Call The Jewish News 354-6060 Sports Jerusalem — medicine today must concen- trate on prevention of sports injuries and not just treat- ment or surgery says- Dr. Gi- deon Mann of the Sports Medicine Unit at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Mann spoke at the conclusion of the Fifth International Jerusalem Symposium on Sports Injuries. Dr. Mann, chairman of the symposium's organizing com- mittee, stressed in his remarks that prevention of in- juries requires proper atten- tion to the types of sports sur- faces used and shoes worn for physical activities. These are the factors which most lend themselves to control, he said. The symposium dealt with shoulder, back and knee in- juries as well as the role of shoes and playing surfaces in controlling injuries. Some 300 doctors, including sports medicine specialists and ex- perts in the fields of shoes and surfaces participated in the two-day conference. One of the central questions raised was whether the large increase in sports injuries was at a reasonable level. Prof. Haim Weinberg, former head of orthopedics at Hadassah University Hospital Mount Scopus, argued that sports oc- cupies an increasingly impor- tant place in society, both because of the large numbers of people participating in such activities and also because of the large sums of money being invested in pro- fessional and amateur athletics. The great involve- ment in sports activities creates injuries that previous- ly were not widely en- countered, he said, such as in- juries to the knee and spine and hormonal disruptions among women (menstrual cessation). The sports physi- cian must be concerned that hundreds of thousands of sport devotees are liable to suffer injuries as a result of their activities, he states. Prof. Robert Leach of the Boston University Medical Center, who has served as the physician of the American Olympic delegation, said that while the high incidence of serious injuries from sports activities is worrisome, the fact that good physical condi- tioning can lead to improve- ment in the quality and dura- tion of life makes such risk ac- ceptable from society's point of view. At the same time, he added, everything possible should be done to prevent in- juries rather than having to treat them later. Dr. Leach cited the high injury rate of American football is excessive. Prof. Benno Nigg, professor of biomechanics at the University of Calgary, said that research has shown the connection between playing surfaces and shoes and the frequency of sports injuries. Prof. Nigg presented two aspects which determine sur- face quality: the frictional behavior of the surface, since surfaces which permit more sliding make for fewer in- juries than those surfaces which do not (clay surfaces, for example, are better than asphalt for tennis) and the cushioning aspect, since hard surfaces are liable to cause in- juries to joints and bring about arthritic problems at a young age. He said that work done by his research team and others has led to changes in the ways in which sports shoes and ordinary shoes are constructed, enabling the foot more freedom of movement.
