Keeping Athletes Healthy at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Games: Considerations and Illness Prevention Strategies
Conclusion
It is apparent that athletes will be exposed to various stressors during both the preparatory and competition phases of the Summer Games. Athletes residing in the southern hemisphere appear to be at increased risk for illness during the preparatory phase, while female, Paralympic, water-sport and multi-competition/event athletes may be more susceptible to illness during the competition phase of the Summer Games. To maintain athlete health, illness prevention strategies should be targeted to stressors and at-risk athletes. Keeping athletes healthy will contribute to optimal Olympic and Paralympic athletic perfor...

What is the Maximal Exercise Heart Rate?
Discussion
Being physically active is an important part of health and with the U.S.’s more sedentary lifestyle it can be difficult to get enough activity. Normal transitions are a time where it can be difficult to incorporate old habits or to start new ones. Moving away to college with its new challenges such as erratic schedules, more time needed to study, increased access to food and alcohol can make it difficult for college students to develop good habits and make good choices regarding their health.
Because steps are easy to measure with inexpensive pedometers, the President’s Council on Physical Fitness ha...

Creatine Supplementation Improves Phosphagen Energy Pathway During Supramaximal Effort, but Does Not Improve Anaerobic Capacity or Performance
Conclusion
In summary, short-term monohydrated creatine supplementation (20 g⋅day-1 for 5 days) improves the ePCr, although it is not enough to significantly improve the AC measured by AC[La-]+EPOCfast and MAOD, or performance during a supramaximal effort.

What Are Complications of Fractures?
Discussion
Fifth metatarsal fractures are a common fracture of the foot and are the most common metatarsal fracture in children > 5 years of age and adults. There is a peak age distribution in the second and fifth decades of life. Teenage boys in organized sports are one of the most common groups affected. In acute fractures, acute pain and inability to walk are common presentations, whereas in a stress fracture an increase in activity, or chronic repetitive forces are at play. Fifth metatarsal fractures have various classifications. Fracture locations from proximal to distal include avulsion fractures (a common acute f...

Use of Alcohol and Alcohol-Related Morbidity in Finnish Former Elite Athletes
Introduction: The effect of a history of competitive sports on later use of alcohol and occurrence of alcohol-related diseases is poorly known. We investigated how a history of elite level sports was associated with alcohol consumption in middle-age and with alcohol-related morbidity and mortality.
Methods: The occurrence of alcohol-related diseases and deaths were followed using national registers from 1970 to 2008 among Finnish male former elite athletes (n = 2202) and matched controls (n = 1403) alive in 1970 (mean age = 45.1 yr). Hazard ratios were calculated by Cox proportional hazards model. In 1985, surviving parti...

Blood Flow Restriction Exercise Attenuates the Exercise-Induced Endothelial Progenitor Cell Response in Healthy, Young Men
Conclusion
In summary, this is the first study to show that BFR exercise did not augment EPC response to exercise, and in fact blunted the EPC response to low load unilateral KE exercise in young, healthy males.

The study was ethically approved by Edinburgh Napier University Research and Ethics Governance Committee. All participants gave written informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.

Can DIY and gardening help you live longer?
Conclusion
This study found that in a population-based sample of older adults (aged 60), high levels of non-exercise physical activity, or ‘an active daily life’ was associated with better levels of cardiovascular risk factors.
When followed over time, it was found an active daily life was associated with approximately 30% reduced risk of both a cardiovascular event (stroke, angina, heart attack) and death from any cause.
These associations were seen after adjusting for regular exercise, and for a number of other factors that could explain the association seen (confounders).
This study was a cross-sectional and cohort...

How Do You Treat Minor Pressure Ulcers?
Discussion
A pressure ulcer is defined as “a localized area of tissue damage developed when soft tissue (fat, muscle, arterial, and venous vasculature, etc.) is compressed between a bony prominence and any external surface for a prolonged period.” The ulcer forms when the compression cuts off the blood supply to an area resulting in tissue hypoxia, cellular death, and injury to the surrounding area. Some important risk factors include immobility or decreased mobility, poor nutrition, presence of infection, decreased oxygenation/perfusion, and underlying medical problems including sensory perception. Acutely ill...

A 15-minute daily walk 'will help you live longer' says study
Conclusion
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate whether doing less exercise than the recommended activity levels was still effective in reducing the risk of dying early among adults aged 60 or over.
The study found physical activity even below the recommended amount reduced mortality in this group. However, higher levels of physical activity were associated with an even lower risk of dying early.
This study has strengths in its systematic review methods, the fact it searched the literature for studies published over 20 years that assessed the effects of physical activity, and that it only includ...

Can exercise offset some of the harms of regular drinking?
Conclusion
This study aimed to explore whether physical activity is able to moderate the risk between alcohol consumption and mortality from cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It found that increasing levels of physical activity reduced the association for death from both all-causes and cancer.
This study has strengths in its large sample size, comprehensive assessments and long duration of follow-up. The findings are interesting, but there a few points to bear in mind:
As the authors mention, cohort studies such as this are unable to confirm cause and effect. Though the researchers have tried to account for various p...

A Staggering Number Of Top Athletes Don't Sleep Well
(Reuters Health) - Though regular exercise tends to improve sleep for mere mortals, up to half of elite athletes may be getting too little sleep or have poor quality sleep, according to a review of existing research.
Sleep disturbances can lead to fatigue and sleep-related performance anxieties that in turn affect athletic performance itself, the authors write in the journal Sports Medicine.
“Many studies to date have investigated the impact of sleep deprivation, which is the loss of sleep, on health, wellbeing, and aspects of athletic performance,” lead author Luke Gupta told Reuters Health by email.&nbs...

Regular exercise for the over-50s 'sharpens the mind'
Conclusion
It's no surprise to hear that exercise has health benefits – but not everyone knows that it's good for your brain as well as your body.
This study provides evidence that, even for people with some signs of declining mental function, regular moderately intense exercise has a positive effect.
There are a few minor caveats, however. Although the study showed tai chi is beneficial, this was based on only four trials.
And it's not completely clear how often people need to exercise. The study found any number of weekly sessions showed a benefit, but it's reasonable to think more sessions would be more beneficial. ...
