Level of Agreement Between Child and Parent Reporting on the Child Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT5)
CONCLUSIONS: Fair agreement was shown between children and their parent on medical history and self-reported symptoms on the Child SCAT5 at baseline. When available, child and parent reporting should be used for concussion assessment and clinical decision-making.PMID:38343167 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0629.22 (Source: Journal of Athletic Training)

Restorative Physical Function and Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain in High School Athletes
CONCLUSIONS: The restorative group reported better FAAM-ADL and FAAM-Sport scores at RTP and 6-months post RTP relative to the symmetry group. Restoring individuals to baseline physical function rather than limb symmetry may ensure better PROs following a LAS.PMID:38291765 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0528.23 (Source: Journal of Athletic Training)

Quantitative evaluation of knee cartilage in professional martial arts athletes using T2 mapping: a comparative study
CONCLUSIONS: The findings demonstrated the impact of martial arts on the knee joint, characterized by higher prevalence of lesions and elevated cartilage T2 values, particularly in the medial compartment. The dominant legs of martial arts athletes seem to have higher risk of cartilage degeneration due to the observed interlimb differences in T2 values.PMID:38291773 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0127.23 (Source: Journal of Athletic Training)

Improving Athletic Trainers' Knowledge of Clinical Documentation through Novel Educational Interventions: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: The educational interventions improved ATs' knowledge of clinical documentation and provided valuable resources for their clinical practice; however, targeted continuing education is needed to address knowledge gaps.PMID:38291774 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0407.23 (Source: Journal of Athletic Training)

Differences in Attitudes Towards Injury Prevention Program Participation Based on Race and Collegiate Division in Female Athletes
CONCLUSION: BIPOC and Division III female collegiate athletes may need different implementation strategies for lower extremity IPPs. BIPOC individuals may benefit from interventions focusing on solutions for common barriers to participation and improving community led self-efficacy where Division III athletes may benefit from interventions focusing on education related to risk of injury and general preventative health behaviors.PMID:38291781 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0195.23 (Source: Journal of Athletic Training)

Comparison of weekly training load and acute:chronic workload ratio methods to estimate change in training load in running
CONCLUSIONS: The difference in change in training load measured by weekly training load and ACWR methods was high. To validate an appropriate measure of change in training load in runners, future research on the association between training loads and RRI risk is needed.PMID:38291782 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0430.23 (Source: Journal of Athletic Training)

The effect of external focus versus internal focus instruction on jump-landing biomechanics in healthy females
CONCLUSIONS: EF instruction may not produce immediate changes in movement compared to IF instruction. Hip and knee flexion were greater in the EF group compared to the control group but was not better than the IF group. Clinicians should provide instruction to patients, but the mode of instruction may not be as critical to see positive biomechanical changes. Patients may not always focus on the instruction being given, therefore the relationship between instruction and patient experience should be further explored.PMID:38291791 | DOI:10.4085/1062-6050-0154.23 (Source: Journal of Athletic Training)

A Roadmap for Sustainable Community-Engaged Partnerships in Athletic Training and Utilizing a Traveling Athletic Training Camp as an Implementation Strategy
J Athl Train. 2024 Jan 31. doi: 10.4085/1062-6050-0329.23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTImproving access to athletic trainers and increasing diversity in the profession have been major goals of the Strategic Alliance, with a particular interest in the secondary school setting. Within many marginalized communities, individuals are often faced with a lack of resources, high rates of poverty, and limited access to healthcare. This social and economic climate often extends to inequitable athletic training (AT) services and patterns of disparate health. Widely used and recognized strategies to cultivate diversity and address h...
