To evaluate the construct validity (structural and hypothesis testing), reliability (test-retest reliability, measurement error internal consistency) minimal important change (MIC) of 13-item TENDINopathy Severity assessment-Achilles (TENDINS-A).
The IOC made recommendations for recording and reporting epidemiological data on injuries illness in sports 2020, but with little, if any, focus female athletes. Therefore, the aims of this supplement to consensus statement are (i) propose a taxonomy categorisation athlete health problems across lifespan; (ii) make capture inform consistent symptoms, injuries, illnesses other outcomes injury epidemiology (iii) specifications when applying Strengthening Reporting Observational Studies...
To develop a new patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) assessing TENDINopathy Severity of the Achilles (TENDINS-Achilles) and evaluate its content validity.
Objective: To examine Malawian physiotherapists knowledge and beliefs about Osteoarthritis (OA) their perceived capabilities to deliver an Management Program (OMP) people with knee hip OA; identify OMP barriers facilitators in Malawi. Design Two phased mixed methods formative evaluation Methods Phase 1: participated the GLA:D Australia training course answered quantitative pre-and-post questions that were descriptively summarized, analysed using McNemars test, where appropriate. 2:...
The decline in skeletal muscle regenerative capacity with age is partly attributed to stem cell (satellite cell) dysfunction. Recent evidence has pointed a strong interaction between myoblasts and fibroblasts, but the influence of on this unknown. Additionally, while native tissue environment known determine properties myogenic cells vitro, how aging process alters memory not been established at molecular level. We recruited 12 young elderly women, who performed single bout heavy resistance...

Despite cross-cultural differences in knowledge and attitudes toward menstruation, most studies on menstruation women’s sport have been conducted high-income countries, such as Europe, none Africa. The aim of this study was to explore the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors African elite women football players, their support personnel menstrual cycle menstruation. An anonymous questionnaire distributed all participants ( n = 564) at two tournaments. Ultimately, 238 44 coaches, 18 health...
The menstrual cycle is a normal biological process in women and girls. However, it often the reason why they tend to be excluded from football medicine research. Consequently, our understanding of performance still limited, especially African players.The study aimed explore players' current historical status, symptoms, lived experiences, perceptions cycle.Women players at COSAFA Women's Championship 2020 completed demographic questionnaires Moos Menstrual Distress Questionnaire.The main...
Background: Systematic analyses of injuries, illnesses or medication use and their risk factors among female African athletes are scarce, which has implications for management these athletes. Aim: This prospective cohort study analysed the incidence characteristics during 2020 COSAFA Women’s Championship. Methods: The medical personnel all participating teams reported new used by players daily. Results: Sixty-three injuries were reported: 45 match 18 training injuries; 45.5 (95% CI: 32.2 to...
<h3>Introduction</h3> We evaluated construct validity (structural and hypothesis-testing) reliability (test-retest reliability, measurement error internal consistency) of the new TENDINopathy Severity assessment-Achilles (TENDINS-A), which is only outcome measure with adequate content for assessment disability in Achilles tendinopathy. <h3>Materials Methods</h3> Participants tendinopathy completed an online survey: demographics, TENDINS-A, Foot Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) Victorian Institute...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Athletes’ nutrition knowledge depends on the sources of information they are exposed to and their social status. Currently, there is a dearth literature Ugandan athletes. This study assessed endurance athletes’ sports knowledge, information, dietary consumption patterns. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive including 100 purposively selected (middle long distance) athletes from four Athletic Management camps was conducted in Kapchorwa district, Uganda....
Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is associated with pain and altered ultrasound (US) color Doppler (CD) findings. However, the relationship between them equivocal, perhaps because previous studies have only used VISA-A scale as measure of tendon pain. To determine US CD findings self-reported using VISA-A, Short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (sf-MPQ), Brief Inventory (sf-BPI). Recreational athletes AT rated their on sf-MPQ, sf-BPI. The tendons runners (TEN, n = 127) without (CON, 103) were...
Football (soccer) is a very popular team sport among African women and girls, with player numbers continuing to rise at all levels of the sport. Whereas participation in football associated injuries are on rise, there not enough sports exercise medicine (SEM) personnel attend these players. While Africa may currently have SEM trained medical doctors and/or physiotherapists, it has relatively higher other healthcare workers; for example, nurses, who lead services provision from community...
Background: Schoolboy rugby is a popular sport which forms the bedrock of development in many African countries, including Zimbabwe. With burgeoning talent identification programmes, multi-dimensional, logically- validated, and reliable test batteries essential to inform objective selection potentially talented young athletes. Objectives: This study sought evidence on absolute relative test-retest reliability component items newly-assembled SCRuM battery. Methods: Utilising pragmatic...
