Imaging associations enhance the understanding of ECG abnormalities in male Brazilian football players: findings from the B-Pro Foot ECG study
CONCLUSION: This study found a 3% prevalence of abnormal ECGs in male Brazilian football players. Inferolateral TWI was associated with cardiac pathologies confirmed by CMR, even in athletes with a normal TTE.PMID:38621858 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-108053 (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)

The 11+ injury prevention programme decreases rate of hamstring strain injuries in male collegiate soccer players
CONCLUSION: The 11+ decreased the risk of HSI by 63% but did not improve recovery time. High to moderate compliance is essential and makes the programme more effective at reducing HSI.PMID:38599679 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-107323 (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)
