The purpose of this study was to determine if GC use during practice was associated with a lower risk of sport-related concussion (SRC) during practices and games among high school football players. Methods Data were collected on 2610 athletes from 41 Wisconsin schools that self-selected into GC or Non-GC cohorts. Athletic trainers recorded practice and game exposures and SRCs through the 2023 season. Generalised linear mixed models were built to determine the effect of GC utilisation on SRC rates, accounting for school and player exposures. Results In the total cohort (Non-GC n=1188 (45.5%); GC n=1422 (54.5%)), 180 athletes (6.9%) sustained SRCs. 64 SRCs occurred during practice (GC n=33 (51.6%); Non-GC n=31 (48.4%)). GC use was not associated with a decreased risk of SRC during practice in the univariable analysis (relative risk (RR)=1.04, 95% CI 0.58 to 1.86, p=0.90) or after accounting for previous SRC within the last year (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.57 to 1.79, p=0.97). No players of either cohort wore GCs during games. There were 116 SRCs sustained during games (GC n=68 (58.6%); Non-GC n=48 (41.4%)). GC use during practice was not associated with the risk of SRC during games in the univariable analysis (RR 1.13, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.78, p=0.60) or after accounting for previous SRC within the last year (RR 1.13, 95% CI 0.71 to 1.78, p=0.61). Conclusion GC use during practice in high school American football players was not associated with a decreased risk of sustaining SRC in practice or games.

The organising committee was composed of representatives from international sports federations (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, Fédération Equestre Internationale, Fédération Internationale de Football Association, International Ice Hockey Federation, and World Rugby) and the International Olympic Committee. This organising committee proposed Co-Chairs of the Scientific Committee, who are also part of the Concussion in Sport Group (CISG). The Scientific Committee then invited lead authors and suggested coauthors (these recommendations were reviewed and amended by the lead authors) independent of the organising committee who had no input to the scientific process. A modified Delphi technique was used to devise the initial 12 questions that informed the Berlin International Conference on Concussion in Sport which were subsequently revised to 10 questions for the Amsterdam consensus.12 13 Ten themes around concussion were identified and evolved from previous iterations of the statement: prevention strategies, acute evaluation, office assessment, targeted interventions, rest and exercise, clinical recovery, evaluation of persisting symptoms, role of emerging technologies, retirement from sports and long-term effects. For each identified theme, the author group conducted a systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, with meta-analyses whenever possible, and then developed recommendations based on the results of these reviews.1–10 These …","PeriodicalId":9276,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143027187","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}

We explored individual and joint associations of waist circumference and physical activity with cancer risk. Methods Using UK Biobank data (n=315 457), we categorised individuals according to WHO guideline thresholds for waist circumference and self-reported physical activity levels. Multivariable-adjusted Cox regression was used to estimate HRs and 95% CIs of total cancer. The reference group comprised individuals with recommended levels of waist circumference (<88 cm for women and <102 cm for men) and physical activity (>10 metabolic equivalent of task hours/week). Furthermore, we estimated the proportion of cancers attributable to abdominal obesity and insufficient physical activity. Results During a median follow-up period of 11 years (3 321 486 person-years), 29 710 participants developed any type of cancer. Participants not meeting the WHO guideline on waist circumference had increased cancer risk, even when sufficiently physically active according to the WHO (HR 1.11, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.15). Similarly, individuals not achieving the WHO guideline for physical activity showed an elevated risk, even if they were abdominally lean (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.07). Not adhering to either guideline yielded the strongest increase in risk (HR 1.15, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.19). We estimated that abdominal obesity coupled with insufficient physical activity could account for 2.0% of UK Biobank cancer cases. Conclusion Adherence to both WHO guidelines for waist circumference and physical activity is essential for cancer prevention; meeting just one of these guidelines is insufficient.

