Swedish sports medicine is alive and well!
This study demonstrates that reduced sedentary time (but interestingly not physical exercise) was associated with the lengthening of telomeres in white blood cells in older, overweight sedentary people. This emphasises the importance of reducing sedentary time, as well as increasing everyday physical activity. Clinically, these findings reinforce that the first step for overweight patients is to reduce sedentary time. The ethics and effects of concussion Concussion and the potential for brain injury are increasingly recognised. Parents may be reluctant to allow their children to participate in concussion-prone sports, such...

Energy balance: a crucial issue for exercise and sports medicine
The recently published issue of British Journal of Sports Medicine (http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/49/4.toc) includes articles on several important topics in exercise science and sports medicine. We are grateful to the many leading clinicians and scientists who have made these contributions. This editorial will address another relevant topic that requires focused attention—energy balance. Background Non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity and type 2 diabetes, are clearly the leading public health problems facing the world in the 21st century.1 The causes of NCDs are pred...

Insights into body composition adaptation: should we reconsider the use of body mass index in some sports?
Authors: Durmić T, Djelić M, Suzić Lazić J, Lazović Popović B, Dekleva M, Soldatovic I, Mazić S
Abstract
The purposes of this study were to indentify the under/overweight/obese frequencies by body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BF%) in athletes within groups of sport and to investigate the accuracy of the BMI as a measure of BF%. Cross-sectional design study on elite male athletes (n = 2234, aged 22 ± 4 years) from 51 sports disciplines who were classified according to two different sport classifications: predominant characteristic of training (four group model) and type and intensity of exercise...

The Cognitive Benefits of Exercise in Youth.
Abstract
As our schools and children struggle to meet ever-changing and mandated academic standards, challenges in the time spent on physical activity continue to arise. On the other hand, however, we continue to face a global climate mired in the midst of an obesity epidemic. It is widely accepted that the health benefits of exercise are wide-ranging and powerful. It appears that cognitive function and academic achievement are additional realms beyond the physical where exercise is beneficial. The school setting presents a unique public health opportunity to enact change on a variety of levels. As sports medicine...

Using lifestyle medicine in u.s. Health care to treat obesity: too many bariatric surgeries?
Abstract
More than one-third of Americans are classified as obese. Many clinicians perform bariatric surgery (BSx) when it is said that lifestyle intervention failed. However, BSx is medically complex, with extremely variable success, certain failures, major complications, and sometimes death. Although many studies declare BSx as more effective for producing weight loss than nonsurgical lifestyle management, these conclusions are flawed when lifestyle management between cohorts are not identical. Lifestyle behavior change is essential to success for both surgical and nonsurgical weight loss, as over 50% of BSx pat...

Risk factors, diagnosis and non-surgical treatment for meniscal tears: evidence and recommendations: a statement paper commissioned by the Danish Society of Sports Physical Therapy (DSSF).
Abstract
This statement aimed at summarising and appraising the available evidence for risk factors, diagnostic tools and non-surgical treatments for patients with meniscal tears. We systematically searched electronic databases using a pragmatic search strategy approach. Included studies were synthesised quantitatively or qualitatively, as appropriate. Strength of evidence was determined according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation framework. Low-quality evidence suggested that overweight (degenerative tears, k=3), male sex (k=4), contact and pivoting sports (k=2), and frequent...

Is overweight a risk factor for sports injuries in sports participants aged 4-24 years?
Conclusions
There is some evidence that overweight sports participants (4–24 years) do not have an increased injury risk compared to normal-weight sports participants, even when the level of physical activity is accounted for.

Athletes at risk: Knowing the dangers of heat stroke
For many young athletes, fall sports practices have already started. Whether it’s football two-a-days, soccer practices on a sweltering turf field, or cross country training in the late summer sun, the threat of heat exhaustion and heat stroke is prevalent across all sports.
It’s an important time for athletes and parents to be aware of the signs of heat illnesses, especially given that children and adolescents are more susceptible to heat stroke than adults. Younger athletes produce more heat during activity, sweat less, and adjust less rapidly to changes in environmental heat.
Certain sports also carry unique risks f...

Return to Sports and Physical Activity After Total and Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions
Low- and higher-impact sports after both TKA and UKA are possible, but it is clear that more patients RTS (including higher-impact types of sports) after UKA than after TKA. However, the overall quality of included studies was limited, mainly because confounding factors were inadequately taken into account in most studies.

Youth sports injury prevention: keep calm and play on
In recent years, there has been extensive media focus on youth sports injuries, especially concussions. While youth sports training and competition are more intense than ever, the focus on the ‘injury risk’ downside of youth sport is unfortunate because the benefits of sports participation (improvements in overall health1 and bone density;2 lower rates of overweight/obesity,3 cardiovascular disease,3 diabetes,3 risk-taking behaviours,4 depression4 and teen pregnancy;5 and enhanced self-esteem4 and peer socialisation4) far outweigh the risks for children and teens. In fact, the injury risk for youth aged 6&ndash...

Relationships between sports club participation and physical fitness and body mass index in childhood
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that SC participation may be an element for building health. Preventive healthcare projects for SC dropouts (obese children and girls) are needed.PMID:34180649 | DOI:10.23736/S0022-4707.21.12643-X
