Aspirin Use to Reduce the Risk of Sports-Related Cardiac Arrest in High-Risk Athletes
I respectfully wish to challenge the conclusion by Rao et al that the jury is still out on the potential adverse cardiovascular consequences of endurance exercise.1,2 The finding in a 10-year registry of US road races that marathon running is a significant risk factor for cardiac arrest in middle-aged males is the most robust evidence to date that vigorous exercise can trigger such events.3,4 Pre-mature cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, as also reported in US ironman triathletes,5 mandates an evidence-based response to address this paradoxical complication of endurance sports participation.

Retrospective study of patterns of vitamin D testing and status at a single institution paediatric orthopaedics and sports clinics
Conclusion
More frequent testing has led to an increased identification of patients with insufficient and deficient 25(OH)Vit D levels. We found over 50% of patients tested were found to have 25(OH)Vit D levels under 30 ng/mL. There should be an increased awareness of patients with orthopaedic problems who may present with 25(OH) insufficiency.

Everything You Need to Know About Health Literacy, You Learned in Kindergarten
Casey Quinlan
I admit that this headline is fiction, not fact. However, I strongly believe that health literacy must be part of the K-12 curriculum in all schools, in the US and globally. Here’s why I hold that belief, and an outline for how we can make it happen.
The current mental map of the health care system that the average person has is that health care is something that happens “over there, to sick people, but not to me, because I’m not sick.” Then, when they do get sick, they’re flung against the health care delivery system—what I call the medical-industrial complex—while sick and/or in pain, which is...

Facilitators and barriers for the implementation of exercise are medicine in routine clinical care in Dutch university medical centres: a mixed methodology study on clinicians perceptions
Conclusions
Our study showed that even though many clinicians have a positive attitude toward an active lifestyle, many are not prescribing E=M on a regular basis. In order for clinicians to effectively implement E=M, strategies should focus on increasing clinicians E=M referral skills, improving clinicians knowledge of E=M referral options and develop a support system to ensure that E=M is high on the priority list of clinicians.

Integrating Physical Activity in Primary Care Practice
Based on a collaborative symposium in 2014 hosted by the Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), this paper presents a model for physical activity counseling for primary care physicians (PCPs). Most United States adults do not meet national recommendations for physical activity levels. Socioecological factors drive differences in physical activity levels by geography, gender, age, and racial/ethnic group. The recent Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) incentivizes PCPs to offer patients physical activity counseling.
