Conservative non-pharmacological interventions play a first-line role in the treatment and management of most NCDs. Systematic reviews (SRs) provide the highest level of evidence and significantly influence clinical decision-making. The primary aim of this study is to provide an overview of the evidence on the effectiveness of recommended conservative non-pharmacological interventions for highly burdensome NCDs. The secondary aim is to provide an overview of the evidence for guideline implementation. A literature search was performed in Medline (PubMed), EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL. Six reviewers will, in duplicate, independently screen and select studies following eligibility criteria. The population will include individuals with NCDs from disease categories chosen based on WHO burden of disease data and the importance of conservative rehabilitation for their management. Eligible interventions will encompass conservative non-pharmacological approaches recommended by clinical practice guidelines (ie, physical, psychological and education/advice). Eligible comparator will include no or minimal intervention and other competitive interventions. Outcomes will comprise proposed core outcomes for the respective diseases, including patient-reported (eg, pain) and performance-based (eg, physical functioning) outcomes. SRs published in the last 5 years as peer-reviewed journal article in the English language will be eligible. The overview will be reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Overviews of reviews.</p>","PeriodicalId":47417,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine","volume":"10 4","pages":"e002032"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11481113/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eleven people receiving physiotherapy for RCRSP (M=69 ± 12 years) participated in semistructured interviews. Data were analysed using content analysis, the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). The following barriers and enablers were identified in line with the six themes and assigned relevant TDF domains. (1) The impact of previous knowledge and experience on beliefs, (2) therapeutic relationships, (3) expectations around diagnosis, (4) a long and slow pathway to treatment, (5) patients' experience of doing the home exercise rehabilitation programme and (6) seeing positive outcomes. Patients' beliefs that an investigation was necessary to make a diagnosis are incongruent with clinical guidelines. Several enablers identified that influence adherence to shoulder rehabilitation exercises will inform the development of interventions designed to improve adherence. Our findings highlight the importance of educating patients to alleviate identified barriers to self-management for RCRSP. Furthermore, it underscores the need to train healthcare professionals with the necessary skills to effectively educate patients, specifically about misconceptions and uncertainties about the condition and exercise.</p>","PeriodicalId":47417,"journal":{"name":"BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine","volume":"10 4","pages":"e001978"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11481144/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142477621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study followed the injury reporting guidelines established by the International Olympic Committee, which include the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology-Sports Injury and Illness Surveillance (SIIS) and the cycling-specific extension.

The main objective of this study was to explore the perception of exercise during pregnancy using posts and comments on Reddit, a large social media platform. Relevant user-generated posts and comments were identified on Reddit by searching systematically for a combination of keywords related to pregnancy and exercise. A dataset of 120 posts and 2892 comments was randomly selected for reflexive thematic analysis. Three themes relating to perceptions of benefits and risks to exercise in pregnancy and how they influence decision-making were generated: (1) perceived benefits of exercise: 'We all know that exercise is good for us'; (2) perceived risks of exercise: Exercise as 'off limits'; and (3) information seeking and decision-making: 'I'm kinda stumped on exercise'. While the benefits of exercise during pregnancy are well recognised among Reddit users, perceived risks significantly influence their decisions to start, continue, adjust or stop exercising. Healthcare providers play a crucial role in guiding these exercise choices, emphasising the need for them to provide evidence-based advice and support pregnant individuals in achieving optimal physical activity levels.

The main aim of this study is to determine whether (1) current 'extra soft' cushioning material at the rear part of the shoe reduces injury risk compared with stiffer material and (2) cushioning under the forepart of the shoe also contributes to injury risk reduction. This randomised trial with a 6-month intervention will involve 1000+ healthy leisure-time runners who will randomly receive one of the three running shoe versions. Study shoe versions will differ in their cushioning properties (ie, stiffness) at the rear or the forepart. Participants will self-report any lower limb or lower back problems on a dedicated electronic system every week, while the system will collect training data from the participant's sports watch.
