Conclusion: By reviewing the scientific literature, it can be concluded that there are improvements in the quality of life of athletes after an ankle injury. The greatest improvements were noted in strength, balance and functional task performance. The application of the rehabilitation program plays an important role in reducing pain and stabilizing the knee joint.

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament injury is an injury that occurs in both sexes and in the population of all ages. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a very strong internal ligament of the knee, whose injuries occur frequently in athletes (professional and recreational) and after which the recovery is very long and complicated. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a standardized rehabilitation program after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction based on the time required for rehabilitation in athletes and recreational athletes. Methods: Research is designed as prospective study. The research was conducted in Polyclinic FM Sarajevo over a period of 10 months, starting in June 2018 and ending in March 2019. The collection of data required for the study was carried out using a form prepared for the analysis of patients included in the study. Results: Thirty-six people participated in the study, divided into two groups. In the first group, 52.8% belonged to recreational athletes, while in the second group, 47.2% belonged to athletes. At the end of the study, the flexion value in both studied groups was 120º. At the end of the study, the percentage of subjects with correct extension of the injured limb was 94.7% of recreational athletes and 64.7% of athletes. Of the total number of respondents included in this study, 33% were soccer players, 14% were basketball players, and 53% were recreational athletes. Conclusion: Based on the research results, it was confirmed that early rehabilitation after the established rehabilitation treatment program is shorter in recreational athletes than in professional athletes.

This research has the character of a transversal study with the aim of analyzing and determining the correlations of the latent dimensions of respondents who perform the functions of operational managers in sports associations from the area of West Herzegovina County. The results of this research showed that 10 isolated factors were extracted using the method of principal components for operational managers, which exhaust 90.2% of the common valid variance. In the matrix of the main organizational components in sports organizations of operational managers, the unrotated factor weights of each of the ten isolated components are presented. By analyzing the structure of the variables, we see that ten isolated factors were singled out, each of which in its own way explains and hypothetically covers certain areas that are interesting for this research. It can be seen that all ten isolated factors are dominated by variables and answers that hypothetically cover the work area and the authority of the lowest level of management, and that the main focus of the respondents is on the authority of the operational manager.

The research aimed to determine the training effects on speed potential of young football players by designed training program. Twelve (12) variables were measured, of which three (3) refer to the morphological part, while nine (9) refer to speed and agility tests. It was also assumed that there would be progress in the speed potential and agility of young footballers in favor of the EG, as well as progress in the specific technique. Sample included 33 young football players (Mean ± SD: 8.59 ± 0.69 years of age; body weight 32.12 ± 4.74 kg; height 135.29 ± 5.34 cm; and BMI 17.32 ± 1.76) divided in experimental group (EG) n=18 and control group (CG) n= 15. Greater statistical differences were noticeable in the EG, i.e. progress in the sprint variables at 5 and 10 meters (p<0.05), while in the CG there was none evident deterioration of the results compared to the initial values. Likewise, all variables, except for the 20-meter sprint and the 505 right leg agility test, had some improvement from baseline, but without statistical significance. Short term additional training programme lasting 4 weeks led to increase in speed quality improvement at 5 and 10 m in young football players. Results were in line with previous results.

Introduction: Neck pain is a very complex and important public health problem in our modern societies. Any structure of the neck, such as intervertebral discs, ligaments, muscles, facet joints, and nerve roots, can represent the source of pain. In epidemiological studies evaluating the general population, the one-year incidence of neck pain can be as high as 40%. Because of the tendency for neck pain to become a chronic problem, it is important to identify risk factors that could promote prevention and early diagnosis. Methods: The paper is a non-experimental (qualitative) research or a scientific literature review. For the purposes of this work, a search was conducted of the relevant databases Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Med-Line. The listed databases were searched using the keywords "neck pain", "frequency of neck pain", "risk factors", "children and adolescents”. Results: The results include a presentation and analysis of thirteen published scientific articles in the period 2014-2020. The studies used for this paper were published in Sweden, Lebanon, Brazil, Thailand, Tunisia, Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Norway, Germany, and Australia. Conclusion: By reviewing the scientific literature, it can be concluded that there is an increased frequency of risk factors for neck pain in children and adolescents. The most common risk factors are female gender, flexed head position, use of mobile and other devices, insufficient physical activity, ergonomic factors, psychological and social factors.
