Over the last few years, numerous studies have proclaimed a negative trend in the motor performance of children and adolescents. Drawing from the online Fitness Olympiad database, the data of 8239 children and adolescents from Germany were analyzed by age, sex, and motor performance measured using the Dordel–Koch–test (DKT). Results were compared from the 2010‐2012 and 2018‐2020 cohorts. The results of the 2010‐2012 and 2018‐2020 cohorts were then compared regarding the general and sex‐specific changes in the development of motor performance. A negative trend was shown for three of five motor performance test items, with decreases of 0.9%‐4.8% in abdominal and leg strength and coordination under time pressure, respectively, being found. In contrast, endurance improved by 0.4% and arm and trunk muscle strength by 3.1%. The negative development can be seen as a correlate of exercise deficit disorder (EDD) due to increasing sedentarism. Therefore, the correlation between motor performance and health indicates a clear motivation to appropriately promote the main forms of motor activity.

The public's concussion awareness is increasing. However, youth may still participate in sport through concussion symptoms and parents may not take their child with a suspected concussion to a physician for assessment and clearance to return to sport. This study uses qualitative methodology to explore parent and coach experiences with concussion management in youth ice hockey. Potential barriers and facilitators to a coach removing a player from play following a suspected concussion and parents taking their child to see a physician are highlighted. We purposively selected twenty‐four hockey parents and coaches in Calgary, Canada, and interviewed them to understand their experience managing youth following a suspected concussion. Using thematic analysis, we highlight barriers and facilitators to coaches appropriately removing a player from participation and parents taking their child to a physician for assessment. Contextual factors including competing priorities, emotional responses, severity of injury, parent and coach beliefs, appropriate communication, and concussion awareness can influence coach and parent concussion management strategies. Coaches, parents, and players play a vital role in facilitating concussion identification and appropriate management. While further education of coaches and parents is indicated, it is important to consider contextual factors that interfere with concussion management behaviors.

Peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) is an important predictor of cardiovascular and all‐cause mortality in patients with renal disease. VO2peak worsens in patients with chronic renal disease and has been reported to improve in the short term (6‐month time period) following renal transplant. However, long‐term changes in VO2peak following renal transplant remain uncharacterized. We examined changes in VO2peak over ~3 years of follow‐up after renal transplant in 18 patients (age—56.2 ± 2.5 years, BMI—29.7 ± 6). VO2peak was quantified using a treadmill ramp test prior to and following renal transplantation. Subjects were classified as stable vs adverse responders based on changes in VO2peak on follow‐up. Relative VO2peak declined significantly from 15.2 ± 0.8 mL/kg/min to 12.2 ± 0.4 mL/kg/min (~20% reduction) in the entire cohort principally driven by reductions in the adverse response group (n = 10; pre—16.5 ± 1.1, post—11.9 ± 0.5 mL/kg/min) that had greater reductions in VO2peak compared with the stable group (n = 8; pre—13.7 ± 0.7, post—12.5 ± 0.7 mL/kg/min). There were significantly greater hospitalizations in the adverse response group as well. The trends demonstrated in our exploratory study of 18 patients need to be examined and validated in larger cohorts.

Resistance training is an effective strategy to counteract the age‐related loss of muscle mass and strength in elderly, but whether the benefits of training differ between sexes is unclear. A total of 297 elderly men and women were randomized to 1 year of heavy resistance training (HRT) or control (CON). Changes in muscle function and body composition were compared between sexes and groups. Improvements in muscle strength, body fat, muscle mass and size were observed, but the absolute improvements in muscle strength (23 Nm ± 2.3 vs 11 Nm ± 2.2, P < .01) and visceral fat content (−215 g ± 50 vs −60 g ± 21, P < .01) were greater in men. Also, the relative decrease in body fat % (−6.8% ± 1.1 vs −2.7% ± 0.7, P < .05) and fat mass (−7.9% ± 1.4 vs −2.7% ± 1.0, P < .05) was more pronounced in men. Heavy resistance training improved more than CON in most muscular and body composition parameters with greater increase in muscle strength and decrease in body fat in men. Consequently, resistance training is recommendable to counteract age‐related losses of muscle mass and strength and to reduce body fat in elderly, however, with a small advantage for men in parameters that predict metabolic risk factors.
阻力训练是一种有效的策略，可以抵消老年人与年龄相关的肌肉质量和力量损失，但训练的益处是否因性别而异尚不清楚。共有297名老年男性和女性被随机分配到为期1年的高阻力训练（HRT）或对照组（CON）。比较不同性别和组间肌肉功能和身体成分的变化。观察到肌肉力量、体脂、肌肉质量和大小的改善，但男性肌肉力量（23 Nm±2.3 vs 11 Nm±2.2，P<0.01）和内脏脂肪含量（−215 g±50 vs−60 g±21，P<0.01）的绝对改善更大。此外，男性的体脂%（−6.8%±1.1 vs−2.7%±0.7，P＜0.05）和脂肪量（−7.9%±1.4 vs−2.7%±1.0，P＜.05）的相对下降更为明显。大阻力训练在大多数肌肉和身体成分参数上都比CON改善得更多，男性的肌肉力量增加得更多，体脂减少得更多。因此，建议进行阻力训练，以抵消与年龄相关的肌肉质量和力量损失，并减少老年人的体脂，然而，在预测代谢风险因素的参数方面，男性的优势很小。

