Abstract: We sought to calculate the pooled access to athletic trainers at secondary and high schools within the United States, and to evaluate barriers to athletic trainer staffing among these schools. Data on full-time access and any access to an athletic trainer as well as factors that contributed to accessibility were collected. Twenty-four studies were included in the final review. Two-thirds (66.4%) of the schools in the included studies had any access to an athletic trainer, while only one-third (34.6%) of schools had full-time access. Five common themes arose that diminished a school's ability to access an athletic trainer - smaller school size and lower student athlete numbers, rural school location, private school status, and low socioeconomic status of the region. Efforts to increase funding and access to athletic trainers for high school athletes may help provide numerous economic and health-related benefits both in the short and long term.

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.
