Sports doctor: Pedri s injuries often occur at the moment of starting and may also be related to muscle fatigue

Recently, kinesiology doctor Bala Tegui talked about Pedri's muscle injury through "Daily Sports". He said that in addition to this injury, it may be related to muscle fatigue.

Although Pedri has maintained good health in the recent period, he suffered a muscle injury after being sent off with a red card in the national derby and is expected to be sidelined for more than a month. While it was initially suggested he could return after the international break, it now appears the recovery time could be extended to five to six weeks.

Given that Pedri is in excellent condition, this injury is particularly "tragic". In this regard, Dr. Balstegui of the Cugat Institute in Barcelona explains in detail the causes of biceps femoris injuries, preventive measures, and factors to pay attention to in case of recurrence.

He said: "Indeed, in football, due to frequent acceleration and deceleration movements and the impact of shooting and other actions, the biceps femoris is under tremendous pressure. The most common injury occurs at the moment of starting. When the muscle is in a contracted state, it suddenly relaxes and then tightens, which may cause micro tears. Sometimes this injury may also be related to muscle fatigue, the player's physical condition and other factors such as diet control, but in top athletes these factors are usually eliminated Strict management. "

"The prevention of such injuries mainly relies on physical training. This includes the work of physical therapists, rehabilitation coaches and physical coaches. Nowadays, professional clubs will use some measurement tools such as GPS to monitor the physical condition of players to understand how they are performing at any time and how their muscles are working. However, it must also be admitted that some injuries are difficult to foresee, such as a certain sprint action during the game. Muscle strains are often difficult to avoid."

"Muscles are composed of connective tissue, which is responsible for supporting the entire muscle structure. The injured area usually involves the intersection of these two types of tissue. The severity will vary depending on whether the injury affects different types of connective tissue such as tendons or aponeurosis. In addition, factors such as the amount of bleeding and the location of the injury should also be considered. Generally speaking, recovery may take about three weeks for minor injuries. Up to around six weeks, and in some cases surgical intervention is required. "Throughout the course of the season, a player's condition will fluctuate. Therefore, it is important to monitor the level of fatigue as the number of games increases and the intensity of competition increases. Although preventive measures are crucial, there are still some risks that are unpredictable. There are many other variables besides the player's own condition."
