Athletes participating in elite sports are exposed to high training loads and increasingly saturated competition calendars. Emerging evidence indicates that poor load management is a major risk factor for injury. The International Olympic Committee convened an expert group review the scientific relationship of (defined broadly include rapid changes load, calendar congestion, psychological travel) health outcomes sport. We summarise results linking injury athletes, provide coaches support...
Deciding when to return sport after injury is complex and multifactorial-an exercise in risk management. Return decisions are made every day by clinicians, athletes coaches, ideally a collaborative way. The purpose of this consensus statement was present synthesise current evidence make recommendations for decision-making, clinical practice future research directions related returning sport. A half meeting held Bern, Switzerland, the First World Congress Sports Physical Therapy. 17 expert...
Injury and illness surveillance, epidemiological studies, are fundamental elements of concerted efforts to protect the health athlete. To encourage consistency in definitions methodology used, enable data across studies be compared, research groups have published 11 sport-specific or setting-specific consensus statements on sports injury (and, eventually, illness) epidemiology date. Our objective was further strengthen collection, reporting through an updated set recommendations for...
Clinical Sports Medicine has been fully updated from the popular 2nd edition (2000). It is even more practical, now superbly illustrated, easy-to-read and packed with substantially new material. There are samples of several chapters online including whole Pain in Achilles region chapter. This book describes a completely symptom-oriented approach to treating clinical problems.
Background Heterogeneous taxonomy of groin injuries in athletes adds confusion to this complicated area. Aim The ‘Doha agreement meeting on terminology and definitions pain athletes’ was convened attempt resolve problem. Our aim agree a standard terminology, along with accompanying definitions. Methods A one-day held 4 November 2014. Twenty-four international experts from 14 different countries participated. Systematic reviews were performed give an up-to-date synthesis the current evidence...
OBJECTIVES: To primarily ascertain the effect of Otago Exercise Program (OEP) on physiological falls risk, functional mobility, and executive functioning after 6 months in older adults with a recent history to OEP during 1‐year follow‐up period. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Dedicated clinics. PARTICIPANTS: Seventy‐four aged 70 who presented healthcare professional fall. INTERVENTION: The OEP, home‐based program that consists resistance training balance exercises....

Poor reporting of medical and healthcare systematic reviews is a problem from which the sports exercise medicine, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, science fields are not immune. Transparent, accurate comprehensive review helps researchers replicate methods, readers understand what was done why, clinicians policy-makers implement results in practice. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement its accompanying Explanation Elaboration document provide...
<h3>Importance</h3> Whether exercise reduces subsequent falls in high-risk older adults who have already experienced a fall is unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess the effect of home-based program as prevention strategy were referred to clinic after an index fall. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> A 12-month, single-blind, randomized clinical trial conducted from April 22, 2009, June 5, 2018, among aged at least 70 years had within past 12 months recruited clinic....
Objectives To: (1) describe hamstring injury incidence and burden in male professional football players over 21 seasons (2001/02 to 2021/22); (2) analyse the time-trends of muscle injuries most recent eight (2014/15 (3) location, mechanism recurrence rate. Methods 3909 from 54 teams (in 20 European countries) 2001/02 2021/22 (21 consecutive seasons) were included. Team medical staff recorded individual player exposure time-loss injuries. Time-trend analyses performed with Poisson regression...
Objective To determine the prevalence and factors associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) specific OA features on MRI 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Methods Isotropic 3.0T scans were obtained for 111 participants (71 men; mean ± SD age 30 8 years) ACLR as well 20 age‐, sex‐, activity level–matched uninjured controls. The Knee Score was used to score features. MRI‐defined tibiofemoral patellofemoral evaluated based...
In 2013, the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC-O) was developed to record magnitude, symptoms and consequences of overuse injuries in sport. Shortly afterwards, a modified version OSTRC-O capture all types illnesses—The on Health Problems (OSTRC-H). Since then, users from range research clinical environments have identified areas which these questionnaires may be improved. Therefore, structure content reviewed by an international panel consisting original...
The goal of the OPTIKNEE consensus is to improve knee and overall health, prevent osteoarthritis (OA) after a traumatic injury. followed seven-step hybrid process. Expert groups conducted 7 systematic reviews synthesise current evidence inform recommendations on burden injuries; risk factors for post-traumatic OA; rehabilitation patient-reported outcomes, muscle function functional performance tests monitor people at OA. Draft definitions, clinical research were generated, iteratively...
Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of group resistance and agility‐training programs in reducing fall risk community‐dwelling older women with low bone mass. Design: A randomized, controlled, single‐blind 25‐week prospective study assessments at baseline, midpoint, trial completion. Setting: Community center. Participants: Community‐dwelling aged 75 to 85 Intervention: Participants were randomly assigned one three groups: training (n=32), agility (n=34), stretching (sham) exercises...
Abstract We compared 7-month changes in bone structural properties pre- and early-pubertal girls randomized to exercise intervention (10-minute, 3 times per week, jumping program) or control groups. Girls were classified as prepubertal (PRE; Tanner breast stage 1; n = 43 for [I] 25 [C]) (EARLY; stages 2 3; I 63 C). Mean ± SD age was 10.0 0.6 10.5 the PRE EARLY groups, respectively. Proximal femur scans analyzed using a hip analysis (HSA) program assess mineral density (BMD), subperiosteal...