My grandma always teased at dinners that I had a ‘hollow leg’ for all that I ate; I was always full of energy, and I could never sit still. A family friend and former dancer recommended ballet as the foundational movement language for dance, and within 10 years, I was awarded a scholarship to a ballet school in the UK at the age of 16. Vocational ballet school was a dramatic shift from the world of dance training I knew. I found myself homesick, far away from the big American family I loved, and one of 17 young men in the year, rather than the only boy in my local school. I struggled to adapt to the pressure I’d put on myself to be successful. At school, I was never personally told to watch my weight, but the heightened, competitive environment of the final year of school created a sensitive environment for all the students. I had a classmate who everyone said was my twin—we were both gifted with high insteps, flexible ankles and hyperextended knees. Before auditions for professional companies, our teacher told him he wouldn’t get a job at his present size—purely conjecture and just his opinion. Since everyone said we were twins, I took that to mean I needed to be thinner as well. What began as ignoring my post-meal sugar cravings started to snowball into very unhealthy habits and a mental battle with my body image.

Methods A total of 1723 independent Japanese adults aged ≥65 years were followed from 2011 to 2021. Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA) and sedentary time were measured using a triaxial accelerometer secured to participants’ waists. Results Over a median follow-up of 9.9 years, 336 deaths were recorded. When examined as tertiles, higher MVPA (both ≥10 and <10 min bouts) and LPA were associated with a lower mortality risk. Additional adjustment for MVPA attenuated the associations of LPA, but the HRs in the highest tertile remained significant. Longer sedentary time was significantly associated with an increased mortality risk, but not after adjusting for MVPA. In spline analyses, a linear dose–response association with all-cause mortality was observed for LPA, while the HRs declined progressively with higher levels of MVPA until approximately 80 min/day, beyond which they levelled out. Replacing 10 min/day of sedentary time with MVPA but not LPA was associated with a 12% lower risk of morality (HR 0.88; 95% CI 0.83 to 0.93); the HR for replacing 10 min/day LPA with MVPA was 0.89 (95% CI 0.84 to 0.95). These results were materially unchanged when excluding deaths within the first 5 years of follow-up. Conclusion Physical activity, regardless of intensity, was associated with a lower all-cause mortality risk among older Japanese adults. Replacing sedentary time or LPA with MVPA was associated with a lower mortality risk. The mortality benefit started from a low MVPA dose and additional benefits were associated with higher doses.

Neurodivergent conditions fall under the disability umbrella, even though individuals may not consider themselves to have a disability. Therefore, employers, such as sport governing bodies and clubs, have a responsibility to make reasonable adjustments to ensure their employees (eg, athletes, coaches) have an inclusive and accessible workplace (eg, designated quiet rooms with dimmable lighting).

Method A systematic review with meta-analysis was carried out. Five bibliographic databases were searched to August 2023. Results Forty-two studies were included (n=46 694). Overall, cancer patients with high muscle strength or CRF levels (when dichotomised as high vs low) had a significant reduction in risk of all-cause mortality by 31–46% compared with those with low physical fitness levels. Similarly, a significant 11% reduction was found for change per unit increments in muscle strength. In addition, muscle strength and CRF were associated with an 8–46% reduced risk of all-cause mortality in patients with advanced cancer stages, and a 19–41% reduced risk of all-cause mortality was observed in lung and digestive cancers. Lastly, unit increments in CRF were associated with a significant 18% reduced risk of cancer-specific mortality. Conclusion High muscle strength and CRF were significantly associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. In addition, increases in CRF were associated with a reduced risk of cancer-specific mortality. These fitness components were especially predictive in patients with advanced cancer stages as well as in lung and digestive cancers. This highlights the importance of assessing fitness measures for predicting mortality in cancer patients.

These interventions offer a range of benefits, including increased physical activity, improved fitness and strengthened social connections, addressing the physical, psychological and social challenges faced by individuals with SMD.4 However, access to such interventions remains limited by psychosocial and structural barriers such as insufficient resources, support and motivation, hindering their implementation and integration into patient care.
