Clostridial infections are opportunistic, with 1% being due to Clostridium septicum. C septicum, a rare subgroup of the species, causes spontaneous gas gangrene with over 80% of cases associated with an underlying malignancy. C septicum is a motile, anaerobic, spore forming, gram-positive rod. The ileum and cecum are the most common source of C septicum. The gastrointestinal mucosa can become damaged, either from neoplastic lesions, cytotoxic drugs, irradiation, or immunosuppressive drugs.

Clinical commentaries and expert opinions have suggested that aging, injury, repetitive or prolonged overloading (eg, endurance runners), overweight, improper footwear, steroid injection, and comorbidities (eg, diabetes, rheumatic diseases) may negatively impact the structure and function of the heel fat pad. Prior investigations have focused on plantar fasciopathy, although heel fat pad syndrome (HFPS) seems to be a common cause of plantar heel pain.

Selecting footwear with appropriate fit in children is challenging due the changes with foot size and dimensions which occur throughout childhood. Access to appropriate footwear is important but recent challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in closure of retail stores for prolonged periods where parents/carers could not physically purchase footwear for their children and the footwear industry suffered disruption to their supply chain, and falls in retail sales. Simultaneously increased use of social media platforms for health information seeking throughout the pandemic have been documented.

Few previous studies have analyzed the effects of certain specific static and dynamic warm-up components on recreational sports players with a previous hamstring injury. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze changes in some modifiable and external risk factors after (immediately and in a follow-up assessment after 10 min) a static or dynamic warm-up program on recreational sports players with a previous hamstring injury.
