Acromioclavicular joint dislocation is particularly common in collision sports such as ice hockey, football, Judo, rugby and aussie rules, and is also a problem for those who participate in swimming, horseback riding, mountain biking, biking, snow skiing and skateboarding. The most common mechanism of injury is a fall on the tip of the shoulder or FOOSH (Fall On OutStretched Hand). Acromioclavicular joint dislocations are graded from I to VI. Grading"

There are also hybrid pocket/carom games such as English billiards. The term """" is sometimes used to refer to all of the cue sports, to a specific"
"Limb (anatomy) A limb (from the Old English ""lim""), or extremity, is a jointed, or prehensile (as octopus arms or new world monkey tails), appendage of the human or other animal body. In the human body, the upper and lower limbs are commonly called the arms and the legs, respectively. Arms and legs are connected to torso or trunk. Many animals use limbs for locomotion, such as walking, running, or climbing. Some animals can use their front limbs (or upper limbs in humans) to carry and manipulate objects. Some animals can also use hind limbs for manipulation. Human legs and"
"Clutch (sports) Clutch performance in sports is the phenomenon of athletes under pressure, usually in the last minutes of a game, to summon strength, concentration and whatever else necessary to succeed, to perform well, and perhaps change the outcome of the game. It occurs in basketball, hockey, football, esports, and other sports. The opposite is ""choking"": failing to perform as needed, when under pressure. It is a phenomenon that is studied in psychology and in the more specialized area of sport psychology. The term gained popularity due to repetitive use among sports commentators, particularly baseball announcers. Consequently, a portion of"

A biceps slicer (also called a biceps lock or biceps crusher) is a compression lock that involves pressing the biceps into the humerus. An effective biceps slicer can be applied by putting an arm or leg as a fulcrum on the opponent's arm at the inside of the arm by the elbow, and flexing the opponent's arm over the fulcrum. This will result in the biceps and forearm being pressed into the fulcrum. The biceps slicer becomes most effective as a compression lock when"

Former scientific names include ""Limulus cyclops"", ""Xiphosura americana"", and ""Polyphemus occidentalis"". It is the tail that earns this order its name Xiphosura, which derives from the Greek for ""sword tail"".

Winchester Football could be considered a cross between football and rugby, though this analogy shouldn't be taken too far since there are significant differences. For example, the ball can only be carried, like in rugby, if caught full toss. Furthermore, no football-type ""dribbling"" is allowed since the player may not touch the ball more than once at a time. Neither can the ball be passed to a team-mate, except by back-heeling to a teammate behind. Furthermore, a player who finds himself"

The word ""ham"" is derived from the Old English ham or hom meaning the hollow or bend of the knee, from a Germanic base where it meant ""crooked"". It gained the meaning of the leg of an animal around the 15th century. ""String"" refers to tendons, and thus, the hamstrings are the string-like tendons felt on either side of the back of the knee.

"Cricket in fiction The sport of cricket has long held a special place in Anglophone culture, and a specialised niche in English literature. Cricket is the official summer sport in England, and it is widely known as the ""gentleman's game"", owing to the unique culture of the sport and its emphasis on ideals such as grace, sportsmanship, character and complexity. Cricket has therefore often attracted the attention (and in some cases, fandom) of the literati – Lamb, Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt were all players of the game – and some of the greatest English writers have written about cricket.

The scrum then 'engages' with the opposition team so that the players' heads are interlocked with those of the other side's front row. In rugby union the initiation of the process is verbally coordinated by the referee who calls 'crouch, bind, set' as of 2013 (formerly 'crouch, touch, pause, engage', 'crouch and hold, engage' before 2007). The scrum-half from the team that did not infringe then throws the ball into the tunnel created in the space between the two sets of front rowers' legs. Both teams may then try"

These reports have been attributed to several factors, including the increase in the use of artificial turf as well as the increasing size and speed of players. Dr. James Andrews, a noted orthopedic surgeon, said that ""athletes are bigger, stronger and running faster, and they're tearing up knees from cutting, changing direction on a dime"". Andrews also noted the increase in the number of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, which he attributed to the size of modern players. Injuries have always been an extremely big"

The CCAT has been adopted by three major professional leagues in the United States, as well as Rugby Football Union, Rugby League Football, the Australian Football League and the Professional Jockeys Association. At the consumer level, many school districts, youth sports associations and leading medical providers use the CCAT to safeguard the cognitive health of athletes of all ages and further prevention of concussions in sport.

However, a shortened sequence is currently being trialed in which the referee calls ""crouch"" (both front rows must crouch down) ""Bind"" (the props secure binds on each other's shoulders) and then ""Set"" at which point both packs rows engage.

The size and position of this bony lump determine whether a splint is likely to cause long-term lameness. The lump can interfere with the knee joint or the suspensory ligament, which runs down the back of the cannon bone. Splints force 7% of racehorses to retire. Luxations are joint dislocations and account for 8% of fatal injuries. Fetlock luxations account for 91% of all fatal luxation injuries. Due to the construction of the fetlock joint, luxation will result"
"Croquet Croquet is a sport that involves hitting plastic or wooden balls with a mallet through hoops (often called ""wickets"" in the United States) embedded in a grass playing court. The oldest document to bear the word ""croquet"" with a description of the modern game is the set of rules registered by Isaac Spratt in November 1856 with the Stationers' Company in London. This record is now in the Public Record Office. In 1868, the first croquet all-comers meet was held at Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire and in the same year the All England Croquet Club was formed at Wimbledon, London. Regardless"

In cycling jargon, it is used to refer to the traditional peaked cotton cap worn by racing cyclists. With the introduction of compulsory cycle helmets for massed-start racing, casquettes have become less common, but most professional race outfits still have them produced in team colours for wearing on the winners' podium, for wearing under a helmet in heavy rain or for sale to the ""tifosi"".

The two ligaments are also called ""cruciform"" ligaments, as they are arranged in a crossed formation. In the quadruped stifle joint (analogous to the knee), based on its anatomical position, it is also referred to as the cranial cruciate ligament. The term cruciate translates to cross. This name is fitting for the Anterior Cruciate Ligament because it crosses"

Ischial bursitis (also known as ""weaver's bottom"") is inflammation of the synovial bursa located between the gluteus maximus muscle and the ischial tuberosity, and is usually caused by prolonged sitting on a hard surface.