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstructive surgery is known to cause long‐term negative impacts on quadriceps muscle size. With the known link between reduced muscle size and the health and functioning of the knee joint, it is important rehabilitation programs aim to restore quadriceps mass as safely and quickly as possible. However, a comprehensive review of interventions investigating the impact of training interventions on quadriceps muscle size in ACL‐reconstructed individuals has yet to be undertaken. Therefore, this article systematically reviews the evidence investigating training interventions that aim to improve quadriceps size in ACL‐reconstructed individuals. A literature search was performed in MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, and Web of Science. Observational and experimental studies investigating training interventions impact on quadriceps muscle size in ACL‐reconstructed individuals were included. Risk‐of‐bias assessment (Downs and Black) was completed on included studies, data was extracted, and a best evidence synthesis was undertaken. 718 articles were returned in the initial search; following screening, six articles were included in this review. Results from the best evidence synthesis suggest there is moderate evidence for eccentrically biased training to increase quadriceps size. Both traditional resistance training and blood flow restriction training showed conflicting results for improving quadriceps size. However, the results for traditional resistance training and blood flow restriction training may have been limited by differing imaging methods across included studies. This review highlights the positive changes in quadriceps size seen following traditional, eccentrically biased and blood flow restriction exercise interventions in ACL‐reconstructed limbs, despite the limited number of studies. Further work is needed to identify and optimize the best practice for hypertrophic training in these individuals.
众所周知，前交叉韧带(ACL)损伤和重建手术会对股四头肌的大小产生长期的负面影响。众所周知，肌肉大小的减少与膝关节的健康和功能之间存在联系，因此，旨在安全、快速地恢复股四头肌质量的康复计划非常重要。然而，对前交叉韧带重建患者进行训练干预对股四头肌大小影响的综合评估尚未开展。因此，本文系统地回顾了旨在改善ACL重建患者股四头肌大小的训练干预的证据。在MEDLINE、SPORTDiscus、CINAHL和Web of Science中进行文献检索。观察性和实验性研究调查了训练干预对前交叉韧带重建个体股四头肌大小的影响。对纳入的研究完成了偏倚风险评估(Downs和Black)，提取了数据，并进行了最佳证据合成。在最初的搜索中返回了718篇文章;经过筛选，本综述纳入了6篇文章。最佳证据综合的结果表明，有中度证据表明偏心训练可以增加股四头肌的大小。传统的阻力训练和血流限制训练在改善股四头肌大小方面显示出相互矛盾的结果。然而，传统阻力训练和血流限制训练的结果可能受到纳入研究中不同成像方法的限制。尽管研究数量有限，但这篇综述强调了在ACL重建肢体中，传统的、偏心的和血流限制运动干预后，股四头肌大小的积极变化。需要进一步的工作来确定和优化这些个体的肥厚训练的最佳实践。

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of a neuromuscular training (NMT) warm‐up on the prevalence of overuse lower extremity (LE) injuries in children's football. Twenty Finnish U11‐U14 youth football clubs (n = 1409 players; females 280, males 1129; age range 9‐14) were randomized into intervention and control groups containing 10 clubs each (intervention: 44 teams, n = 676 players; control: 48 teams, n = 733 players). The intervention group performed a structured NMT warm‐up operated by team coaches for 20 weeks. The main outcome measure was the prevalence of football‐related overuse LE injuries and injuries were tracked via weekly text messages. The average weekly prevalence of overuse LE injuries was 11.6% (95% CI: 11.0%‐12.2%) in the intervention group and 11.3% (10.7%‐11.9%) in the control group. The most common anatomical locations were the knee (weekly prevalence 6.0% in the intervention group and 5.7% in the control group) and heel (2.4% and 2.6%). There was no difference in the prevalence of overuse LE injuries between the groups: odds ratio (OR) 1.01 (95% CI: 0.99‐1.03). In conclusion, NMT warm‐up was equal to standard practice warm‐up in preventing overuse LE injuries in children's football during a follow‐up of 20 weeks.

The aim of this study was to determine the 4‐week prevalence of pain medication use in youth athletes, the type of medication used, the reasons for use, and from where the athletes obtained the medication. 466 handball players (aged 14‐18) were surveyed about their pain medication use within the preceding 4 weeks. The questionnaire consisted of 3 parts: type of pain medication used (if any; non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen/paracetamol, and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)), the reasons for use, and from where it was obtained. 190 players (41% [95% CI 36%‐45%]) reported pain medication use within the last 4 weeks. Paracetamol was the most reported type (n = 157, 83% [95% CI 77%‐88%]), followed by NSAIDs (n = 98, 52% [95% CI 44%‐59%]); 67 reported “injury‐related reasons” for their use, and most participants reported to obtain the pain medication via “from home or bought over‐the‐counter (OTC)” (n = 167, 88% [95% CI 82%‐92%]). Pain medication use in youth handball players is common, particularly among female players, and a substantial proportion of the overall use is due to injury‐related reasons. The vast majority of the players got their pain medication from home or purchased it OTC. Further research is needed to comprehend these patterns of use, including the long‐term use.

Musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) normally related to sports occur to a large degree during physical activity in soldiers from special operations forces (SOF) and are the leading course for disability in military personnel. Efforts to prevent these injuries have been initiated through human performance optimization programs in several SOF´s. However, to provide the best conditions for the development of such strategies initially a comprehensive description of the injury epidemiology in this very unique population is required. Overall, studies indicate that more than half of SOF Operators—who have training amounts similar to elite athletes—experience one sports‐related injury per year, and the most common sites of injury are the shoulder, lumbar spine, and knee. Around half the injuries are acute, and the other 50% are chronic injuries. Although the type of injury is mapped, there is a lack of data regarding causes, mechanisms, and severity of injuries.
