The Guideline Consensus Panel consisted of representatives from key professional groups, researchers and methodological experts. Literature was retrieved through searches of 12 online databases, and articles on maternal physical activity, sedentary behaviour or sleep in the first year after childbirth were eligible for inclusion if they reported on any of 21 maternal or infant health outcomes, which were prioritised considering the preferences and values of postpartum individuals.

A Delphi process was conducted to identify relative contraindications to postpartum moderate-intensity to vigorous-intensity physical activity, which informed the development of the Get Active Questionnaire for Postpartum. Evidence to decision tables were developed, and feedback on the recommendations was solicited from end users (healthcare providers, exercise professionals, researchers, policy organisations and postpartum women and people).

Methods This prospective cohort study recruited 126 professional male football players from eight clubs in the English football league, who were followed across a 6-month period. Maximal velocity sprint running videos (240 fps) were collected from five teams during preseason (June to August) and three teams during the in-season period (October to March) and subsequently assessed using the Sprint Mechanics Assessment Score (S-MAS) by a single, blinded assessor. Sprint-related HSI within the previous 12 months and any new MRI-confirmed sprint-related HSI were reported by club medical staff. Incidence rate ratios were calculated using a Poisson regression model to determine the association between S-MAS and new sprint-related HSIs. Results There were 23 players with a previous sprint-related HSI and 17 new HSIs during the follow-up period, with 14 sprint-related injuries. S-MAS values were significantly greater among players with a previous HSI (median difference (MD): 1, p=0.007, 95% CI: 0 to 3) and those sustaining a new sprint-related HSI (MD: 2, p=0.006, 95% CI: 1 to 3) compared with uninjured players. Adjusting for age and previous injury found a significant association between the S-MAS and prospective sprint-related HSIs, with an adjusted incidence rate ratio of 1.33 (95% CI: 1.01 to 1.76) for each one-point increase in S-MAS. Conclusions This is the first study to identify an association between sprint running kinematics and prospective sprint-related HSI in elite male football players. Sprint running mechanics assessed using the S-MAS were associated with both past and future HSIs, with a 33% increase in the risk of a new HSI with every one-point increase in S-MAS. Given the association to injury, evaluating sprint mechanics within rehabilitation and injury prevention may be warranted.

Results 64 RCTs (n=12 684 participants) from 20 countries were included.

Meta-analysed data from 125 164 observations covering 33 health outcomes were compiled, showing favourable (n=26) or null (n=7) associations with CRF. Among general populations, the associations were weak-to-moderate, with favourable links between CRF and indicators of anthropometry and adiposity, cardiometabolic and vascular health, and mental health and well-being. Among clinical populations, CRF was lower in participants with a condition compared with healthy controls, with the largest difference for newly diagnosed cancer (mean difference=−19.6 mL/kg/min; 95%CI: −21.4,–17.8).

It is associated with pain and impairments in young adults and can be career-ending for professional athletes. Rehabilitation often involves high-level goals and expectations, and there is no guarantee that interventions (both surgical and non-surgical) can always achieve these. Existing research in adults with hip dysplasia has focused on non-athletes undergoing surgery, with minimal studies in athletes. To guide future research, it is important to appreciate current knowledge and recognise gaps in the literature. The aim of this editorial is to outline what is known about athletes with hip dysplasia and offer considerations for management and future studies. ### Hip dysplasia prevalence Hip dysplasia is a condition of insufficient acetabular coverage of the femoral head. The prevalence of hip dysplasia among athletes has a large variation in the reported data, potentially due to differences in diagnostic criteria. In elite ballet dancers, dysplasia rates of up to 89% have been reported1 with different imaging methods used across studies. The lateral centre-edge angle (LCEA) indicates lateral coverage of the femoral head by the acetabulum and is the traditional radiographic measure used to diagnose hip dysplasia. In a cohort of female football players, hip dysplasia was identified in 16% when using an LCEA cut-off of <20°; this increased to 66% when using an LCEA of <25°.2 More uniform diagnostic …","PeriodicalId":9276,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143640148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
