BACKGROUND: Assessing postural control is important for the assessment of motor function after concussion. Data used for postural control assessment typically do not take the sport played, age, or sex of the athlete into consideration. It is plausible these variables may be significant when making return-to-play decisions. RESEARCH QUESTION: This study used the BTrackS database to examine differences in postural control in athletes playing different types of sports and across sex and age...

High volume endurance training may increase the risk of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in middle-aged athletes. Limited data are available describing the cardiovascular phenotype of middle-aged endurance athletes, or the impact of AF on atrial function and exercise performance performed in sinus rhythm. The purpose of this study was to characterize LA phasic function at rest and during exercise in athletes with paroxysmal AF, and to determine its impact on exercise performance. Fifteen endurance trained males (EA) (56 ± 5 years) without AF and 14 endurance trained males with paroxysmal AF (EA-AF) (55 ± 8 years) underwent echocardiography during cycle-ergometry at light and moderate intensities...

The aim of the present study was to analyze the sporting progression from U14 to senior categories of elite Spanish high and long jumpers. For prospective analysis, 300 athletes ranked top 20 at U14 were analyzed (153 female and 147 male). For retrospective analysis, 64 athletes ranked in the top 20 in the senior category were included (21 female and 43 male). Ranking positions were registered in each of the seasons where they presented records. Only 6.3% (19) of athletes who reached the top 20 at U14 became successful senior athletes [4...

High-level athletic performances may be a proxy for the trajectory of optimal function of human biology with advanced aging and the differences between males and females. Males are faster, stronger, and more powerful than females and these physical attributes decline dramatically with advanced aging for both sexes. Experimental mechanistic studies determine the physiological mechanisms for these sex and age differences in human physical performance. The assumption however, that real-world performances solely reflect the biological and physiological differences between the sexes and with advanced aging, even among elite athletes, is not complete...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diffusion studies have shown chronic microstructural tissue abnormalities in athletes with history of concussion, but with inconsistent findings. Concussions with post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) and/or loss of consciousness (LOC) have been connected to greater physiological injury. The novel mean apparent propagator (MAP) MRI is expected to be more sensitive to such tissue injury than the conventional diffusion tensor imaging. This study examined effects of prior concussion severity on microstructure with MAP-MRI...

We assessed the training, work and Life Stress demands of a mixed gender group of 48 top amateur short-distance triathletes using an online retrospective epidemiological survey and the Life Events Survey for Collegiate Athletes. On superficial inspection, these mainly masters athletes appeared to undergo all the types of training that are recommended for the aging athlete. However, there were significant scheduling differences between their weekday vs. their weekend training, suggesting that age-groupers' outside sports commitments may affect their training efficacy...

Acute, traumatic distal biceps tendon injuries are common among the middle-aged athletic male population. Surgical repair of distal biceps tendon remains the most effective means to restore maximal strength of forearm supination and elbow flexion with relief of antecubital pain. To date, no consensus exists on the optimal fixation method during distal biceps tendon repair and multiple techniques are accepted, including 1- and 2-incision approaches and tendon fixation with suture anchors, transosseous sutures, interference screws, and cortical buttons...

The incidence of upper extremity (UE) injuries in sport, particularly with the shoulder and elbow in baseball/softball players, appears to be increasing yearly, especially in younger age athletes. Improving the objective criteria and testing methods used to determine return to play (RTP) readiness following non-operative or post-operative management of UE injuries is one aspect of the rehabilitation process that may significantly help in reducing reinjury rates. Currently, the majority of clinicians are still using post operative time frame and/or strength/range of motion as their main criteria for clearance to RTP following UE injury...

Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations are a common cause of pain in patients of any age. Athletes who participate in contact sports, such as hockey, football, rugby, and soccer, are particularly susceptible to such injuries. The ACJ has an important role in the function of the upper limb, and its complexity of movement makes it susceptible to acute injuries and chronic dysfunction with debilitating effects that must be treated appropriately and promptly to preserve function. Recently, ACJ has received increasing attention due to the development of new surgical techniques for the restoration of normal function and stability...

While sports medicine has traditionally focused on recovering from injury and returning athletes to sport safely after injury, there is a growing interest in the long-term health of athletes. The purpose of this scoping review was to (1) summarise the literature (methodologies and findings) on physical function, body composition and cardiometabolic health in midlife (age 40-65 years) former competitive athletes compared with non-athlete controls, (2) identify areas for future study in long-term health in athletes and (3) determine outcomes that could be evaluated in a future systematic review(s)...

Poor baseline reaction time, as measured via the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test (ImPACT), has been associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk in adult athletes. Our study sought to determine whether the reaction time and impulse control ImPACT test domains differed between ACL injured and uninjured pediatric athletes. A total of 140 high-school aged athletes comprising 70 athletes who went on to sustain an ACL injury between 2012 and 2018 and 70 age- and sex-matched uninjured controls were included in the study...

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is frequently injured in elite athletes, with females up to eight times more likely to suffer an ACL tear than males. Biomechanical and hormonal factors have been thoroughly investigated; however, there remain unknown factors that need investigation. The mechanism of injury differs between males and females, and anatomical differences contribute significantly to the increased risk in females. Hormonal factors, both endogenous and exogenous, play a role in ACL laxity and may modify the risk of injury...

BACKGROUND: Growing evidence indicates that chronic high-intensity endurance exercise predisposes male, middle-aged athletes to increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). The aetiology of AF in endurance athletes is multifactorial and remains incompletely understood. Despite their unique training demands, AF care in athletes remains largely based on evidence derived from the general population. Understanding the experiences of athletes with AF provides a necessary foundation for addressing challenges in managing their condition and identifying gaps in care...

OBJECTIVE: Sport-related concussion (SRC) is an evolving public health concern among youth athletes. Despite emerging evidence that race/ethnicity are important factors in determining concussion outcomes, studies examining race/ethnicity are limited. We conducted a systematic review to: 1) determine the prevalence of SRC studies that report race/ethnicity of their participants, 2) describe how race/ethnicity are used within each study, and 3) assess predictive factors for reporting of race/ethnicity...

Previous varsity sport injury research has analyzed how acute and chronic injury severity, type, and location differs between sport and sexes, with limited research in time to injury. Canadian university varsity sport injury research is especially sparse and mostly retrospective. Thus, we aimed to understand injury differences in male and female competitive university athletes competing in the same sport. Athletes who competed on the basketball, volleyball, soccer, ice hockey, football (male), rugby (female), and wrestling teams were eligible for the study...
