Coaches of youth field sports as delivery agents of injury prevention programmes: how are we training the trainers? A scoping review
Conclusion
CE that occurs on 1 day (one time-point) is most popular for preparing coaches as delivery agents of IPPs in youth field sports. While recognising pragmatic barriers, more expansive in-service training, support and feedback may enhance the effective implementation of IPPs.

Ramadan intermittent fasting and its association with health-related indices and exercise test performance in athletes and physically active individuals: an overview of systematic reviews
Conclusion
Continuance of training during RO could be associated with athletes’ mood state disturbances, decreased sleep duration and performance decline during high-intensity exercise testing, while preserving lean mass. However, careful interpretation is necessary due to the low-to-critically-low methodological quality of the included reviews. (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)

Burnout in sports medicine physicians: an American perspective
Physician burnout is a growing problem within the healthcare system and sports medicine physicians are not exempt. Burnout is a job-related, long-term stress reaction manifesting as emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and feelings of decreased personal achievement which may occur simultaneously with depression.1 Its impact on the healthcare system is not trivial, contributing to decreased patient satisfaction and clinical productivity, and increased occupational/personal distress, medical errors, unprofessional behaviour and physician turnover.2 3 The authors approach this topic as physicians within the American Medica...

Ms-represented: strategies to increase female representation in sports cardiology research
Female athletes are unduly under-represented in sports cardiology research, resulting in an inferior knowledge base to inform clinical management.1 Accurate and timely diagnosis of pathology in female athletes using electrocardiography or cardiac imaging is currently limited by our poor understanding of the ranges of normality in the female athlete’s heart.2 This editorial seeks to identify factors contributing to inequitable sex representation in sports cardiology research and proposes strategies to promote greater female athlete engagement (box 1). Box 1The six principles for sex parity in sports cardiology researc...

Cardiac troponin elevation in athletes: blame the musician and not the instrument
Cardiac troponins (cTn) are a heterogeneous family of intracellular structural proteins that are typically absent from the circulating blood pool in the absence of recent or on-going myocardial injury. The development and wide-spread dissemination of cTn testing revolutionised clinical medicine. Replacing historically useful but non-specific markers of tissue injury including creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and aspartate transaminase, cTn testing enabled prompt and accurate diagnosis of myocardial injury. Prompt cTn testing, when coupled with the appropriate clinical scenario, represents the gold-standard method of ...

All-cause mortality risks among participants in mass-participation sporting events
CONCLUSION: Participating in mass-participation sporting events was associated with a non-significant increased odds (1.92) of mortality and a low absolute event rate (4.2/100 000 participants) within 7 days post-event, whereas a 30% lower risk of death was observed compared with non-participants during 3.3 years of follow-up. These results suggest that the health benefits of mass sporting event participation outweigh potential risks.PMID:38316539 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-107190 (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)
