Mashup Score: 20Infographic. School-based factors promoting physical activity participation for children and adolescents with disabilities - 20 hour(s) ago
Physical activity (PA) is crucial for children and adolescents with disabilities, providing benefits such as improved cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health, enhanced mental well-being and reduced cardiometabolic risk.1 According to the WHO 2020 guidelines, children and adolescents with disabilities should accumulate an average of 60 min of daily moderate to vigorous PA.1 Yet, about 80% of children and adolescents with disabilities fall short of this target.2 Schools are uniquely positioned to promote PA through structured programmes and supportive environments, making it imperative to identify and leverage school-based factors that enhance PA participation.3 We performed two systematic reviews examining school factors associated with …

For clinicians to return athletes safely to sport, that is, with minimal risk for second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, a series of muscle function tests are typically administered prior to clearance for return to sport (RTS). Muscle function tests can include muscle strength for knee extension and flexion and hop performance, all important in sports participation.1 Results from muscle function tests are commonly presented as limb symmetry index (LSI), that is, the ratio of results between injured and uninjured limbs expressed as a percentage of symmetry. The recommended cut-off is LSI ≥90% across a battery of tests before an athlete is determined ‘ready’ for RTS.2 To date, it is unclear …

Female sport is having its moment. The unprecedented visibility, investment and support for female athletes across the world is creating opportunities that didn’t exist 5 years ago. This has allowed athletes to extend their athletic careers into their 30s and beyond. As the longevity of female athlete careers extends, new challenges (and opportunities) are arising for those who wish to remain in high-level sport without giving up aspirations of having a family. The last few years have seen increased emphasis on supportive policies and practices to give athletes the choice to start a family mid-career.1 Yet, this option is not viable for all athletes. The age at peak performance is rising among female athletes, hypothesised to be at least partially due to fewer women having to terminate their athletic career prematurely because of societal expectations around family life and childbirth.2 In order to support continued equitable inclusion of women in sport, it is essential that athletes b

Objective Resistance training (RT) has wide-ranging health benefits that may extend to pregnancy. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the influence of RT as a sole intervention or as part of a multicomponent exercise programme on pregnancy, delivery, fetal and pelvic floor outcomes. Design A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. Risk of bias was performed using the Johanna Briggs Institute risk of bias tool. Data sources Six databases were searched from inception to 15 March 2024. Eligibility criteria Studies were eligible for inclusion if pregnant individuals performed a RT intervention of any intensity, compared with usual care or a non-RT intervention. Outcomes included pregnancy outcomes (rates of gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and perinatal mood disorders), delivery outcomes (rates of caesarean section, perineal tearing, instrumented delivery and length of labour), fetal outcomes (birth mass, microsomia, macrosomia and gestational

Authors: Alex Rowlands and Mark Orme Why is this study important? Wearable activity monitors are increasingly used to assess how physically active people are. The intensity of physical activity measured by these devices is usually expressed in absolute terms. For example, time spent above a given rate of energy expenditure (e.g., 3 metabolic equivalents (METs), […]Read More…

Author: Patricia Bohmann Why is this study important? Over 40% of people worldwide have abdominal obesity, characterized by excess fat around the waist (1), and nearly 30% are insufficiently physically active (2). This is concerning because both abdominal obesity and physical inactivity are established risk factors for cancer, yet they remain alarmingly common globally (3-5).This study […]Read More…

This five-study thesis aimed to establish the comparative effectiveness, optimal application and clinical transferability of isometric exercise training (IET) to better understand its potential role in future exercise guideline recommendations. Study 1 laid the foundations for the thesis with a large-scale comparative systematic review and network meta-analysis comparing IET against other guideline-recommended traditional exercise approaches.1 This study has subsequently informed changes to current practice recommendations in the European hypertension guidelines (2024 ESC, ESE, ESO, Section 8.2.2).2 Study 2 aimed to then determine the most effective application of IET in a randomised cross-over design trial. After establishing the comparative effectiveness and most effective applications of IET, studies 3, 4 and 5 then moved onto the transition of IET into clinical populations exhibited with a randomised controlled clinical trial investigating the acute and chronic effects of IET in pa

Mashup Score: 60Systematic video analysis of 57 hamstring injuries in women’s football (soccer): injury mechanisms, situational patterns and biomechanics - 23 day(s) ago
Objective To investigate the occurrence and inciting events of hamstring injuries (HSIs) in elite women’s football through video analysis, describing the mechanism, situational patterns and biomechanics of the sport-specific activities performed before and at the time of injury. Methods A descriptive observational study was conducted using video analysis of HSIs from top national and international women’s football competitions across seven seasons (2017/2018 to 2023/2024). Three raters independently categorised HSIs following the Football Injury Inciting Circumstances Classification System and analysed joint and trunk kinematics. Results Among 109 identified HSIs, 57 (52%) were eligible for analysis. Most injuries (74%) were non-contact, with 51% occurring during running and 49% during stretch-type movements, including kicking and duelling. These patterns involved ball interaction in 68% and duels in 51% of cases. Injuries predominantly occurred in offensive situations (72%), with mode
