Mashup Score: 175
Keywords: Knee, meniscal tear, structural damage This blog is based on a recent study exploring differences in structural knee joint damage [1]. Why is this study important? Recently, two randomized trials compared a strategy of early meniscal surgery to a strategy of exercise therapy with the option of later surgery (if needed) in young active […]Read More…

Mashup Score: 70Physical fitness in male adolescents and atherosclerosis in middle age: a population-based cohort study - 1 month(s) ago
Objectives To examine the associations between physical fitness in male adolescents and coronary and carotid atherosclerosis in middle age. Methods This population-based cohort study linked physical fitness data from the Swedish Military Conscription Register during adolescence to atherosclerosis data from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study in middle age. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using a maximal cycle-ergometer test, and knee extension muscular strength was evaluated through an isometric dynamometer. Coronary atherosclerosis was evaluated via Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) stenosis and Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scores, while carotid plaques were evaluated by ultrasound. The associations were analysed using multinomial logistic regression, adjusted (marginal) prevalences and restricted cubic splines. Results The analysis included 8986 male adolescents (mean age 18.3 years) with a mean follow-up of 38.2 years. Physical fitness showed a reversed

Mashup Score: 52Depression, anxiety and stress among female student-athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis - 2 month(s) ago
Objective To identify, quantify and analyse determinants of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms among female student-athletes. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources Five online databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsychInfo, SportDiscus and Web of Science) searched from inception through 14 September 2023. Hand-searches and contacting authors for eligible studies. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Articles were included if they were published in English, included female student-athletes competing at National Collegiate Athletic Association institutions, and measured symptom-level depression, anxiety and/or stress. Results and summary We screened 2415 articles; 52 studies (N=13 849) were included in the systematic review with 13 studies qualifying for meta-analysis. Seventeen determinants were identified including injury (eg, concussions), health (eg, sleep hygiene) and social factors (eg, social support). As data specific to female student-athletes was delineated
