Abstract: Air pollution presents a growing, significant threat to health among the general population. Athletes and individuals participating in recreational exercise are particularly vulnerable due to increased ventilation during physical activity. The detrimental impacts of various pollutants on cardiorespiratory function, cognition, and sport-specific metrics have been investigated. Therefore, focus within the sports community has shifted to both personal and organizational strategies to mitigate or even prevent these effects. Limited evidence supports reducing exposure time and proximity, transition to indoor activity, precompetition acclimation, monitoring air quality when choosing location, and the use of masks and supplements. In addition, special considerations should be made for the unique exposures and challenges faced by populations, such as warfighters, para-athletes, or those living in disadvantaged communities. There remains a need for detailed and evidence-driven guidelines on air pollution for those participating in sports.

Abstract: Pelvic floor dysfunction is still an undervalued, underreported, and undertreated condition among female athletes. Despite high prevalence rates and growing interest within the scientific community, significant gaps persist in the application of evidence-based practices in sports medicine. This commentary, inspired by real questions encountered in the authors' work, is presented in a Q&A format to simulate a realistic conversation. The authors aim to provide answers to sports medicine physicians and the wider interdisciplinary team by offering a comprehensive overview of key considerations for managing athletes with persistent pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms. Through evidence-based suggestions, strategies, and a critical approach, the commentary aims to improve the understanding of the current best practice strategies for managing these athletes, both during and after conservative treatment options.

Abstract: Rib fractures are frequently encountered in contact sports, with pyopneumothorax as a potentially severe complication. However, it is infrequent for pleural empyema to progress to purulent pericarditis and cardiac tamponade. In this report, we present a successful case of a 41-year-old previously healthy Muay Thai fighter who developed purulent pericarditis with cardiac tamponade due to the contiguous spread of infection from an empyemic hydropneumothorax caused by traumatic rib fracture. Emergency pericardial and pleural drainage were performed, and despite negative cultures from both pericardial and pleural fluid, empiric broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy demonstrated significant efficacy. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment of infrequent but potentially lethal complications of rib fractures associated with contact sports.
