Profiling the tackle and its injury characteristics in premier New Zealand club rugby union players over a complete season
CONCLUSION: This is the first study to investigate whether players were performing the recommended 'safe tackle technique' proposed by New Zealand Rugby's RugbySmart programme. As two of six tackle-related injuries occurred despite the RugbySmart preferred technique being performed, further technique analysis and a larger sample are needed to determine what techniques reduce risk of injury during tackles. As only 57.9% of tackles were performed with RugbySmart head and foot positions, further research and education regarding tackle technique recommendations are needed.PMID:35042680 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2021-104868

Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) in athletes: a narrative review by a subgroup of the IOC Consensus on 'acute respiratory illness in the athlete'
Br J Sports Med. 2022 Feb 22:bjsports-2021-104704. doi: 10.1136/bjsports-2021-104704. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is caused by paradoxical inspiratory adduction of laryngeal structures during exercise. EILO is an important cause of upper airway dysfunction in young individuals and athletes, can impair exercise performance and mimic lower airway dysfunction, such as asthma and/or exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Over the past two decades, there has been considerable progress in the recognition and assessment of EILO in sports medicine. EILO is a highly prevalent cause of ...

When to consider cardiac MRI in the evaluation of the competitive athlete after SARS-CoV-2 infection
Uncertainty regarding the prevalence and clinical implications of myocarditis in athletes after SARS-CoV-2 infection prompted sports medicine and sports cardiology physicians to develop new return-to-play protocols early in the pandemic.1 2 Concern that exercise may exacerbate the severity of cardiac injury and increase the risk of arrhythmic death in those with viral-related myocarditis led to recommendations for more intensive cardiac testing in athletes following SARS-CoV-2 infection, usually, in the USA, with some combination of a resting 12-lead ECG, troponin and transthoracic echocardiogram (so-called ‘triad&rs...

Closing the gap on injury prevention: the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre four-platform model for translating research into practice
Multiple studies across multiple sports have demonstrated that tailored exercise programmes reduce the risk of sport injuries by about 50%.1–3 These programmes typically include exercises to improve balance and neuromuscular control, optimise landing and turning techniques, and increase muscle strength and endurance. The ‘proof is in the pudding’ Despite the well-documented positive effects on injury risk,1–3 far too few athletes implement injury prevention exercises and programmes in their daily training.4–6 Real-life implementation in the field is poor, with high injury rates across most spo...

Risk factors for prolonged recovery from concussion in young patients
CONCLUSION: Overall, risk factors for prolonged recovery differ somewhat from risk factors for extended recovery. For patients who present to clinic with concussion, mental health is an important consideration which may impact the timeline for symptom recovery.PMID:36104148 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2022-105598

Diagnosis, prevention and treatment of common shoulder injuries in sport: grading the evidence - a statement paper commissioned by the Danish Society of Sports Physical Therapy (DSSF)
Br J Sports Med. 2022 Oct 19:bjsports-2022-105674. doi: 10.1136/bjsports-2022-105674. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis statement paper summarises and appraises the evidence on diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of common shoulder injuries in sports. We systematically searched Medline and Embase. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation tool was applied to evaluate the overall quality of evidence.For diagnosis, we included 19 clinical tests from mixed populations. Tests for anterior instability, biceps-labrum complex injuries and full subscapularis rupture had high diagnostic accuracy (low t...

London International Consensus and Delphi study on hamstring injuries part 2: operative management
Br J Sports Med. 2023 Jan 17:bjsports-2021-105383. doi: 10.1136/bjsports-2021-105383. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe key indications for surgical repair of hamstring injuries (HSIs) remain unclear in the literature due to a lack of high-level evidence and expert knowledge. The 2020 London International Hamstring Consensus meeting aimed to highlight clear surgical indications and to create a foundation for future research. A literature review was conducted followed by a modified Delphi process, with an international expert panel. Purposive sampling was used with two rounds of online questionnaires and an intermediate rou...
