The Impact of Dietary Factors on the Sleep of Athletically Trained Populations: A Systematic Review
Introduction: Many athletically trained populations report poor sleep, especially during intensive training and competition periods. Recently, diet has been shown to significantly affect sleep in general populations, however, little is known about the impact diet has on the sleep of athletically trained populations. With sleep critical for optimal recovery and sports performance, this systematic review aimed to evaluate the evidence investigating the effect of dietary factors on the sleep of athletically trained populations.

Is hip joint range of motion associated with bony morphology in elite male Australian Football League draftees?
Introduction: Cam and/or pincer morphology has been proposed to play a key role in the development of hip-related pain and early hip OA in football players. There is currently no clinical measure to predict cam or pincer morphology, making identification of bony morphology reliant on imaging. Being able to identify bony morphology through clinical testing could reduce the need for imaging in young athletes and enable early detection which may prevent these players from developing symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between hip joint range of motion (ROM) and bony morphology (cam and pincer m...

Hip contact forces during walking in football players with and without hip/groin pain
Introduction: Evidence highlights that people with established joint pathology (i.e., hip osteoarthritis) adopt movement strategies to reduce joint loading. However, it is unknown whether lower joint loading is present in individuals early in the disease continuum (e.g., young people with hip/groin pain). We sought to compare hip contact forces (HCFs) during walking between football players with and without hip/groin pain. (Source: Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport)

The effect of a sports bra intervention on perceived breast pain and movement, and bra comfort and support in elite female cricket players
Introduction: Cricket is the second-highest participated sport for females globally. Female cricket players need sports bras that provide a high level of breast support because batting, bowling, and fielding cause substantial breast movements, which can be associated with breast pain.

A systematic review to identify the most frequently used tests to assess physical and physiological characteristics in adolescent, male rugby league players
Introduction: Monitoring physical and physiological characteristics of adolescent rugby league players is imperative to ensure long-term player development. Key physical characteristics identified in rugby league are height, body mass, and body composition, while key physiological characteristics are muscular power, muscular strength, linear speed, change-of-direction speed, and aerobic capacity. However, an array of tests are adopted in the literature to assess these characteristics, making it difficult for rugby league practitioners to select appropriate tests for implementation.

Adolescents with patellofemoral pain do not exhibit altered gait characteristics
Introduction: Patellofemoral pain often commences in adolescence, persists into adulthood, and is associated with reduced quality of life and decreased participation in physical activity. In adults, biomechanical factors such as peak hip adduction and knee extensor torque have been linked to elevated patellofemoral joint load and pain. Little is known about the biomechanical features of patellofemoral pain in adolescence, despite mounting evidence the condition occurs early in life. The aim of this research was to examine whether adolescents with patellofemoral pain exhibit biomechanical characteristics commonly proposed t...

Psycho-physical demands of Traditional Indigenous Games played by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women
Introduction: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, especially women, exhibit poorer overall health and lower levels of physical activity (PA) compared to non-Indigenous populations. Interventions to increase PA levels in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have had limited success with cultural elements critical to increase PA engagement. Traditional Indigenous Games (TIG) combine culture with PA and may be an important holistic approach to enhance PA levels of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Promoting Socioemotional Learning through Physical Activity: Empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children
Introduction: Health inequities reinforce intergenerational trauma and poor health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. These poorly understood health inequities lead to physical activity and health promotion programs that fail to meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. Targeted socio-emotional learning has been shown to empower children through school preparedness, promoting prosocial behaviour, building identity, and developing self-confidence. New research, untested with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, highlights that movement-based educational practices can better...

Lower limb coordination and coordination variability in runners with and without patellofemoral pain
Introduction: The motions of the lower extremity are usually coupled, and it is most likely that these motions are uncoupled/less well coordinated in the presence of patellofemoral pain (PFP). The evidence to support this hypothesis is contradictory. The aim was to investigate the difference between lower limb coordination and coordination variability between runners with and without PFP.

Using SUpported Motivational InTerviewing (SUMIT) to improve physical activity for people with knee osteoarthritis. A pilot, feasibility randomised controlled trial
Introduction: Our primary objective was to determine the feasibility of conducting a fully powered trial to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of using SUpported Motivational InTerviewing (SUMIT) to increase physical activity in people with knee osteoarthritis following a structured education and exercise-therapy program. Our secondary objective was to determine if a worthwhile treatment effect was likely for physical activity, physical endurance, joint-related quality of life (QoL), health-related QoL and pain.

Associations between hamstring strain and knee ligament injuries with isometric trunk and hip strength and morphology in professional Australian rules football and rugby league players
Introduction: Smaller lumbar multifidus at L5 (LM L5) and larger quadratus lumborum (QL) cross sectional area (CSA) potentially increase lower limb injury risk in elite team sports athletes. Including functional measures with structural may improve risk models. Relationships between isometric trunk and hip strength and morphology were explored with hamstring and knee ligament injury risk in Australian Football League (AFL) and National Rugby League (NRL) players.

A randomised, assessor-blinded, parallel group feasibility trial of flat, flexible school shoes for adolescents with patellofemoral pain
Introduction: Treatment options for adolescents with patellofemoral pain (PFP) are limited. Flat, flexible footwear are effective at reducing patellofemoral joint (PFJ) loads during running in those with PFP, as well as asymptomatic adults. Adolescents spend a large percentage of their weekday time in school shoes which often have a stiff, raised heel and inflexible midsole; features known to elevate PFJ loads. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of conducting a large-scale randomised controlled trial (RCT) on the effect of flat, flexible school footwear, when compared to traditional school footwear, in ...

The prevalence, severity, and mechanism of breast injuries within women's rugby league
Introduction: Breast injuries have a high prevalence in female contact sports, are mostly unreported and negatively affect athletic performance. In addition, they can have severe and long-term consequences, including breast fat necrosis, damage to milk ducts in lactating women, rupture of breast implants, and stunting breast development.
