Association between change in cardiorespiratory fitness and prostate cancer incidence and mortality in 57 652 Swedish men
CONCLUSION: In this study of employed Swedish men, change in CRF was inversely associated with risk of prostate cancer incidence, but not mortality. Change in CRF appears to be important for reducing the risk of prostate cancer.PMID:38290798 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-107007 (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)

Injury incidence according to athlete impairment type during the 2012 and 2016 Summer Paralympic Games: a combined analysis of 101 108 athlete days
CONCLUSIONS: Incidence and type of injuries differed between athlete impairment types. Athletes with VI or NMD sustained the highest incidence of injury, and athletes with BD had the lowest. Findings of this study can inform the management of competition-related injuries in Para athletes.PMID:38286574 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-107144 (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)

Evaluating workforce needs: an investigation of healthcare professionals' attitudes, beliefs and preparedness towards the management of Para athlete mental health at the Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022 Paralympic Games
CONCLUSION: HCPs working at the Paralympic Games considered Para athlete mental healthcare important and reported perceived stigma, yet indicated low rates of mental health screening. Most respondents expressed the need for mental health education. Culturally sensitive training and active education strategies should be implemented to optimally manage Para athlete mental health.PMID:38272650 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-107406 (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)

Year-round injury and illness surveillance in UK summer paralympic sport athletes: 2016-2019
CONCLUSIONS: To optimise health and performance in Paralympic sport athletes, system-wide mitigation initiatives should target priority injury problems occurring in the lumbar/pelvis, shoulder, thoracic spine/ribs and wrist. Illness types causing the greatest burden vary with impairment group, and illness mitigation initiatives should consider athlete impairment types in their design, while continuing to note the high incidence of respiratory and gastrointestinal illness across all impairments. Further research should examine associated risk factors and the influence of impairment categorisation.PMID:38253433 | DOI:10.1136...

Effect of a coaching intervention to enhance physical activity and prevent falls in community-dwelling people aged 60+ years: a cluster randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSION: A physical activity and fall prevention programme including fall risk assessment and prevention advice, plus telephone-based health coaching, did not lead to significant differences in physical activity counts per minute or falls rate at 12 months. However, this programme improved other physical activity measures (ie, daily steps, MVPA, hours per week of walking), overall well-being, quality of life and disability.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ACTRN12615001190594.PMID:38253435 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-107027 (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)

One-year effectiveness of high-load compared with low-load strengthening exercise on self-reported function in patients with hypermobile shoulders: a secondary analysis from a randomised controlled trial
CONCLUSION: High-load shoulder strengthening exercise was not superior to low-load strengthening exercise in improving self-reported function at 1 year. High-load strengthening exercise may be more effective in improving patient emotions about shoulder pain and function, but more robust data are needed to support these findings.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03869307.PMID:38253436 | DOI:10.1136/bjsports-2023-107563 (Source: British Journal of Sports Medicine)
