The study design employed a modified Delphi approach, with a panel comprising 28 experts, including healthcare professionals, coaches, and athletes. Potential survey items were generated by panel members who subsequently engaged in three rounds of voting using Research Electronic Data Capture. Items were graded by clarity, relevance, and importance. Items achieving 80% consensus on all three aspects were retained. The response rate was 100% in R round 1 and 96% in Rrounds 2 and 3. Of 124 initial survey items, consensus was reached on 53, 34 and 22 items during Rrounds 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Two accepted items were removed due to redundancy. Combined with 10 non-voting items, 117 items covered key domains, including training and injury history, dietary behaviours and associated factors (such as menstrual function), footwear, mental health, and specific considerations for Para athletes.

Likewise, injury prevention trials proposing warm-up interventions should strive to deliver reasonable comparisons. The contents and dosage of the intervention and control warm-ups may vary, especially in the context of pragmatic trials, but should be appropriately described to afford transparency and comparability. So, what is this elusive entity known as the ‘usual’ warm-up in injury prevention trials? And how may this affect the interpretation of the findings? This editorial explores the context and importance of the ‘usual’ warm-up in injury prevention trials and provides recommendations to harmonise future research. Warm-up protocols focused on injury prevention are often compared with other warm-ups to assess their relative effectiveness. Pragmatic trials often compare a standardised protocol (the intervention) to ‘usual’ warm-up (the comparator), and this is relevant to reflect current real-world practices. However, accurate evaluation of effectiveness requires clear descriptions of the content of the comparator warm-up protocols. Inadequate and incomplete reporting is more common than desirable, even in recent randomised studies published in high-profile journals.1–3 We describe three examples in detail to illustrate this problem. Example 1 : A cluster randomised trial compared the effectiveness of the warm-up programme ‘VolleyVeilig’ in reducing injuries (35 teams, n=282 players) to ‘usual’ warm-up (31 teams, n=236 players).1 While the ‘VolleyVeilig’ programme was described in detail, there was no information regarding the ‘usual’ …","PeriodicalId":9276,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142563275","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}

The Netherlands achieved a credible sixth place in the medal ranking of nations in the Olympic Games and a fourth place in the Paralympic Games. How does a small country (18 million inhabitants) achieve such success? The answer may be focus and collaboration. The Netherlands Olympic Committee has been focusing for at least 30 years on supporting those athletes who have a good chance of reaching the finals and preferably winning a medal at the highest international level. Tough choices are not avoided. If an athlete cannot meet the performance requirements, support is no longer provided. A multidisciplinary group of experts is placed around an individual athlete or team, all of whom must collaborate in support of the athletes and contribute to optimise performance. Sports medicine physicians are an integral part of the support teams, managing and preventing injuries and (legally!) facilitating improved performance. Sports medical education is an important component of the support programme. Athletes learn to register their own injuries and illnesses so that they gain insight into which circumstances contribute to overload and injury. In the Netherlands, para-athletes can access the same support as their non-impaired colleagues. A report by the Dutch Sports Council, an independent advisory body that focuses on highlighting the significance of sports and exercise for society, has made an important contribution to further improve the supporting facilities for para-athletes.

Methods This retrospective cohort study used data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service Database, including 60 252 individuals newly diagnosed with dementia between 2010 and 2016 who underwent health examinations both before and after diagnosis. PA was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyse the associations between PA (amount and changes) and all-cause mortality risk. Results During a mean follow-up of 3.7 years, 16 431 (27.3%) deaths occurred. Higher PA levels after dementia diagnosis were associated with a dose-dependent decrease in mortality risk (p for trend <0.001). Maintaining regular PA, compared with remaining inactive, was associated with the lowest mortality risk (HR=0.71, 95% CI 0.65 to 0.79). Sustained engagement in PA of any intensity was associated with decreased mortality risk: light (HR=0.70, 95% CI 0.67 to 0.75), moderate (HR=0.74, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.86) and vigorous PA (HR=0.70, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.79). Initiating any PA intensity after dementia diagnosis was associated with at least 20% reduced mortality risk. These associations were consistent in Alzheimer’s disease. Conclusions Maintaining or initiating regular PA, regardless of intensity, after dementia diagnosis was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality. Lifestyle modifications promoting PA might offer survival benefits for individuals with dementia. No data are available.

