Tokyo, Aug. 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062390) titled 'Study of Whole-Body Movement and Muscle and Joint Loading During Sports Activities' on Aug. 1.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Single arm Randomization - Non-randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Uncontrolled

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Ehime University

Condition: Condition - Healthy individuals participating in sports Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The objective of this study is to measure and analyze whole-body biomechanics during various sports movements using a markerless motion capture system and musculoskeletal modeling, and to quantitatively assess musculoskeletal loading, including muscle forces, joint moments, and joint compression forces. The study will also examine the associations of biomechanical parameters with sport type, age, sex, physical characteristics, sports experience, and history of sports-related injury to identify high-load movements and factors potentially associated with sports injuries and disorders. Basic objectives2 - Others

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Participants will perform prespecified sport-specific movements within an approximately 4 m * 4 m motion-capture area. The movements will be selected in advance for each sport from activities that the participants have already learned and routinely perform during their usual sports participation, such as jumping, landing, throwing, or other sport-specific movements. Each movement will be repeated as necessary while participant safety and the adequacy of data acquisition are monitored. Whole-body motion during the sports movements will be recorded at a single measurement visit using eight high-speed cameras and a markerless motion-capture system. The visit will also include an interview and physical measurements, including height, body weight, body composition, grip strength, and lower-extremity muscle strength. The total duration of the measurement visit will be approximately 1 hour. The intervention will generally be performed once. When additional measurements are required because of insufficient or incomplete data during the analysis process, the same motion assessment may be repeated after obtaining the participant's agreement.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 6 years-old <= Age-upper limit - Not applicable Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Individuals aged 6 years or older. Individuals who participate in sports and are sports school instructors or students, students belonging to school or university sports clubs, or competitive athletes. Individuals who are able to perform the sport-specific movements designated in the study. Individuals who are able to respond to the study interview, or, when the participant is unable to respond because of age or other reasons, whose legally authorized representative is able to provide the required information. Individuals who have received an adequate explanation of the study and provided written informed consent. For minors, written informed consent must be obtained from a legally authorized representative, and informed assent must be obtained from the participant according to the participant's level of understanding. Key exclusion criteria - Individuals for whom neither the participant nor a legally authorized representative is able to respond to the study interview. Individuals with an injury under treatment at the time of study participation. Individuals with a musculoskeletal disorder related to the designated sport-specific movement at the time of study participation. Individuals judged by the investigators to be unable to participate in the study or complete the scheduled assessments because of their physical or psychological condition or for other reasons. Individuals judged by the investigators to have a serious psychosocial problem that may substantially affect study participation or the study results. Individuals otherwise judged by the principal investigator or subinvestigators to be unsuitable for participation. Target Size - 100
