Exercise medicine and physical activity promotion: core curricula for US medical schools, residencies and sports medicine fellowships: developed by the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine and endorsed by the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine
Br J Sports Med. 2022 Jan 10:bjsports-2021-104819. doi: 10.1136/bjsports-2021-104819. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRegular physical activity provides a variety of health benefits and is proven to treat and prevent several non-communicable diseases. Specifically, physical activity enhances muscular and osseous strength, improves cardiorespiratory fitness, and reduces the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, mental health disorders, cognitive decline and several cancers. Despite these well-known benefits, physical activity promotion in clinical practice is underused due to insufficient trai...

Trends in Authorship Characteristics in The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1994 to 2014
Conclusion:
Within the past 2 decades, there has been a significant increase in the average number of authors per article in AJSM, as well as a higher proportion of international groups and academic institutions publishing in the journal. More nonphysicians are publishing in AJSM, with a significantly higher percentage of first authors with a bachelor’s degree as their highest degree. This is likely due to a combination of a general increased interest in research as well as increased competition among medical students. These factors have likely led to larger research groups and thus a significantly higher average num...

Focused Physician-Performed Echocardiography in Sports Medicine: A Potential Screening Tool for Detecting Aortic Root Dilatation in Athletes
Conclusions—
Sports medicine physicians are able to obtain measurements of the aortic root by focused echocardiography that are consistent with those obtained by a cardiac sonographer. Focused physician-performed echocardiography may serve as a promising technique for detecting aortic root dilatation and may contribute in this manner to preparticipation cardiovascular screening for athletes.

Developing the sports physical of the future
Every few years there’s news coverage on a young, assumed-healthy athlete, who suddenly dies on the field or court. Sometimes the tragedy even happens right in front of the players’ teammates, coaches and parents. Later, the autopsy often reveals a previously undetected heart condition like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, leaving many to wonder, “Why didn’t we know about this problem sooner?”
To help, Boston Children’s Hospital researchers are working on revamping current methods to screen for potential heart problems in young athletes—without adding huge expenses or time burdens to exist...

Can sports make kids smarter?
Was Thomas Jefferson on to something when he quipped, “A strong body makes the mind strong?” It appears so, according to a study of nearly 5,000 British teens. Researchers tracked physical activity and standardized test performance at ages 11, 13 and 16. Overall, kids who were more active achieved higher test scores in English, math and science.
Interestingly, as parents, educators and policymakers lament the lack of women in science, the results indicated a strong link between physical activity and science scores for girls.
The researchers, whose study was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, aren’t ...

Prevalence of clinically elevated depressive symptoms in college athletes and differences by gender and sport.
CONCLUSIONS: The CES-D identified clinically relevant levels of depressive symptoms in nearly one-quarter of college student athletes in this large cross-sectional sample. Female college athletes reported significantly more depressive symptoms than males. Findings suggest that depression prevalence among college athletes is comparable to that found in the general college population. In light of these findings, sports medicine personnel may wish to implement depression screening and assessment of depressive symptoms across sports to identify at-risk athletes. Risk factors related to depression in college athletes warrant ad...

Sports Medicine
Many students and future Doctors of Podiatric Medicine first entered this specialty of medicine being drawn to an interest in sports-related injuries. I know that was true for me. I remember the excitement of hearing Dr George Sheehan, the world-renowned sports physician, as a student in the Sports Medicine Club during medical school. Under the guidance of Dr Howard Palamarchuk, we were also allowed to participate in the Runners Medical Tent at the Boston Marathon each year. My early exposure to the world of Sports Medicine was an exciting one.

Study Outlines Which High School Sports Have Highest Concussion Rates
This study updates our understanding of concussion patterns in high school sports using injury surveillance data,” he said. “It adds to our existing understanding by providing the most recent ‘time-stamp’ in concussion incidence in high school sports.”
The study found trends in concussion rates not only for football but also more than a dozen other sports, including soccer, ice hockey and cheerleading — which were among the sports with the most concussion incidence.
The study also found that among all sports, there was only one in which the concussion rate was higher during practice than...

Implementing a Sports Ultrasound Curriculum in Undergraduate Medical Education
Curr Sports Med Rep. 2023 Sep 1;22(9):328-335. doi: 10.1249/JSR.0000000000001099.ABSTRACTThe utilization of sports ultrasound in the clinical practice of sports medicine physicians is growing rapidly. Simultaneously, ultrasound is being increasingly implemented as a teaching tool in undergraduate medical education. However, a sports ultrasound curriculum for medical students has not been previously described. In this article, we describe methods as well as barriers to implementing a sports ultrasound curriculum at the medical school level. Recommended content for the curriculum also is discussed. While educational goals an...