PRSs are typically calculated by aggregating the effect sizes of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with a particular trait or disease, usually derived from genome-wide association studies (GWASs), into a score for each individual to reflect their genetic liability to that trait or disease. Various methodologies exist for constructing PRSs, ranging from simple to more complex.1 The simplest approach often involves selecting a subset of SNPs based on their associated p values from the GWAS, while more sophisticated methods may incorporate additional data, such as linkage disequilibrium patterns or functional genomic information.1 Regardless of the approach, the appeal of PRSs lies in their simplicity and versatility, especially as they can be readily computed in cohorts with existing genetic data. This makes PRSs valuable both for controlling confounding and as a research focus in their own right. This editorial aims to discuss some key challenges in using PRSs for analysing physical activity and health, focusing on the difficulty of distinguishing mechanisms behind associations and the limited clinical interpretability of effect estimates. We also offer some practical recommendations for future research. Recent studies have employed PRSs related to physical activity to investigate various outcomes, finding that high scores are associated with lower risk of cardiometabolic risk factors, coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obesity and all-cause mortality.2–4 However, the interpretation of these results is hampered by several challenges. A fundamental challenge is that several potential explanations exist for why a PRS for physical activity might be associated with health outcomes.

Methods We conducted a cohort study of 679 highest-division Danish handball players aged 14–18. Players self-reported past-year shoulder, knee and ankle injuries at baseline, and weekly information on any handball-related injuries (irrespective of time loss and medical attention), illnesses, exposure hours and injury management over 31 weeks. Results At baseline, 46% (95% CI 42% to 49%) of the players reported a past-year shoulder, knee or ankle injury.

Methods Participants in the Mexico City Prospective Study were surveyed from 1998 to 2004 and re-surveyed from 2015 to 2019. Participants were asked about leisure time physical activity at baseline. Those who exercised up to once or twice per week were termed ‘weekend warriors’ and those who exercised more often were termed ‘regularly active’. A Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to assess mild dementia at re-survey. Cox models were adjusted for age, sex, education, income, blood pressure, smoking, body mass index, civil status, sleep, diet and alcohol at baseline. The attributable fraction was defined as the proportion of cases that would not exist if all adults were to exercise once or twice per week or more often. Results The analysis included 10 033 adults of mean (SD) age 51 (10) years followed for 16 (2) years. There were 2400 cases when mild dementia was defined as a score of ≤22 on the MMSE. Compared with the group that reported no sport or exercise, the hazard ratio was 0.75 (95% CI 0.61 to 0.91) in the weekend warrior group, 0.89 (95% CI 0.78 to 1.02) in the regularly active group and 0.84 (95% CI 0.75 to 0.95) in the combined group.

Methods A cross-sectional online survey open to trans people aged ≥16 years living in Australia was conducted between February and April 2023 and it assessed rates of sport/fitness participation, barriers to participation and bullying experiences through multiple-choice questions. Mental health measures comprised the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and self-reported history of self-harm and suicidality. Covariate-adjusted binary logistic regression models tested associations between interpersonal factors, sport/fitness variables and mental health outcomes. Results Of 664 respondents (median age 32 years), around one-third (32.8%) regularly participated in sport/fitness. Common internal barriers to participation included anxiety about others’ reactions (63.9%), body dissatisfaction/dysphoria (56.5%) and fears about feeling accepted/affirmed by others (54.7%). Respondents commonly reported experiencing inadequate bathroom/changing facilities (44.4%), exclusionary rules and regulations surrounding gender (36.7%), and invasive or uncomfortable policies or procedures (23.3%). Over one-third (34.4%) of trans people had experienced gender-based bullying or exclusion. Regular sport/fitness participation was associated with significantly lower K10 scores (mean difference=−4.4, 95% CI−5.8, –2.9, p<0.001) and a 40% reduction in odds of recent thoughts of self-harm and suicide (aOR 0.6, 95% CI 0.5, 0.9, p=0.01; aOR 0.6, 95%CI 0.4, 0.9, p=0.02).
